find these discs cheap if you can. Many of your favorite 80s new wave 12" singles in one place. Track times on this volume:
1. i love a man in a uniform (4:22) (this is not the 12" version)
2. endicott (5:32)
3. Situation (5:43)
4. Who needs love like that (6:06)
5. Blue Monday (7:39)
6. living on video (5:32)
7. sex (8:05)
8. animal song (6:58)
9. major tom (8:06)

This collection starts off relatively weak but contains the definitive extended versions of Blue Monday, Sex, and Major Tom, all in one place -- easily worth the original store-bought price that I paid for it. Animal Song is fun and bouncy; Trans-X is fun and bleepy. The Yaz and Erasure tracks are well done but not exceptional versions. Admittedly, even the first two tracks grew on me after a while. While this is good, volume 2 is better. I really wish they had produced a volume 3.

A very strange collection. The whole synth-pop sound was best done by the English, so the best tracks on this collection are by Yazoo and New Order. Gang of Four run a close second. As for the rest...what a motley crowd; the panstick is definitely looking a little heavy. For absolute fans and completists only, especially given the price.
