"Listening to this cd for the first time was like stepping back to the year 1986. All the songs are good and representative of the memorable New Wave songs and bands of the early and mid 80's. A great cd for someone who wants to relive that era without buying a bunch of cds."

Dig up the DJ!

"If you can find these- snap them up! I have had these compilations for years- I think they only made three of them. (1986, 1987, and 1988.) I have owned them for longer than I care to admit. They survived years of heavy rotation in my CD changer, and I had to stage covert operations to snag them back from over-enthusiastic borrowers more than once.



Between the three discs, a lot of great material is covered- I guarantee you'll re-discover some old favorites. If you're a fan of New Wave 80's stuff, and are familiar with the usual stale offerings of the standard compilation discs- these will be a refreshing surprise.



I highly recommend all three of these CD's, and you might also want to take a look at the MTV's 120 Minutes compilations, which date back to when MTV actually had- GASP!- decent programming."
