Do any of you have any good compilation lps from the early 80's?

In the U.K. they were big at the time.
My favourite is one called Star Traks: it had the usual Sci fi/ soft porn picture of a woman on the cover and contains some great tunes:
Sparks, When I'm with you
Peter Gabriel, Games without Fronteirs
Martha and the Muffins , Echo Beach,
Blondie Atomic
New Music, Living By Numbers.
The Regents ( UK one hit wonders:fantastic track)

But it also contained Billy Ocean, Rupert Holmes etc
A great compilation which highlighted how good chart music was then.

I had mentioned these two comps awhile ago on a similar thread, not realizing the Max's Kansas City one was pretty well known around these parts:
