Priority Records did in the early 90's a great job of editing this series with great sound and include some songs (every cd have 9 songs only) that were not easy to find and if not, you had to buy an entire CD for one song. Today in 2010 the majority can be found on download, but do not find again "Where Are You Now?" by Synch, original published in late 1985 and again in 1989. Many will not like this song but it is not easy to found. The rest of the songs are classic 80's like Taco, Men Without Hats, Harold Faltermeyer, Talk Talk, but others songs are for the recycle bin ....

Ok cd, just bought it for one song. The rest are ok but not something I would run out and get. Just could not find a site to download (legally) the one song.

On this awesome cd you'll find some great full length songs...some are pretty hard to find elsewhere (if they're even on cd)! If you're lucky enough to find this cd, get it!

Yet again Priority Records finds enough good 80's material to fit a (short) CD. Guilty pleasures abound on this disc, including "Puttin' on the Ritz" (cold and cheesy), "I Wanna Be a Cowboy" (which I suppose was funny once) and Pseudo Echo's remake of "Funkytown". Highlights include Talk Talk's "It's My Life" and the dual instrumentals "Peter Gunn" and "Axel F". As usual, there's a few duds - "Cross My Heart" is an uninteresting (but harmless) dance number, and "Where Are You Now?" is a horrible pop ballad which reminds me of Bad English's "When I See You Smile", and no, not in a good way. Not a bad set, but you might want to try somewhere else first.

I love the music on this CD, but the entire CD skips. It is a very bad product. now I will have to purchase another one from somewhere. This sucks!!!!!
