They all sound absolute great, they've really put some effort in to the mastering of these to make sure they pop in your ears in all the places - a little quiet maybe on the volume, but not really an issue, and assume that's possibly to do with the amount of tracks they've managed to cram on each slab of the vinyl.

Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at ourwarehouse. The 4CD set (also available in cheaper ‘standard’ packaging) offer 85 tracksacross the four discs and is a wonderful reminder of just how good 1980 was, with its intersection of pure pop, new wave, post-punk, the beginnings of new romanticism, disco hangovers from the ’70s along with some weird and wonderful ‘forgotten’ tracks.Just feels like so far these albums are missing a bit of trick - you'd have never have had any of this on the original UK series, the original compiler Ashley Abram wouldn't have had any of it!
