Presenting the latest chart-busting 3CD set in The Hits Album series, 80s New Wave - a collection of unforgettable songs from an era defined by energy and excitement. A melting pot of influences that took in classic 60s tunes Reggae, Ska, and Synth-Pop, all bound together by brilliant songwriting. At the end of the ‘70s Punk arrived on the Pop scene as a response to the big hair and big songs of recent years, and while the bondage trousers and safety pin accessories never found a huge audience, it did herald a time when hair and songs got shorter, and jeans (and the occasional tie) skinnier. Now you can re-visit those days with 64 fantastic songs on The Hits Album - 80s New Wave. Neither cult nor niche, The Hits Album - 80s New Wave has chart topping singles from Blondie (‘Atomic’), The Jam (‘Start!’), Culture Club (‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me’), and Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin (‘It’s My Party). We’ve got acts that are still thrilling audiences more than 40 years later like The Cure (‘A Forest’), New Order (‘Temptation’), Duran Duran (‘Girls On Film’), and Simple Minds (‘Love Song’). They’re joined by artists who had just one brilliant moment on the chart like Martha And The Muffins (‘Echo Beach’), The Barracudas (‘Summer Fun’), Split Enz (‘I Got You’), and Ph.D. (‘I Won’t Let You Down’). Whether you lived through it then, or your discovering these songs for the first time, you’re bound to be swept away by The Hits Album - 80s New Wave.
