RADIO DAZE-POP HITS OF THE 80'S VOL.5: A tone-kool mix of adult contemporary pop from the 80's, (though it will hardly leave anyone "dazed") the fifth installment from Rhino's reissue series contains the usual handful of guilty pleasures. Former Eagle Randy Meisner rocks country style on HEARTS ON FIRE, saxman Grover Washington and soulman Bill Withers blend seamlessly on JUST THE TWO OF US, and ex-Dwight Twilley Band belter Phil Seymour unleashes a power-pop smack-down on PRECIOUS TO ME. Psuedo-new waver Donnie Iris, Canada's April Wine, and raspy-but-right Kim Carnes are other all but forgotten artists who round out this sampler for the mellow party programmer in you.

RATING: THREE HAVE A NICE DAZE

If I Should Sail - Nielsen / Pearson
Ah! Leah! - Donnie Iris
Hearts On Fire - Randy Meisner
Precious To Me - Phil Seymour
Just Between You And Me - April Wine
Somebody's Knockin' - Terri Gibbs
Just The Two Of Us - Grover Washington, Jr. With Bill Withers
Love You Like I Never Loved Before - John O'banion

How 'Bout Us - Champaign
Sweetheart - Franke & The Knockouts

Lacks a lot of the filler that plagued the earlier volumes, and does include some actual hits ("Bette Davis Eyes," "Just the Two of Us," "Living Inside Myself," and "Sweetheart"), but more could have been done to tighten up this CD. All original versions.

I'm very pleased with the Radio Daze CD that I purchased through Amazon. It arrived rather quicky and in great condition. I've already enjoyed listening to this numerous times.

extraordinaria coleccion. me extraña que este descatalogada. si puedes adquirir los 5 volumenes, tendras una joyita. lejos, este es el mejor volumen de los 5
