has the full album version of I Ran by Flock of Seagulls, which I've never seen on any other compilation. Also has the brilliant 80s pop dance song Push It by Salt n Peppa, which I've also not seen on other 80s compilations (no idea why, as it's clearly one of the most fantastic songs to come out of 80s). Also, similar to above 2 tracks mentioned, it has the track Dub Be Good To Me. A classic to me, but I've seen it on this 80s compilation and this one alone.
Though I felt it deserved the full 5 stars in my review, there were 1 or 2 absent tracks that would have made this compilation perfect.
Call Me my Blondie is a key one (which I've seen on many other comps), or Rush Rush by Blondie/Debby Harry (which I have ONLY seen on the Scarface soundtrack, which is one the best 80s compilation cds in its own right).
Also a Bonnie Tyler track (I've also noticed Bonnie Tyler tracks e.g. Total Eclipse of the Heart are usually not 80s compilation cds for some reason).
Maybe 1 or 2 others, but like I said, because of what I said in 1st paragraph this deserves 5 stars to me.

the best 80s compilation cd boxset I've seen or owned

great value
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2017Verified Purchase
One of the better compilations i've bought. Lots of good music and great for car journeys (names displayed on stereo too). Card sleeves a bit cheap and fiddly but can't complain when it's 100 songs for a fiver.

Lots to like
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2016Verified Purchase
Good selection, 100 tracks, lots to like, some tracks that don't seem to turn up very often, like Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock - it takes two, Levert - casanova and The Mint Juleps - every kind of people, to just name a few, mixed in with lots more well known tracks
