The early 80's is now a quarter of a century ago! Whilst there have been many 80's compilations we feel now is a good time to release an `edgier', cooler tracklisting highlighting some of the artists and tracks that may not be as familiar, but still defined the times. Many of these tracks have only previously been available on vinyl. "Great mix of eighties music that goes that little bit deeper then the usual eighties collection. A mix of classic eighties and the obscure. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to relive that eighties feeling".

Four CDs. Packed with 50 extended mixes of 1980s singles, this collection opens with New Order's 'Blue Monday', acknowledged as the best-selling 12" single of all time in the UK. The first CD also contains original twelve inch versions of hits by Duran Duran, Talk Talk, Spandau Ballet, a-ha and Howard Jones amongst many others. The second disc digs deep into pure pop and once The Tabloid Mix of Mel & Kim's 'Respectable' opens proceedings, extended versions of smashes from Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Bucks Fizz and Nu Shooz keep the energy level high. CD three goes long with Simply Red, Alison Moyet and Tina Turner before taking in rarer 12" gems from Hollywood Beyond, Blue Zoo and Re-Flex which have been hard to find on CD. The closing disc focuses on soul and dance music, opened by Chaka Khan and Sister Sledge before delving into the work of remix legend Shep Pettibone for a run of his 12" mixes, wrapping up with 'White Lines (Don't Do It)' by Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel.

We are proud to present ’THE BEST ELECTRONIC ALBUM IN THE WORLD… EVER!’ which over 60 tracks includes some of the most influential songs ever recorded. The emergence of the synth pop and dance music exploded in the late 70’s. Dancefloors were changed forever in 1977 when the pulsating and hypnotic ‘I Feel Love’ by Donna Summer showed the way forward, the track is included here alongside synth-driven dance cuts from Lipps Inc and Tom Tom Club and late 70s synth-pop classics from The Buggles and Blondie.
