LP1's first side showcases this diversity. Kicking off with Eurythmics stunning 'Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)', and Propaganda's magnificent debut 'Dr. Mabuse', before The B-52's bring U.S. New Wave with 'Planet Claire'. Post-Punk Pop exploded on the charts of the early '80s, and The Associates and The Stranglers feature, as do The Adventures 'Broken Land' and Marc Almond's 'Stories Of Johnny' - both amazing songs. That calibre of song writing is continued on the second side with Tom Robinson's 'Atmospherics.' and the Elvis Costello co-write 'Shipbuilding', beautifully realised by Robert Wyatt. Next up is the understated classic 'I'm In Love With A German Film Star' from The Passions, leading into Synth-Pop from Yello, Midge Ure & Mick Karn, Japan and a brilliant single from Japanese band Sandii & The Sunsetz. LP1 fittingly closes with defining U.S. New Wave smash 'Whip It' from DEVO. The epic 'This Corrosion' from Sisters Of Mercy starts LP 2 in grandiose style, followed by atmospheric masterpieces from Siouxsie And The Banshees, Bauhaus and The Cure. The debut hit from Bjork's band The Sugarcubes with 'Birthday' follows, before David Sylvian's 'Pop Song', and 'Flowers' from Zaine Griff (featuring Kate Bush on backing vocals). The final side opens with the song that launched one of the defining bands of the era, The Smiths, with 'Hand In Glove'. Timeless hits from Aztec Camera and the Pretenders lead to R.E.M., the Pixies and The Psychedelic Furs representing the U.S. Alt scene, and the collection draws to a close with The Cult's 'Edie (Ciao Baby)', and The Clash's commentary on the era 'This Is England'. 'NOW - 80s Alternative' - A celebration of a different view of the decade's charts - the lesser-compiled 1980's singles.Release Year: 2023Tracks: Disc 11: Beethoven (I Love to Listen To) - Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart2: Dr. Mabuse - Propaganda3: Planet Claire - The B-52's4: Party Fears Two (2016 Remaster/Single Edit) - The Associates5: Stories of Johnny - Marc Almond6: Broken Land (7" Version) - The Adventures7: European Female - The Stranglers8: This Corrosion - Sisters of Mercy9: Peek-a-boo - Siouxsie and the Banshees10: Kick in the Eye (Remix Single Version) - Bauhaus11: A Forest (Shortened Edit) - The Cure12: Birthday - The Sugarcubes13: Pop Song - David Sylvian14: Flowers - Zaine GriffDisc 21: Shipbuilding - Robert Wyatt2: Atmospherics: Listen to the Radio - Tom Robinson3: I'm in Love With a German Film Star - The Passions4: After a Fashion (7" Version) - Midge Ure & Mick Karn5: Gentlemen Take Polaroids (Edit) - Japan6: Dreams of Immigrants - Sandii & The Sunsetz7: Vicious Games - Yello8: Whip It - Devo9: Hand in Glove (Single Version/2008 Remaster) - The Smiths10: Oblivious - Aztec Camera11: Talk of the Town - The Pretenders12: So.
