Some of the mixes are difficult to find on CD anywhere else, while others can be found on multiple releases. This is a Disky release, which usually means the quality of the recordings aren't so good. In this case, the mastering is quite good (much better than some of the schlock that's come out of "Classic Alternatives" lately).

If there are tracks you can't find anywhere else, I'd recommend purchasing this disc. Can't hardly beat the price for a 3-CD set!

80"s music LOVE IT!!
A 3 disc set with all the Top 50 hits in the 80's. What more can you ask for? Disc 1 has all the good songs that I can remember hearing on the radio waves. Disc 2 & 3 are good, but personally, Disc 1 is my favorite. For the price, 3 disc set is a bang for the buck. The mixes that are incorporated into each of the songs are good and not too repetitive.

Great for those looking to get a CD as gift for a friend that is stuck in the 80's or want to find a 80's collection of songs for his/her pleasure.
