wonderful.......2007-01-19
I like the 80's music. I had one of these same cds but something happened and it wouldn't work anymore. I was happy to see that you had it. Very happy. I am very satisfied - I love listening to it. Thanks!
Another GREAT CD.......2007-01-12
I LOVE 80's music, this is another excellent cd and you will not be sorry for buying it.
Pure 80's.......2007-01-10
This cd has 20 terrific songs from the 80's. Some from 1 hit wonders so it was fantastic to get them on one cd rather than having to buy multiple cds. Also, great to have a cd where I like all 20 songs.
A great 80s CD.......2006-07-12
i am a huge fan of 80s pop and rock and i think that anyone who loves 80s music would love this.
pure 80s series is hit after hit after hit.......2006-01-15
its hard to have a personal favorite song. i would have preferred a DVD of matching vidios.

Customer Reviews:
80's nostalgia.......2007-06-11
Remember the 1980's, when all we had to worry about was nuclear war instead of rampant terrorism? Well, for those like me who grew up during that decade, this CD is an overflow of nostalgia. It contains some of the best songs of the 80's.
Songs like WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN (the Bangles), WALKING ON SUNSHINE (Katrina and the Waves), HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH (Belinda Carlisle) and I KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON (Frida) are almost pure nostalgia straight-from-the-bottle.
For me, the 2 best songs are MANEATER (Hall & Oates) and HANDS TO HEAVEN (Breathe). MANEATER is the best song Hall & Oates ever wrote, and it also describes quite a few sadistic women I've met in my life. HANDS TO HEAVEN takes me back to the first time I heard it. It was in boot camp & was the first time they allowed us to listen to the radio. For a few brief moments I was able to in my mind get away from the United States Navy!
I've never cared for Huey Lewis & The News, but POWER OF LOVE is their best song & the song they're most known for. I like Pat Benatar, but never thought LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD was one of her best songs. I would have much preferred SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT, but that's just my opinion.
The biggest gaffe on the album in my mind is Falco's ROCK ME AMADEUS. I never cared for it, even though I'm a big fan of classical music (including Mozart!). Never seemed there was much substance to it, and it's little wonder that Falco was basically a 1-hit wonder.
All-in-all, however, the majority of the songs on this album fit nicely for everyone who went to High School during the 80s. If you graduated from HS in 1980-something, give this CD a try!
AWSOME 80's MUSIC.......2007-05-12
If you like 80's music, then this is one cd you must have in your collection. The selection is good and the flow of the music is just right. As you listen to it it will bring back memories of those special moments back in high school.
Awesome 80's.......2007-05-07
This is a mix of some awesome 80's music. You will love it!
More Pure 80's.......2007-04-15
A good mix of great 80's songs. Since most bands from the 80's were one hit wonders (or really close to that), you get the music you love without all the extra "filler" songs you don't want.
Rock Me Amadeus.......2007-03-19
This is a nice compilation of the 80's, it's only essential for collectors like me because it contains 3 rare track versions.
The first one is the 4 munites and 4 seconds edit of "I Know There's Something Going On" which is now only available on Frida's album "Something's Going On" as bonus track.
The second song is Tears For Fears "Shout" that clocks at 4 minutes and 6 seconds which again is only available on the latest DELUXE re-issue of "Songs From The Big Chair".
The third and last song is Falco's rare "Canadian Version" (4 minutes and 8 seconds) which is an edit to the 8 minutes and 21 seconds of "Salieri Version" that was released on the US version CD of "Falco 3" by A&M records in 1985. However, I noticed many of you are trying to locate this song without paying big $$$ for the long deleted Falco 3 CD and you can only find it on 2 CDs, one of them is Falco 'Hit Singles' released by Warner in 1998 again now it's out-of-print (try Amazon Germany for a cheaper second hand) and the other one titled "I love Techno Pop vol.2" which is still in print only in Spain and by the way an awesome compilation of 12inch hits, you can find it and buy it at Blanco Y Negro official website.
Anyway, a must for hardcore fan of the 80's.

