4.0 out of 5 stars It's About Time!!, November 14, 2003

By	D. Hawkins (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kazaa and other file sharing services have prospered primarily because many older songs (one-hit wonders from the 80's, for example) were not available anywhere else. I couldn't see spending over $20 for the Moving Pictures album just to hear the wonderful "What About Me," so I got it off Kazaa. It's good to see that it's finally been released on a compilation with other hard to find songs. Songs by Chillwack and Sneaker that I hadn't heard in decades brought a big smile to my face. Some of the songs here are available on endless 80's compilations already ("Jessie's Girl," " Relax," "I Melt with You") so this CD isn't a must buy, but the hard to find songs make it worthwhile. Now if only some great label (are you listening Rhino?) would make more CD's with impossible to find one-hit wonders, my life would be complete!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The right versions!, June 15, 2003

By	R. Ruble "russal" (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Finally! Some of these single versions I 've never seen on CD. Why did it take so long for the RADIO mixes of "I Ran" and "Dancing In Heaven" to make it to CD?

An excellent New Wave (and a few non-New Wave, but you can always program those out!) compilation. It's up there with the Rhino collections. Good liner notes, too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware: great collection but edited songs :(, March 13, 2007

By	Charlie Lettuce "Charlie Lettuce" - See all my reviews

I bought this CD because it contained a great collection of songs, many of which are hard to come by now from the original artists. But I was very dissapointed that several of the songs wound up on somebody's cutting board! Just to name 2 examples, "Valley Girl" and "Dancing in Heaven (Orbital B-bop)" both had their last verses removed. So buyer beware.
