So80s 10 by Blank & Jones

[Bellenger1981]

This compilation is worth it strictly for Secession - The Magician (Pecky Plus Mix)...IF it is from the original master tape!

Blank & Jones claim that all tracks are from masters (no vinyl transfers). We'll see!

[Sean]

The Fiat Lux track alone already makes it worth it.

[Neil Kelly]

As if Blank & Jones would lie.

here is a good interview about the compilation, and the issues they have in licensing tracks:

why people around this forum seem to think companies will make every track available for compilations is
puzzling to me.

of course you're going to see the same songs over and over, because most labels and artist WILL NOT ALLOW their
tracks to be put on compilations.

What is more puzzling is why people are stupid enough to keep buying compilations with the same mixes repeated a hundred times

not really.

i will buy compilations, if they have 1 or 2 rare tracks that i want, even if i don't care about the other 20 or whatever.

it just depends on the cost (because a lot of old and used compilations are cheap.

that is why i keep buying compilations.

So one day I might wake up and logon to my laptop and see this Blank and Jones S0 80's 11 all digital remasters and not from vinyl

Space Monkey Come with Me ( extended)
The associates those first impressions ( extended)
This island Earth See that Glow ( extended)
Robert Marlow Face of Dorian Gray ( extended)
The fall out club Wonderlust ( extended)
Bourgie Bourgie Breaking point ( extended )
Secession Michael ( extended)
Fiat Lux Blue Emotion ( extended)
This island Earth Take me to the fire ( extended)
B-Movie Remembrance day ( some bizzare version)
Robert Marlow No heart ( extended)
Fantasy Ten the big bang ( extended)
China Crisis Tragedy and Mystery ( extended)
Fra Lippo Lippi Come Summer ( extended)
Secession Touch Part 3
Vision Lucifers Friend ( extended)
Yazoo Get Set
Shock Angel Face ( extended)

I like it that you're including 'This Island Earth' on your dream compilation.

I'd also like to suggest a few 'long lost' synth pop classic tracks for forthcoming compilations, all of which I haven't seen on cd so far.
These are my favourites which I'd like to see on cd:

Person To Person - High Time (Nigh Time Mix)
Reflexx - Viel Zu Viel (Club Mix)
Zak - Let's Trade
Novo - Extremix
This Island Earth - See That Glow (Special U.S. Remix)
Wang Chung - Don't Let Go (Special Version)
Wang Chung - Wait (Remix)
Endgames - Love Cares (Extended Version)
Endgames - Desire (Extended Version)
Malcolm McLaren - Duck Rock Cheer
F-A-N - Das Phänomen (Der Revier Mix)

Both the 'Endgames' and 'Person To Person' debut albums also failed to get a cd release so far, I had already suggested to Cherry Red once yet I guess there'd be not enough commercial interest...

Also the brilliant single of the short lived Ricky Gervais project 'Seona Dancing' has only appeared on a rare Philippine cd so far: Bitter Heart (Extended) - a true gem!

I still have both the original 12 Inch Vinyle Singles by Seona Dancing, "More To Lose" is brilliant, "Bitter Heart" also good. I wonder if the 12 inch vinyl are collectable and worth anything owing to Ricky Gervais being part of the band??

[WLR]

Seems the Vinyl goes for around £30 to £50 each according to Discogs website

you can buy a box for the set of 10 releases,

with or without all the CD's in them:

I think they should make them available.
For the right price I imagine almost anything is available.

of course you're going to see the same songs over and over, because most labels and artist WILL NOT ALLOW their
tracks to be put on compilations.

I would say many instead of most but it's true either way.
I'm still waiting for a satisfactory explanation as to why this is.

These bands are nothing more than nostalgia.
Bands that haven't had a hit since the '80s (if they even had a hit).
Their catalogs aren't going to be worth any more by waiting longer.
I guess the artists / labels don't mind if the music fades into further obscurity.

Additionally, producers probably feel the comps have to have a certain amount of artists / tracks that are more familiar to the masses.
Maybe easier and less expensive to license as well.

Well, it sounds like "The Magician [Pecky Plus Mix]" is from vinyl. Listen to the hiss in the beginning and at the end. Regardless, it's an excellent transfer.

It sounds like the same source as what is on Classic Alternatives 3 except it is remastered with more compression. Both have that noticeable noise at the beginning like it was ripped from vinyl, but I'm starting to think maybe the master tape for this mix is just noisy. I always thought the C.A. version was taken from vinyl but maybe it is just hissy master tape? The thing is on the album mix from A Dark Enchantment there is no such noise. Who knows.

Interesting!

Volume 10, I think, is the worst of the bunch. No interesting tracklist, some weird sounding audio (which may or may not be taken from vinyl). I'll skip this one.
