Review: We all love the music of the 80s, don't we? There was such an abundance of dazzling new pop and dance music, it's not easy to boil it down to a humble compilation, but this second volume of the Eighties Collected series does a damn fine job. Swerving anything overly obvious while still keeping things classic, you can find Tears For Fears and Was (Not Was) rubbing shoulders with Transvision Vamp, Big Audio Dynamite and Will Powers. There's space for plenty of the great new wave of the decade, whether it's PiL's seminal 'Rise' or Wang Chung's 'Dance Hall Days' - overall, a perfect tribute to a groundbreaking 10 years.
