4.0 out of 5 stars Another Stellar Collection from Rebound Records., April 15, 2000

By	"johnny_belinda" (Monarch Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Budget-line subsidiary Rebound Records has made quite the name for itself with its specialty-priced '80s compilations. Usually, the tracks are obscure favorites, or decade standouts. This release is no exception. The 12" version of "Tainted Love" is a knockout, as is nearly every track, except for the Joe Jackson and Squeeze contributions. Not to worry; with tracks like ABC's "Be Near Me," Bananarama's "Robert DeNiro's Waiting," Tears For Fears' "Change," the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star," and the Go-Gos' "Our Lips Are Sealed," you will find yourself extremely satisfied with this delightful disc. (And, hey, it's easy on the ears AND the pockets.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good enough variety for a trip around town, July 9, 1998

By A Customer

Original tracks, a couple of "B" siders, but overall a good mix. You'll keep it in the car's CD player for a couple of rides home from work. -Ted Havill

3.0 out of 5 stars Finding 88 Lines, November 16, 1999

By	Michele Wise "The Wises" (Newtown) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The original version of 88 Lines does exist out there. Look through the endless 80's collections that are out now. Vol. 2, Living in Oblivion, and Just Can't Get Enough, Vol. 3-New Wave Hits Of The 80's. There's even a collection, Hits From Underground 80'S, that includes Juanita, Juanita.
