Acoustic 80's - Various Artists

Advantages: 2 cd set with some great tunes from the 80's
Disadvantages: a few not well know songs on here

...If you remember the 80's and loved the music , then this is defiantley the album for you ... This two disk CD set covers all various artists from 1980-1989 and has a combined forty songs !! not bad eh. There are so many songs and groups on here that a lot of you will remember and it brings back good times for me remembering the school disco's ! My favourites on this album are "hungry like the wolf" that has to be one of mine as a Duran Duran fan, and I have good memories of Billy Ocens "Get outo my dreams, get into my car". Another classic is "Prince Charming" by Adam and the ants. There are a couple of dud songs on here that I did not really enjoy that much, such as "I'm a wonderful thing baby" and "Ride on time" I really hated that song when it came out as it was number one for weeks and weeks and just got on my nerves...

Disadvantages: None

...My wife was in Woolworths the other day, and whilst browsing at the albums which were in the sale she came upon this wonderful collection for the remarkable price of 99p.

Cover Design This is pretty uninspiring but having said that it must have done something to attract my wifes attention. Basically, the album cover is black, with 56 purple circles with the number 1 in yellow emblazoned within each purple circle to signify the fact only number 1 singles are included on the album. Near the top of the cover, the album title is emblazoned in yellow, and a selection of artists is detailed at the foot of the cover to attract your attention. Tracks What the album lacks in design it certainly... Read review

...FANTASTIC 80'S 2 Since I remember quite a bit of this 80's music growing up with it I wanted to review this double CD album. This is probably the best out of the three of them and has songs on it most of you will remember. The CD's cover a wide range of this 80's music and is highly enjoyable (if you liked the music that is !!) Both disks have hits from them that reached number one in the charts at the time and bring back good memories from my schooldays. The first disk contains : 1. Club Tropicana by WHAM - This single was released in 1983 just as the band was taking off and this was probably one of their biggest hits that made them, this had a bright colourful music video for the time. 2. The sun always shines on TV - A-HA - This single was released in 1985 and was a big hit for this band and probably their most... Read review
