"Eclectic sampling of 80s sounds in their full length versions



If you love everything 80s when it comes to dance music, this is an ideal compilation, also great for getting hard -to-find 12" versions on CD. This 2 disc set focuses on sounds popular in Europe, tracks from the end of the disco era, soulful tracks, street sounds, new wave, hi-nrg, and Italian disco sounds. Stand out tracks that are hard to find on CD include the full length LP version of Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora (as opposed to the 12" mix, which is actually shorter than the LP version), Regina's baby Love, and synthdance new wave tracks that were never really recognized in the states but are excellent, by the bands such as The Twins and Kano. Even Barry Manilow has a go at and pulls off an electronic dance song that is the epitome of the 80s sound. Track times:
