DESCRIPTION
Turn back the clock to an unforgettable era, with 32 huge hits from 1980-1984 brought together across 2LPs.
LP1 launches with Wham!'s feel-good 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go', before Duran Duran's 'Is There Something I Should Know?' and Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' capture the contemporary sound of the new decade. The Human League's 'Don't You Want Me', Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love' and Heaven 17's 'Temptation' continue an outstanding run of synth-pop classics, with Blondie and Frankie Goes To Hollywood completing Side One. Culture Club open Side Two with 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me', followed by colourful '80s favourites from Adam & The Ants, Altered Images and Kajagoogoo. Haircut 100's 'Love Plus One' and ABC's 'The Look Of Love' lead into Dollar and Bucks Fizz, rounding out a side packed with pure pop nostalgia.
LP2 starts in suitably anthemic style with Spandau Ballet's 'Gold', alongside Elton John's uplifting 'I'm Still Standing' and Billy Joel's 'It's Still Rock and Roll to Me'. The Cars' 'Drive' and Bonnie Tyler's epic 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' bring some of the decade's biggest power-pop moments, while Laura Branigan's 'Self Control' and Matthew Wilder's 'Break My Stride' pave the way for Dexys Midnight Runners' 'Come On Eileen'. Side Two brings another burst of '80s energy with Ray Parker Jr.'s 'Ghostbusters', Chaka Khan's 'I Feel for You' and Billy Ocean's 'Caribbean Queen'. Diana Ross' 'Upside Down' is followed by favourites from The Police, Pretenders and The Jam, before Roxy Music's 'Jealous Guy' provides an elegant finale to this celebration of 1980-1984.
