Eighties

Time Life was founded in 1961 as the book division of Time Inc.. It took its name from Time Inc.'s cornerstone magazines, Time and Life, but remained independent of both. During 1966, Time Life combined its book offerings with music collections (two to five records) and packaged them as a sturdy box set. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the selection of books, music and videos grew and was diversified into more genres. When record labels stopped producing vinyl albums in 1990, Time Life switched to CD only. In the mid-1990s, Time Life acquired Heartland Music, with the Heartland Music label now appearing as a brand. This company was subsequently sold off and is no longer attached to Time Life.

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".

Na jarenlang research komen Universal Music en BR Music met de Testament van de Eighties uit de langverwachte opvolger van de succesvolle Sixties en Seventies boxen. Het Testament van de Eighties is wederom een fraai vormgegeven box met 10 cd's, 5 dvd's en een boek.

As years go by, so the period of "nostalgia" likewise moves on in years. It was only natural that in the mid-1990s, Time- Life would offer a nostalgic retrospective on 1980s music.
