Liner Note Authors: Joseph Lanza; Charles McCardell. Photographer: Lynn Goldsmith.Frank Zappa once suggested that a fascination with the notion of love is the worst thing that ever happened to Western pop music, but the fact remains that every era has had its ballads and love songs because, well, it's the one subject everyone seems to have a stake in -- be it happy or sad. This massive set collects 150 love songs from the 1980s, and like all the Time Life sets, it comes attractively assembled and with great sound. If the power love ballad was truly born in the 1970s, the decade of the '80s perfected it, and from Phil Collins to Whitney Houston, love has seldom sounded so big and important. ~ Steve Leggett

UK three CD set, the sequel to the enormously popular first volume of '80s Electronica. Anthems Electronic 80s 2 picks up where its predecessor left off. Ministry of Sound has crafted three discs of Electronic music from the most important bands of the era. The album features 60 epic tracks such as Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)', David Bowie 'Let's Dance' and Frankie Goes To Hollywood 'Relax', as well as pioneering artists like Kraftwerk and The Human League who built the foundations for producers, and therefore the sound, of today. With an unparalleled selection of tracks the bar has been raised with this ultimate package. While the importance of the music can't be understated, the bottom line is it makes for a brilliant listen. Ministry of Sound. 2010.

Liner Note Author: Kevin Flaherty. Released more or less in conjunction with MTV's 20th anniversary in 2001, this triple gatefold sleeve set (not a box as the title implies), with an appropriately gaudy 27-page book, delivers 42 typical examples of songs associated with the music channel in its fledgling years. With 35 Top Ten tracks, ten of which topped the charts, there's no shortage of video as well as radio memories incorporated into these three loosely chronologically arranged discs. Like many Hip-O releases, this favors music already owned by the Universal conglomerate. As such, some early MTV staples like Men at Work, Cyndi Lauper, and especially Duran Duran are MIA. Although their omission doesn't make this a substantially weaker set to the casual fan, more zealous listeners might... Less

Audio Remasterers: Allen Steelgrave; Bob Fisher .Rock All Night: The Best of 80s Metal is just weird enough to warrant a well-earned dollar or two if it lands in the discount bin. Obvious hair metal standards like "Lay It Down" by Ratt, Dio's "Rainbow in the Dark" and "Seventeen" from Winger keep things familiar, but the inclusion of tracks from D'Molls, Honeymoon Suite and Zebra help to make this compilation stand out (not really in a good way) from similar mixes. ~ James Christopher Monger

The Manhattans volume in Sony's budget-line S.O.U.L. series covers the mid-`70s through the mid-`80s, bizarrely disregarding the group's first two albums for Columbia. It's not exactly straightforward with the era it covers, either, as it includes the 1985 Top 20 R&B hit "You Send Me" but not the 1983 number four hit "Crazy" (quite possibly because the latter's production sounds like 1983 rather than a nostalgic throwback) and overlooks the Top 20 R&B singles "I Kinda Missed You," "It Feels So Good to Be Loved So Bad," and "We Never Danced to a Love Song." Just about any other Manhattans compilation would be preferable to this one, unless you're on a shoestring budget and don't mind the flaws. ~ Andy Kellman

2007 release of a fantastic six CD box set with 100 of the most popular songs to make it big in the big 80's. It was the post-punk, post-disco era of creativity that was spurred on by the dawn of the video age the added an extra dimension to pop music. Among the many tracks included are Erasure-A Little Respect, Yazoo-Don't Go, Marty Balin-Hearts, John Waite-Missing You, Slyfox-Let's Go All The Way, Thomas Dolby-She Blinded Me With Science, The Motels-Only The Lonely, When In Rome-The Promise, Culture Club-Karma Chameleon, Whitesnake-Is This Love, Ashford And Simpson-Solid, Stephen Duffy-Kiss Me, Pat Benatar-Love Is A Battlefield, Cutting Crew-(I Just) Died In Your Arms, Missing Persons-Words and many many more!

Sony Music's three-disc Essential: The 80s collection hits mostly high notes in its quest to chronicle pop music's most polarizing decade. Being a U.K. release, the compilation draws heavily on English radio hits like "Blue Hat for a Blue Day" (Nick Heyward), "Happy Birthday" (Altered Images), and "Boxerbeat" (Jo Boxers), but there are enough international hits from the likes of Toto ("Africa"), the Bangles ("Eternal Flame"), and Ray Parker, Jr. ("Ghostbusters") to fuel 100 nostalgic late-night dance parties worldwide. ~ James Christopher Monger

That side of things is nowhere documented in '80s Gold. However, there was such an... Less

