Comments

A fairly balanced retrospective of Virgin hits, from Tubular Bells up to the mid 90s. There's one or two oddities (why are Simple Minds on there twice?) and the song the collection is named after isn't included, but hey. I got these CDs becauce occasionally I like to get a compilation album so I can sample a range of artists, and I also really like "Belfast Child". Also I'm an 80s music sorta person.

So, anyway, "I Touch Myself". WTF? Who sits down and thinks "I know! I'll write a song about masturbation!"??
