Original 80's Remix Box Set, The - Various Artists

Advantages: Some good remixes and the price
Disadvantages: Not many, some fillers but i suppose you get that with every album

...This cd is an absolue bargain. I would highly recommend purchasing this as Bad Boy and Puff Daddy are well known for producing good remixes and the series of albums was a very good idea, another money spinning venture but one for the fans who had remixes on b sides of cd singles and recorded off the radio! Special Delivery - G Dep, Ghostface Killah, Keith Murray & Craig Mack. Quite a repetitive tune but a cult favourite. More likely to hear it in the clubs I Need A Girl Part 2 - Ginuwine, Mario Winans, P Diddy & Loon. Video and single released off the back of the successful part 1. Some say they prefer this version, i actual do and its one of the best tracks on the album Bad Boy For Life - P Diddy, Busta Rhymes & MOP. A shouty version of the original.

Advantages: 18 Wonderful Number one Tracks from the 80's
Disadvantages: None

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

Advantages: Great songs from the 80's
Disadvantages: A few one hit wonders

...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
