Various Artists PURE 80'S LOVE: THE

All tracks have been digitally remastered.
This is part of UTV Records "Pure 80's" series.
Romantically inclined fans of the era of spandex and legwarmers are advised to head straight to PURE '80S LOVE: THE #1 HITS. The wide range of artists represented on this particular collection is an odd assortment to say the very least. New Romantics Spandau Ballet ("True") share space with teen-pop sensation Tiffany ("Could've Been"), Motown hit machine Lionel Richie ("Truly"), and Canadian one-hit wonders Sheriff ("When I'm With You"). Other odd bedfellows include the John Waite/Neal Schon supergroup Bad English ("When I See You Smile"), Aussie MOR stalwarts Air Supply ("All Out of Love"), quirky pop darling Cyndi Lauper ("Time After Time"), folkie vet Dan Fogelberg ("Longer"), and corporate rock giants Foreigner ("I Want To Know What Love Is"). Duets by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes ("Up Where We Belong") and Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald ("On My Own") will have you wondering out loud about why Ann Wilson and Mike Reno didn't land on this eclectic collection.