God bless punk and new wave. Without them, '80s pop music might well have ended up as vapid and ghettoized as, well, pop music of the '90s. Those late '70s movements were frankly reactionary at heart (seeking to counter what was perceived as the overwrought tendencies of rock's prog and hard-rock elite and calling for a return to the diverse energy of '60s Top 40), but their influences can be felt on nearly every cut of this triple-disc hits anthology, from the Buggles' all-too-prophetic "Video Killed the Radio Star" to the nouveau funk of Kool and the Gang, the Dazz Band, and the Gap Band, to the nascent big-hairdom of Night Ranger ("Sister Christian") and Whitesnake. If you're looking for the roots of alternative rock or obscure college playlist fodder, look elsewhere; this is prime-time '80s pop chart glory, as seen on MTV (over and over and over). Though the songs here cover a breadth of style and genre (if not necessarily substance), there's a remarkable unity of purpose and hook-laden musical accomplishment that's sorely missed. If this collection woefully shortchanges hip-hop, it still underscores a distinctly irony-free era where style admittedly triumphed over substance, as opposed to the '90s, where style caricatured substance. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
I love the 80s!.......2007-01-15
This boxed set has all of your favorites from the 80s. I bought it for my sister for Christmas and we listened to it over and over again on New Year's Eve and beyond. Every song brought back a memory from the "old days" and made us smile. What a great way to start the new year!
Gotta Have My 80's.......2007-01-12
GREAT CD, a must have if you are into the 80's music.
This album has a bunch of good songs, but a few sucky ones.......2005-11-05
I luuuuv some of these songs, but some of them suck. hoever, if u like these songs u should totally get it!
essential.......2005-09-16
I mix 80s dance music and the number of times when mixing that I find myself reaching for either this compilation or its companion, "Hit Me With Your 80s Box," is extraordinary. These are two outstanding collections. They are pricey, but worth every penny. For many people, owning these two will be all the 80s music you'll ever need.
Fidelity is outstanding, the tracks are well organized more or less chronologically, and the sequences in which tracks are placed is excellent. The "box" itself in which the 3 CDs come is sturdy, it is easily folded out in part or in whole to access any of the CDs quickly and easily (unlike many multi-CD offerings). Liner notes are extensive and interesting.
This offering is a class act all the way. Highly, highly recommended. 7 stars.
LOVE 80s music.......2005-08-02
I am such an 80s child. This box set is great. Has a lot of the great songs of the 80s.

Love This CD.......2007-01-12
I am in my late 30's and grew up listening to these songs. Love them, a must have for all you who grew up listening to the songs. Reminds me of special times.
Second rate commercial pap will always suck........2006-01-09
It doesn't matter when or where the music comes from, if its characterised by dull chord progressions, hackneyed lyrics and lousy production it will never stand the test of time. The songs in this compilation will NEVER NEVER make the grade. I grew up in the eighties, and this collection of truly awful radio hits is testimony to the conservatism that characterised programming at this time. Images of overweight realtors and shopping mall managers twisting and frooging to this dreck at their local beer barn permeate my tortured consciousness. Thank God Nirvana and other bands with integrity came along and changed all that.
80s hits .......2005-12-31
ill probably still be listening to 80s hits when im 80 yrs old. this decade generated some of the greatest songs of all time.
Excellent collection of some overlooked '80s hits.......2005-04-11
I've had this CD for 4 years and still love it! I like the green packaging, for neon colors were so common in the '80s. There are some songs here that were hits, but surprisingly overlooked or only peaked in the teens, 20s or 30s of the pop charts. There are some others that did go top 10 or No. 1. I still love Lessons In Love by Level 42, a song I liked in the summer of 1987 and still do today. I still like Johnny Hates Jazz's wonderful Shattered Dreams. Duran Duran's Notorious and The Power Station's Some Like it Hot add some funk to this album. But one '80s song on here was one I got to hear for the very first time--The Plimsouls' A Million Miles Away from 1983. It sounds quite good and original for them. The ones by Rick Springfield, Glass Tiger, Asia and others are still superb on here. One rare surprise is the kicking opener of Simple Minds' Don't You Forget About Me and its extended version of 6:32. They extended some sections of the intros, bridges and other parts to the original song to make it longer. This album smartly acknowledges some of the most underrated songs and hits of the '80s and does it well for 77 minutes!
Only In The Movie...NOW on CD!.......2005-02-08
What was once only available on a 12" vinyl single and the "actual" soundstrip...not soundtrack...of the film, "The Breakfast Club", "Pure 80's Hits" now boasts the FULL version of Simple Minds, "Don't You Forget About Me"! Yes indeed...after all these years! To the "average" household listener of 80's music, he or she may not even tell the slightest bit of difference...and not even care...but to true collectors of that decade's gems, this CD has that "hard-to-find" full-length version of that Simple Minds signature song. Listen! The first 15 seconds is VASTLY different than the cut-up version that gets played on all those homogenized-sounding, 80's flash-back radio programs...not to mention, the "extra" verse in the middle of the song, with a complete set of alternate lyrics! So for this...and this reason only...I give the CD FIVE big stars!

