Summary: Excellent 80's tunes
Comment: The gem on this disc is obviously Ultravox's Vienna. While the others are very, very good and a few crappy tunes I can't even remember getting air time back in the day, the disc is an overall prize.

Summary: Cultural Gap?
Comment: After reading the first few reviews I thought it might be appropriate to respond. There are a large number of hits on this album, but a lot of them weren't US hits. If you lived in the UK, Europe or Australia - you will know and like a lot of these songs - even americans who got into the new wave scene in the late 70s and early 80s will know songs from clubs that never got radio play. I really enjoyed this album - and if you know a reasonable number of the songs - I am sure you will enjoy it - it's great at parties too!!

Summary: HAVE TO AGREE
Comment: I have to agree with the previous reviewer. When I started looking down the track listing, I realized I bought this for three cuts ("Love Will Tear Us Apart", "Vienna", and "Danger") probobly one of the weaker complations in the series.

Summary: A So-So Collection
Comment: Any fan of New Wave will likely already have the best of the tracks included on this collection. And what you don't have, you could find at a retail "Cut-Out" bin.Some of the transfer quality is questionable. You could probably obtain a better quality by taping your local radio station's "retro" 80s show. But as I mentioned, you probably already have "I Don't Like Monday's" floating around somewhere!
If you see this CD around cheaply, it's worth picking up (to, if nothing else, save you from having to acquire the better songs one by one). There are a couple of cool tunes which take you back, but all in all, the CD is a hit-or-miss collection.
