Comments:
        You don't get much longer than this. This CD is better
than the previous one, but suffers from the same problem which
doomed the previous one: Poor song selection. There are only a
few bad songs on this one, in my opinion. "Head To Toe" is one
of those songs which you can't remember hearing, but once you
listen to it, you see why you forgot it in the first place.
"Freeway Of Love" is forgettable. "My Prerogative"...uh, no.
Songs 16, 17, 18, and 19 are just plain nauseating; 16 perhaps
more than the others. A long, painful slide from "Poison Arrow";
that's for sure.
        Put the White Lion song on at a party, and watch the
guests run for their cars.

From Greg:
JCI/Warner's first entry in the compilation category. Pulling from a good
sized library of eighties hits this one shows strong collectability. Strong
cuts include: Los Lobos "La Bamba", David Lee Roth "Calif. Girls", Escape
Club "Wild Wild West". Rating: 4.75
