Rating: - The Pick of the 80s
I can't believe the reviewer (Debbie) who says she didn't know most of these tracks! If she was there in the 1980s, she must have had ear plugs in and a paper bag over her head! This album is a great compilation at a bargain price - fantastic for listening to in the car, or quizzing your mates (who was that?), or demonstrating your vast knowledge of 1980s pop trivia. For the discerning listener, this series of albums prompts wider research into some of these artists - the excellent Blancmange, for example, and whatever happened to Kon Kan?
At less than £1 per disc, this is amazing value. For those who weren't there it provides a pretty good overview of what was happening in that decade.
Rating: - Disappointing
There were so many songs that I had never heard before. I thought I was going to know them all so it was very disappointing. I wonder how many were actually "hits"?
Rating: - Unbeatable Value 5 CD Box Set
100 Hit's - 80s contains all the original versions (except one excellent live version (Rabbit - Chas 'n' Dave)) with every song an 80's UK Hit. If you want a CD that gives you an overview of the 80's this 5 CD Box Set is it!!
Containing 8 number ones (Land Of Make Believe - Bucks Fizz, Down Under - Men At Work, Japanese Boy - Aneka, Perfect - Fairground Attraction, The Sun Always Shines On T.V. - A-Ha, Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) - Paul Young, 99 Red Balloons - Nena, La Bamba - Los Lobos), 7 songs that reached number two (Take On Me - A-Ha, Call Me - Spagna, When Will I Be Famous? - Bros, What Is Love - Howard Jones, Beat Dis - Bomb The Bass, Love And Pride - King, Abracadabra [Ext version] - The Steve Miller Band) and many more excellent songs from that excellent musical decade.
I am very glad that I have this CD in my collection.

Since the early 1970s, the GHS has recorded a steady increase in the ownership of consumer durables. Ownership of a refrigerator rose from 73% of households in 1972 to 95% in 1985.

The proportion of households with access to more recently introduced items (such as the dishwasher, tumble drier and microwave) continues to rise. Since their introduction to the survey, entertainment items have become much more widely available. Access to a television has always been highly prevalent (93% of households in 1972, rising to 99% in 2002).
