Advantages: Will soon be popping up very cheaply at car boot sales.

Disadvantages: Some folk will try and convince you this is a wise purchase.

The 80's. A music era you either hated or simply just tolerated. I for my part am amongst the latter. Maybe it was leaving school into the Thatcher era or maybe the music scene simply was dire. Actually a combination of both. If you are someone who actually loves this era then you need not read this review. This is aimed at the curious musical adventurer of lesser years than myself. If you under 40 and are looking to discover music of worth from previous era's then avoid this like the plague. Unless of course you find a copy in a charity shop or at a carboot sale but then pay no more than £1.00. Quite an adequate enough sum to show why the 90's just had to happen. I am familiar with the track listing and it would be unfair to suggest there are no mini high lights but you will ave to sit through a lot of dross to find them. Unfortunately the high lights on this in one or two cases are in fact career high lights. Under 30 and curious? Then seek out the 'Shine' compilations which are frequently popping up in many second hand outlets at very reasonable prices. Not now on the second hand market because of lack of content but because many previous owners have built fine single artist compilations on the strength of the real music contained within. You have been warned and suitably advised one hopes.

Summary: If you must hear this then try to borrow and not be tempted to buy
