4 out of 5 stars The only release from ZYX worth buying!.......2006-02-10

No matter how many "Best of Collections" released by ZYX, you are bound to get the same old mix & match crappy "b" side tracks on ALL their volumes.
Well, not with this selection, it's filled with hit singles by legends like: Squash Gang's "I Want An Illusion"; Jules' "You And Me" and surprisingly..."What My Heart Wanna Say" by Roger Meno...of course the list goes on! I have the double-vinyl LP album and this CD. Like the other reviewer had mention, the vinyls are original 12" maxi long versions, whereas most of the CD tracks here (no, they are not even radio versions...hence the "extended versions" are quite short) have been edited or cut short to fit into the disc. For example: take track no. 07 - "You And Me", a 6 minute song cut short to a miserable 2:57!
If you are an Italo Disco fanatic, this album is worth collecting, but I do highly recommend the double-vinyl if you can find a good piece of copy. It's the best Italo Disco compilation ever released by ZYX!

4**** for this CD, 5***** for the double-vinyl LP.

5 out of 5 stars The Best out of all 13 volumes!.......2000-07-02

Just to mention the few artists here - Jules "You and Me", Michael Bedford "More Than a Kiss", Eddy Huntington "USSR", Patty Ryan, JD Jaber, Mike Mareen, KB Caps... These are true masterpieces of Italo/Euro dance of the 80's. The only downside of this release is that all the songs are radio versions (vinyls contain MAXIs).

        4 out of 5 stars typical of italo disco, this c.d. is mediocre.......2007-03-09

        There are one or two good renditions on this cd. There is also a few songs which are discordant and somewhat painful to listen to.

        4 out of 5 stars GET THIS FOR VIVIAN VEE'S HEARTBEAT(before it's OOP).......2004-12-28

        This CD is the only place (that I know of) that you will find a NON-MIXED version of Vivian Vee's hit "Heartbeat (1,2,3)". Good quality sound from the great ZYX label. Den Harrow's "Don't Break My Heart", Albert One's "Hopes & Dreams" (better quality than his "Best Of" CD) and Vivian Vee's song are worth the price of this CD alone. Unfortunately, like most of the 80's Hi-NRG/Italo-Disco compilations, once they sell out they are no longer in production/OOP, so get it while you can.

        4 out of 5 stars Great Italo Disco, but cropped versions.......2004-08-03

        These are really great, classic Italo Disco songs, too bad there are too many short, cropped versions (the original vinyl album had the 12 inch mixes of every song). It would have been great to have the original long versions on CD too. Well, it's still very good music, if you're a fan of this particular genre.

        3 out of 5 stars cropped track editions, two false tracks.......2006-10-25

        The original 12" vinyl Vol. 8 is one of the successful "The Best of Italo Disco" compilations by ZYX. This CD is a digital replica that has two major flaws:

        1) like with the other volumes CD versions, the tracks on this one are shortened editions as compared to the vinyl - see the track timings below as my computer reads them from the CD

        2) !!!! two tracks are indicated incorrectly on the CD case, and even on the CD itself! Well, the CD lists the titles that are supposed to be on the compilation (the way the original Vol. 8 appeared), but instead you get different songs, even though by the same artist. While I can tolerate the first flaw to a certain extent, this lie is much more disappointing.

        Here's the list with actual track titles [and in the brackets what the CD is trying to convince you they are] and timings:

        01. Solo - Harem 3:40
        02. Linda Jo Rizzo - Just One World [indicated and should be Heartflash (Tonight)] 3:37
        03. Silver Pozzoli - Pretty Baby 3:57
        04. Mike Mareen - Agent Of Liberty 4:17
        05. Albert One - For Your Love 3:31
        06. The Nasti Boys - I Was Made For Loving You 3:37
        07. T. Ark - Count On Me 3:42
        08. Koto - Jabdah 3:38
        09. Cleo - Go Go Dynamo 3:43
        10. Swan - General Custer 4:15
        11. Attack - Can't Stop 4:35
        12. Joe Yellow - Love At First 3:27
        13. Laserdance - Power Run 4:13
        14. Kinky Go - Gimme The Love [indicated and should be I'm A Winner] 3:51
        15. Scotch - Money Runner 4:05
        16. P4F - Diamond 3:59

        So, the two flaws ripped off two stars from the rating. Apart from the flaws, it's almost the same good old The Best Of Italo Disco Vol. 8!