Few could challenge John Hughes in 1980s teen coming-of-age flicks. This brat-pack extravaganza boasts the anthemic "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds, a hit so large it vaulted them into the collective consciousness. The rest of it is more disposable. Elizabeth Daily (aka E.G.) was a kindred spirit of Pia Zadora in that people kept trying to make her famous, although in retrospect it's hard to figure out why. The Karla DeVito track "We Are Not Alone" still wears well, although it may be because it's synonymous with some great imagery from the movie. Producer Keith Forsey went on to work with Billy Idol and Charlie Sexton with mixed results. --Scott Wilson
Customer Reviews:
Beginning of a fistful of young stars-to-be.......2007-05-13
First movie for many of them, excellent soundtrack to go by!!!
Breakfast Club Soundtrack.......2007-05-08
This is a great CD it has some great songs on it!
Excellent soundtrack for an excellent movie!!.......2007-04-10
This soundtrack album to the 1985 movie The Breakfast Club is excellent! I am not the kind of person to only like the main song from the movie, Simple Minds' Don't You (Forget About Me), and think that the remaining nine songs are not worth listening to. There are a few other songs that I like: "Waiting" is great, "Fire in the Twilight" is excellent, too, "Heart Too Hot To Hold" is great, the "Dream Montage" is quite dreamy and melodic, "We Are Not Alone" is a real dance rocker, and the "Love Theme" is also great, too. For those of you folks who think that the Simple Minds song on this album is the only song worth listening to, you're missing out. Stop complaining! Get to know the other songs on the album, you obviously won't regret it.
Memories.......2007-03-16
I Loved the movie and the sound track from the day I saw it!! Everyone has to see part of themselves in at least 1-2 characters in the movie. The songs just stick in your head and play over and over...."Sitting on ice while the clock is watching losing face" what better description of high school detention is there?
Great 80's snapshot - and good music too!.......2006-05-19
Hey, whats all this shouting about the Breakfast Club soundtrack being only worth buying for the Simple Minds track? Some people are so narrow minded...!
I love all the tracks on here. This is a great album for anyone who still loves the music of the 80's, and you don't even have to be a fan of the film to appreciate it. Full of big, urgent sounding songs with lots of crashing syn-drums and percussion...Just the ticket! The Simple Minds track "Don't You Forget About Me" was of course a huge hit, but this group have a substantial following and plenty of their own Cds, so fans of that track can investigate those if they want more of the same.
I'd happily give just as much attention to EG Daily (great voice), Wang Chung (hearing this made me check out the "To Live And Die In LA" soundtrack as well) and Karla DeVito, who also contribute stirling numbers. The specially written instrumental theme tunes are also pretty good. But the stand out track in my opinion is "Heart Too Hot to Hold", which ran alongside the closing credits in the film, a fantastic barn-stormer with typical emotionally over-wrought lyrics. In fact nearly all the tracks have the vocals belted out at top volume, such much so that Karla DeVito and Joyce Kennedy (the singer on "Didn't I Tell You") must have passed out after the recording session was over....they don't make 'em like this any more!
So if you can forget the awful fashions and brat-pack egos of the movie, you can still enjoy this CD.

Good 80's CD.......2007-04-13
I grew up in the 1980's and this cd takes me back to simpler time. I listen to this cd when getting ready for work and dance across the room. I was really happy and surprised to find my favorite dance song, Together Forever on it. I recommend this cd to anyone who wants to put a beat to their step and also remembers the 80's
Great 80's Dance.......2007-01-28
I love this CD! It has a lot of my old favorites. I think it's a worthy purchase.
Dancing in the 80's.......2006-03-11
Pure 80's Dance is a very good CD. I think this music set the stage for future dance music. I would highly recommend this CD.
Great flashback of 80's Dance music.......2006-03-05
Except for a few songs, it was a good mix of 80's Dance songs. I actually needed only a couple of songs from this album for my personal 80's Collection CD's but I didn't mind the rest of them. They just brought back the memories. The best part of purchasing music from AMAZON.com (besides the FREE S&H!!!)is the fact that you can sample the songs so you have some ideas of what you are getting. The PRICE(AMAZON.COM) is very comparable to other websites and besides, you CANNOT beat the FREE shipping.
pure disappointment.......2006-01-05
more than half of the selections here are garbage.

80's classics.......2007-06-15
You can either download a pile of titles from 80's progressive rock from the internet or you can just buy this disc and get a lot of fun classics from this era. It's got a lot of the titles you want.
Rhino Stumbles.......2006-05-05
I really expected more. Rhino, the author of the Stiff Records and 'Left of the Dial' box sets and the 'Just Can't Get Enough' series assembled this tired set of eighties new wave? Wow.
A third of this CD has been anthologized to death. Toni Basil? Men Without Hats? A-Ha? Modern English? Thomas Dolby? Dexy's Midnight Runners? Again??? Where's Nena and "99 Luftballoons"?
I could name six more interesting choices in my sleep: Pete Shelley. Freur. Lene Lovich. Heaven 17. Fun Boy Three. Blancmange.
Gary Numan, Haircut 100 and Frank & Moon Zappa lend a breath of fresh air, and Rhino does their usual stellar job of remastering, but it's not enough.
This is for the person who: A. is an extremely casual music fan (i.e. buys a CD about every other year), or B. is too young to have been around when these songs were all over the airwaves.
Otherwise, you likely have the better stuff on this CD elsewhere, and who needs to hear "Mickey" ever again? (And I mean EVER again.) If you fit one of the two profiles listed above, you'll be completely content. If you don't--save your money.
Rhino Remastering Makes These Hits Sound AMAZING!.......2004-02-11
Thumbs up to Rhino Records for actually putting out good music on their compilations! I'm not just referring to the music included but also the sound quality. I was blown away when I stumbled upon another "Millennium" release by Rhino. The sound quality is amazing. So I was inspired to buy 3 (!) more of their "Millennium" compilations. According to their website, they look for the best available original master tapes and use the best state-of-the-art equipment for remastering these songs, referring to the "remastered in rhinophonic authentic sound" logos on the releases. Most labels don't even remaster the material! I'm really big on sound quality and I've never heard any of these songs on this collection (or any of their other "Millennium" releases) sound so crisp, bright, and clear! Take for example, "Sweet Dreams" or "Whip It," recorded in 1983 and 1980, respectively. The bass stands out like any song released today. A must-have just for the quality!
Besides the sound quality, the tracklisting is one of the best I've seen for an 80's collection (despite not all songs being "New Wave"). Another plus is the liner notes with the Billboard Hot 100 chart peaks and year of release.
If you say so........2003-06-25
Just because this music was released during the New Wave era, doesn't mean it's new wave music. Maybe the Eurythmics, Madness, The Thompson Twins, and some of the bands with one hit wonders such as Thomas Dolby or Modern English could be considered New Wave; but Tony Basil? Wang Chung? Bow Wow Wow?! that's like saying all nazis were germans and all germans are nazis. Which isn't true. Not all 80's music is new wave! and those cheerleader pop songs are not new wave. It's like saying that Britney Spears' rendition of "I love Rock and Roll" is Rock and Roll music. New wave music has a meaning behind it. A lot of times it relates to what's going on in the world around (NOT U2!). Not, "oh mickey you're so fine," but, "people are people, so why should it be, you and I should get along so awfully?" Maybe you can sneak some punk in there: The Clash, any one that really told it how it was. But don't insult New Wave!!! Bring on the Depeche Mode (the early years-before '86, after Alan Wilder first began before they went Synth-Pop when they really had something to say), bring on the tears for fears, and even some of the Talk Talk!
Fabulous Collection of 80s music!.......2003-06-07
I just got this CD from the library yesterday. And it's great. It has just about all my favorite songs. I think "I Ran" is the most popular song out of all of the songs. And the sound quality is great. It's like your right there in the studio. If you love 80s music, you've got to have this collection.

Released in 1992 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, this two-disc set still stands as the ultimate Bond music collection. Disc one includes all of the hit songs from the Bond films, including Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger," Tom Jones's "Thunderball," Paul McCartney & Wings' "Live & Let Die" and Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only." Disc two includes Louis Armstrong's lovely "We Have All the Time in the World," as well as a nice collection of rarities (Anthony Newley's demo of "Goldfinger"), lesser-known orchestral cuts from Goldfinger and Thunderball, and radio ads for You Only Live Twice, Thunderball, and Live & Let Die. The perfect accompaniment for a martini built for two. Shaken not stirred, of course! --Dan Epstein

