The Hits Album 80s

The Hollies have a recorded many songs and everyone has their own list of favourites whether it be single or album track. With this Double set, we've included all the hits plus the classics that audiences request at every Hollies concert.

This 23-song compilation was a choice European release when it first appeared as a double-LP from Polydor in 1983, partly because of the cool looking cover, but also for doing the welcome job of assembling together the A- and B-sides of all of the Jimi Hendrix singles released between January 1967 and 1983…

From the vaults of Sony Music and the Fable/Image catalogue comes a selection of the best singers of the 70s and 80s. Take a step back and enjoy these hard-to-get hits from the past – some rarely seen since the 70s. Twenty chart hits by such household names as John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John, Daryl Braithwaite, John Paul Young and Jon English, together with almost-forgotten hits by Matt Flinders, Allison Durbin, Linda George and Doug Ashdown –­ all collected on one CD for the first time.

Air Supply is known worldwide for swooning the ladies off their feet. This time, Hitchcock and Russell are taking the festive route, recording some of the most beloved holiday classics of all time. The production standards and performances are polished and no less than what you'd expect from the duo, but of course this will not appeal to some. It's an easily accessible and enjoyable album for both casual listeners and die-hard fans of the group's output.

Over the course of the 1980s, REO Speedwagon became one of the decade's leading power balladeers. However, these singles sapped the band's reputation as a rock & roll band. Although it may focus more on ballads such as "Time for Me to Fly," "Keep on Loving You," and "Can't Fight This Feeling," Hits does not completely overlook the band's rock anthems, taking care to also include such underrated rockers as "I Don't Want to Lose You," "Don't Let Him Go," and a live version of "Ridin the Storm Out," the band's first and best rock single from the 1970s. Though there is a rather large quantity of REO compilations, Hits remains the wisest investment for most listeners.

A good compilation of good early Hollies album and EP cuts. Sound quality on this CD is excellent. Mostly stereo versions of songs are used. The only exceptions are "Honey and Wine" and "Now's the Time" which may never have been on CD before this collection.

Picks on the Hits is the forty-third studio album by guitarist Chet Atkins, released in 1972. It was nominated for the 1972 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance but did not win. Chet's duet release with Jerry Reed Me & Chet was also nominated in the same category. The CD reissue by Pair Records adds eight additional tracks from Picks the Best and leaves off "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" and "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard".

The Queen Album is a solo cover album of the band Queen by Elaine Paige. It was released in 1988 and peaked at No. 51 in the UK in November 1988. This is the only album from Paige to be released on Siren Records and distributed by Virgin Records. The album was re-issued with different artwork on CD in 1990 on Virgin VIP by Virgin Records. This is the only Paige album compiled of songs written and recorded by one composer or group. The album is a covers album of ten songs previously recorded by the rock group Queen, a favourite of Paige. The selected songs are a combination of hits and lesser-known album tracks, taken from Queen's entire back catalogue.
