Comments

And then they compound the mistitling of the series (how can you call it Eighties Complete and not include any Michael Jackson? or Madonna? or Pet Shop Boys? or Genesis? or... hell, tangent, where was I?) by calling this "More Australian Artists" when, in fact, a number of them are New Zealanders!

But apart from that this has some pretty good tracks on it. It's worth noting that the same company released a second Eighties Complete box set, rendering the title even more meaningless, but after the mastering problems on this one, I think I'll keep my money...