007 forever and ever.......2007-05-13
whether played by Sean CONNERY, Roger MOORE, George LAZENBY, Timothy DALTON, Pierce BROSNAN, Daniel CRAIG, or even by David NIVEN in the sixsties comedy 007 CASINO' ROYALE (1967), James BOND is the greatest spy ever!!! So it's his music!!!!
The Best of James Bond 30th Anniversary.......2007-02-11
Wonderful music, an enjoyment for any James Bond fan.
Good effort..........2007-02-09
The 1st cd is the most enjoyable (vocal track's)...the 2nd start's out listenable and then seem's to bog down with very repetative formula's.
A CD No James Bond Fan Should Be Without........2007-01-13
As someone who has been a huge James Bond since before he could walk, you can bet I love every aspect of the films, including the music. Many of the theme songs to the films are classics, while the ones that have slipped under the radar remain awesome underrated numbers.
In 1992, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of 1962's "Dr. No", the 2 cd "The Best Of James Bond" was released. Itr included all the theme songs for the movies from 1962's "Dr. No" up to 1989's "License To Kill", as well as a second disc of rarities.
This is an excellent compilation that all 007 fans must have in their collection. You get all the classic Bond themes, such as Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger", Paul McCartney & Wings' "Live And Let Die", Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better", Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only", and Duran Duran'a "A View To A Kill", as well as some lesser heard but equally great songs, such as Nancy Sinatra's luscious theme for "You Only Live Twice", Bassey's sexy rendering of "Diamonds Are Forever" and her mysterious, sweet "Moonraker", Lulu's thrilling "The Man With The Golden Gun", Rita Coolidge's glorious "All Time High", and a-ha's excellent "The Living Daylights". There are a few rough spots (Tom Jones' over the top "Thunderball" and Gladys Knight's awful "License To Kill"), but other than that, it's a nearly flawless compilation.
The second disc is a great treat for hardcore Bond fans. For starters, you get several radio spots for "You Only Live Twice", "Thunderball" and "Live And Let Die", some great instrumental scores, two different recordings of the scrapped "Thunderball" theme song "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (sung by Dionne Warwick and Shirley Bassey, respectively), Anthony Newley's boring but coll to have early demo of "Goldfinger", and best of all, Louis Armstrong's absolutely beautiful "We Have All The Time In The World", one of the loveliest songs in music.
It's true that there were Bond films made after 1992 (five to be exact). But as far as their theme songs go, only Tina Turner's theme for "Goldeneye" and Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" (from the recent "Casino Royale"), are worth having. My advice is to get this excellent two cd and download the 2 later numnbers. Then, you will truly have all the best of James Bond.
If you like the movies, you'll like the music.......2006-08-27
Bought this as a gift for my son who loves James Bond & has all the DVD's. He loved it.

Customer Reviews:
U have to own one if you were a teenager in 1984.......2001-12-10
This was during Xmas 1984. One lovely girl from Texas brought to Poland (this is where I live) the 10 cassetes pack with "The Best of Billboard - 1984". I still hear this music. Now I can buy a piece of it.
To anyone who was ...teen in 1984: you have to own this one. Don't tell me there is no music you remember from these years. It must be one at least. Remember the first girlfriend. The first kiss maybe? Yes! That's it!.
I want my MTV!.......2000-06-17
This set takes me back to the early days of MTV. Pac-Man fever, Atari and great times in my life. As a child of the 80s it was a special time and special music. This box set helps take you back from time to time!
this is a great collection of the top songs.......1999-09-16
again billboard has done well in putting together a box set of the best songs of this time period. you will appreciate this gathering of the best. every listening minute of this box set is pure elation. not to be passed up.

Great tunes you'd remember if you where there!.......2007-01-17
Check out the details...if you like the songs, then there you go!
YOU MUST GET.......2007-01-12
This collection is terrific. During the 85-89 era, I was a teenager, and this brings back all the great memories.
Maybe This Will Help?.......2004-08-29
First off, I won't argue what's here because these songs are good enough to be in this collection. Now that I got that out of the way, here is the real problem: licencing. Madonna and company are not here for that reason alone. However, by looking at the song list, you may buy the songs you want but don't have. You can also buy each CD separately. There are other options then this to summerize.
Billboard top hits 1985-1989 box set.......2004-06-19
I was just going to buy this music box set when I suddenly remembered two great songs of 1985, which are: Born in the USA and Careless Whisper. Am I wrong? or weren't they hits? Where are they? I think they could have left out two other songs and included the ones I mentioned, because they were #1 hits. It just got me thinking that this box set is really not so great.
