NOT to be confused with the US 'Just Can't Get Enough' Series!!! Thirty-two
great tracks from the eighties. Remember the 'Wham Rap'? My favorite all-time
group, Kraftwerk is included in this totally-awesome CD. A nice blend of pop
and wave songs make this CD great for parties. The booklet is crammed with
lots of pictures of staple 80's nostalgia such as: unisex dance shoes
(Fluevog's &Creepers), posing, badges, lip gloss, heavy gel, and fishnet
tanktops. There's even instructions for make-up which can transport you 'back
to the future' with a look that's right out of 1984. If you can locate this
CD, do not hesitate to pick it up.

COMMENTS:

The two discs in this set provide an excellent overview of pop music in
the '80's.  From technopop (Yazoo) to the new romantics (Spandau Ballet),
from one hit wonders (Living In A Box) to artists who are still putting
out hits today (U2), its all here.  It gets a special mention for using
more obscure songs from bands whose biggest hits already turn up on other
compilation discs.  For example, they feature Big Country's hard to find
Fields of Fire rather than In A Big Country.  I was especially glad to
find Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't It Be Good" and the song I feel is most
definitive of the sounds of the Eighties, Soft Cell's "Tainted Love", in
this set.  If these discs had featured 3 more songs (Howard Jones' "New
Song", The Psychedelic Furs' "Heaven" and The Smiths "How Soon Is Now"  I
would have rated it 5 out of 5, and declared it to be the best
compilation album yet.

Comments:
Not truly an 80's compilation since it contains two songs
from 1990 on it, but close enough for government work.  It contains one
redeeming song, the remake of "Pictures of Matchstick Men" but otherwise
a basically boring compilation of the most bland "alternative" releases
of the end of the eighties.  If you like the Camper Van Beethoven song,
it's the only compilation I know of currently with it, I'd buy their album
instead, since the artists will see more money, and the other losers
on this disc don't deserve squat.

Comments:
        The opening paragraph of the liner notes mentions that it was the
author's intent to find the most politically backward tunes for this
compilation.  He succeeded.  "Kinko the Clown," a Dr. Demento staple of the
eighties opens the disc, and closes the disc with the follow up sequel.  Only
the eighties could give us a song about a pedophile clown, and then he
follows it up with tunes like "Teenage Enema Nurses in Bondage", "Dwarf
Tossing", "Harley David (Son of A Bitch)", and other songs I'd never play in
front of my pastor.  In other words, a great disc.  I was a little
disappointed "Gidget Goes to Hell" didn't make the cut, especially since
"Buffy Come Back" is on here, it would seem to be a perfect match.  This is
of course more of a novelty album than a dance album, but all this music saw
airplay on the radio stations (in addition to Dr. Demento) and it's pretty
K001 to own, glad I bought it.

Comments:
        This is one of the longest single record compilations I've ever
bought. This particular CD is part of a set which spans four decades. The
only word that comes to mind as I listen to it is "weak". We have good,
decent songs like "Harden my Heart", and "I Can Dream About You" (one of
my favorites) intertwined with pure crap like "Celebration", one of the
songs that gives the Eighties a bad name, and the Hall and Oates. JCI
apparently wanted to make an album covering all the bases (R & B, Pop,
Dance, Rock, New Wave, et. al.); and ended up with seventy-five minutes
of mediocrity.

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

Very rarely do I find a compilation that I consider a "must buy" This is
JCI/Warner's second compilation series (see next) As a eighties nut this
one hits just about all the mainstream you can handle. Bonus points for
including not one, but two instrumentals: Axel F &Miami Vice Themes. Very
surprising after the 1980-1984 disk showed a very poor playlist (Not revued)

A good portion of standard fare mixed up with some real gems ("Love
Action," "The Model," "Living On The Ceiling").  I'm not particularly
thrilled with the sequence, but the inclusion of "It's My Life" makes my
day.

Another even mix of romantic, synth, and more hard-driving songs, with
its strongest points in the romantic/synth category.  For me the CD
doesn't really get into its element til "Smalltown Boy," but the 4 to 10
sequence is simply perfect.  "Vienna" is a most excellent ending to this
worthy 2-cd set.

Comments:
	This disc is labeled for the most part in Japanese, only the song
titles are in English (like all the songs).  I don't recognize all the songs
on here, so there's a lot of question marks here. Overall, this is a fun disc,
with a lot of punk standards ("Anarchy in the UK" and "Clash City Rocker")
and this is the first disc I've bought with the classic new wave song "Pyscho
Killer" by the Talking Heads.  I recommend picking it up if you find it,
which I doubt you will unless you're in Japan.

        Beat on the brat, beat on the brat, beat on the brat, WITH A BASEBALL
BAT!  Ok, now you know why I bought this compilation, and it's the only
non-eighties tune on here, but I'm willing to forgive them as it fits
perfectly on here.  The disc is kinda short, but let's face it, the Ramones
never wrote a song over 3 minutes, and well, most punk groups tend not to
generate 8 minute long ballads, so this is to be expected when there's 12
songs on the disc.  This disc has all the classic groups on it, if you
listened to any punk during the eighties, you'll be familar with the whole
disc.  I didn't listen to much punk myself, and even I recognize almost all
these tunes.  I highly recomend this to anyone, especially if they're big
into today's punk groups like Green Day, now you'll know where they get their
energy.

Comments:
        Wow, this disc is truly bad.  If you want the "Pina Colada Song"
then I recomend buying the original disc, since the rest of the songs on
here are enough to put even the biggest soft rock fans to sleep.  Later
discs in this series even go on to have remakes of the Dukes of Hazard
theme song, which makes this a really poor series that just got off to
bad start and progressed even further downhill.

Comments:
        Not bad, it's got a lot of songs on it that others
compilations already have.  The inclusions of the Cheap Trick song was good,
the version of 99 Luftbaloons is the English version, I would have probably
left the Earth, Wind and Fire tune off this disc though.  It's basically an
ok compilation, not bad, not great.

Comments:
        One of the first compilation I ever bought, in a truck stop in
the middle of nowhere, this has a lot of top 40 songs you just can't
find elsewhere.  If you liked arena rock of the seventies, you probably
liked these songs too.  The biggest reason to own this tape is for the
themesong from Caddy Shack by Kenny Logins, which is one of those great
feel good songs of the early eighties.  What's really nice about this
collection is that all the songs are big hits and most people will
instantly recognize the artists as well as the songs presented.  If you
can find it, grab it.

Comments:
        Not a bad disc, certainly worth the six dollars I paid for it,
				the inclusion of Sly Fox was certainly appreciated. The selections
are primarily based more on what's fashonable to look back on now (like
most compilations actually), my only complaint is the length of the CD,
though for six dollars, I'm not complaining much.

Comments:
        A lot of crap fills out this disc.  The biggest insult is the
inclusion of Sly Fox after they already had it on the first disc, which
had I realized at the time, I wouldn't have purchased this disc.  The
songs by the recognizable groups on here weren't really popular (and for
a reason).  The only bright light on here is the song "Walk The Dinosaur"
which hardly, if ever, appears on compilations (why I don't know).
