Very bizarre. What's strange about Spandau and Dollar? CD 3 is mostly random album tracks.

80s movies? What movies featured Kids In America?

Yuck

Clueless, but it was a cover version rather than Kim Wilde. An easy mistake for Rhino to make. NOT.

Bizzarely it *doesn't* feature in the actual movie called Kids In America.

Almost Birdhouse In Your Soul, a great song, was released in 1990!

To be clear though, I like the idea of this in principle. We all moan about the same old tracks being recycled (Blue Monday etc) so for a compilation to feature mostly album tracks from minor artists is very brave. I just wish more thought was put into the selection. I haven't heard of some of the tracks here and I consider myself a big New Wave fan. Who knows maybe I will like it.

There is a third set due in October - Smash Hits 80s Mixtape. One would think if you bought all 3 it would make a nice collection but no, several tracks are REPEATED here. Rhino get a grip.

Why even post this? This is total garbage, not interesting or rare, and banal beyond belief. The reissues forum is a deadzone and this just makes it worse. But at least Fleetwood Mac is included.

I quiet like the movie one.