As one of the most successful acts of the New Romantic scene of the early '80s, Spandau Ballet shot out of the gates with a string of singles that were huge hits in the U.K. and minor club footnotes in the States. Their first two albums, 1981's Journeys to Glory and 1982's Diamond swelled with funky rhythms and sophisticated, post-Roxy Music horn lines on singles like "To Cut a Long Story Short" or "Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure)." For Spandau Ballet, this sound was a short-lived contribution to the New Romantic movement, which saw the band mining similar territory as contemporaries like Duran Duran and Human League. Subsequent albums found the band working in a smoother white soul vein, including 1983's True, the title track of which was the group's largest world-wide hit... Less

Continuing Universal's series of 1980s compilations, PURE 80'S NUMBER 1'S, VOLUME 1 delivers exactly what the title promises. New Wave-era tunes by Top 40 acts such as Men at Work, Culture Club, Fine Young Cannibals, and Tears For Fears sit next to power ballads by the likes of Bad English and pure pop gems by chart mainstays such as Lionel Richie, the Police, and Tina Turner. A few comparatively forgotten tunes like the Burt Bacharach-penned Christopher Cross tune "Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do)" and Hall and Oates's "Kiss On My List" add appeal as well.

Following the positive critical and commercial reception of The Bristol Reggae Explosion (1978-1983), the Bristol Archives label followed up with a second volume, this one focusing on the early- to mid-'80s and including more extended mixes and dub versions. This volume is the result of pretty serious crate-digging and musical detective work on the part of label staff: Cool Runnings' "Robin Hoods of the Ghetto" was apparently originally released in a pressing of only 200 copies, for example, and Bunny Marrett's "Times Are Getting Harder" was hardly less scarce; Alfred McIntosh's spare and spacy "Wicked Dub" was never issued commercially at all. While there is nothing on this album that could fairly be categorized as filler, compared to the first volume there is more that will appeal... Less

Vincent Audio's CD-S7 hybrid CD player carries over the popular features of the German company's widely acclaimed CD-S6 MK, including a vacuum tube output stage for rich and glorious sound. And thanks to the adjustable output level, you can connect the CD-S7 directly to a power amplifier without the need for a separate preamp. For enhanced performance compared to the CD-S6, the S7 uses Burr-Brown PCM-1796 24-bit, 96 kHz DACs rather than the PCM-1732 found in the S6. And instead of the CD-S6's two-way design, the new S7 boasts a four channel balanced analog amplifier. Another big step up is the use of premium internal components, including WIMA capacitors, with M-CAP capacitors employed in the power circuit board. A masterpiece of sonic excellence, the CD-S7 offers a stunningly... Less

More Pure '80s delivers just that: a collection of some of the decade's definitive pop singles.

Includes liner notes by Dave RoyLiner Note Author: Dave Roy.Illustrator: Brad Hamann.This budget-line series is a guilty pleasure that ranges from soft rock (Juice Newton's "Angel of the Morning," Brenda Russell's "Piano in the Dark") to dance-club lite fare (Taylor Dayne's "Tell It to My Heart," Melissa Manchester's "You Should Hear How She Talks About You") to teen-idol hits (Tiffany's "All this Time," Debbie Gibson's "Shake Your Love"). Other notables include Tracy Ullman's "They Don't Know," Dionne Warwick's "Heartbreaker" and Carly Simon's "Coming Around Again." Like the rest of this series, the disc has nonexistent liner notes and banal cover art that has nothing to do with the music on the CD. ~ Gina Boldman

Liner Note Author: Gail Mitchell. Representative of the transition between late-1970s funk and the smooth R&B that came to dominate '80s pop radio, Frankie Beverly's Maze is rightfully recognized as an important band in the genre. This 2004 compilation brings together 18 of Maze's finest moments, ranging from 1979's bass-popping jam "Workin' Together" to the silky, Quiet Storm vibe of 1993's "The Morning After." In between is more than a decade's worth of accessible soul, including lock-step funk ("Running Away"), slow-pulse love balladry ("Never Let You Down"), and lounge-ready mid-tempo grooves ("We Are One").Leader, songwriter, and singer Frankie Beverly is the focus here, and his smooth-as-butter croon, complete with emotive R&B embellishments, shines throughout. Though influenced by... Less

Personnel: Jeff Lescher (vocals, guitar); Jim Diamond (vocals, bass guitar); John Valley (drums, percussion). Liner Note Authors: Phil King; Jeff Lescher. Photographer: Cindy Illig.In the mid-'80s, Chicago's music scene was dominated by muscular, hard-edged punk-inspired acts like Naked Raygun, Big Black, and the Effigies, and in this context Green stuck out like a sore thumb, as Jeff Lescher and his bandmates wrote smart, tuneful, and energetic pop tunes and played them with the appropriate degree of spunk communicated through simple, well-crafted arrangements. Listening to Green's first full-length album years after the fact, it often seems as if Green were pushing the aggressive factor of some of their songs in order to better fit in with their peers; the anger of "Hurt You" and the...
