Comments:
        This was an Amnesty International concert of the eighties, and
while it's not a Cd that's marketed as a compilation of eighties music,
it still managed to grab the best and brightest of the eighties live
in concert.  If you like Duran Duran at all, then this disc is a MUST GRAB
for the best live version of "Save a Prayer" ever recorded for a legal
recording.  The Kate Bush and David Gilmour version of "Running Up That
Hill" is also a great version.  The rest of the disc is a lot of fun as
well, with a great version of Peter Gabriel's "Biko" as well.

Comments:
        Great disc, I'm really happy with this label's compilations so far,
unlike an old K-tel compilation, all of these songs fit well together (even
the songs I haven't heard before).  There's decent linear notes with it,
which is nice for the bands you haven't heard before of barely remember.
There's even a few remixes thrown in here (Lies, Party At Ground Zero), 99
Luftballons is the english remix, (not the German) which I really wanted
(even though I still perfer the German version).

Comments:
        This disc is overpriced as far as compilations go, but is still
worth the price.  This is a party album plain and simple, all these songs
were hige hits at one time in some fashion.  This is also one of the few
discs around that spanned more than a couple of years in the early half
of the eighties.  Yes, music does exist after 1985.  A small portion of
each disc pulls from the later half of the decade and it is by no means
chronological, which is for the best really.

Good arrangement of songs, but once again, too many songs that are
available on most every other collection out there. Good to find 'The
Safety Dance', 'Brand New Lover' and 'Sister Christian' at high quality
recording though.

For a collection that's only about a year old, it's got nothing I didn't

Comments:
        This disc has a great arrangement of songs and also features remixes
of most of the songs which is nice (if you already have some of them on other
compilations). The remix of ABC's "Look Of Love" is pretty hideous, so if you
really like the radio mix, I wouldn't be buying this disc for this song in
particular.  However, if you like a good party disc, this would be a good
cheap disc to pick up.
