The 80s Album (NAD20)
Various Artists
The 80's album celebrates the diversity of the decade across 2 LPs of 30 tracks including 12 UK #1 Hit Singles and key tracks that have deservedly achieved legendary status. Just as much an essential self-purchase as well as an amazing gifting opportunity.
Side One features smashes from Queen with Another One Bites The Dust, Philip Bailey and Phil Collins Easy Lover and Meat Loaf duetting with Cher on Dead Ringer For Love alongside New-Wave hits from The Clash Rock The Casbah, The Jam Start, U2 with the amazing New Year’s Day and pop-rock radio staples from Electric Light Orchestra Hold On Tight and Kenny Loggins’ theme from Footloose.
Side Two represents the best in pure pop from Frankie Goes To Hollywood with the 80’s anthem Two Tribes, Billy Joel’s irresistible Uptown Girl, alongside Adam and The Ants, Tears For Fears, Cyndi Lauper, Nik Kershaw, Matthew Wilder and the first #1 from Culture Club Do You Really Want To Hurt Me.
Side Three kicks off with 3 of the most danceable mega-hits of all time by 3 of the biggest superstars ever - Billie Jean from Michael Jackson, All Night Long (All Night) from Lionel Richie and Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves You) - and then presents 3 of the biggest movie themes ever from Blondie with Call Me, Giorgio Moroder and Philip Oakey with Together In Electric Dreams and the iconic Take My Breath Away from Berlin and then finishes with the brilliant electro-pop of Steppin’ Out from Joe Jackson.
Side Four is all about the best of the best, kicking off with the beautiful Blue Eyes from Elton John, Pipes Of Peace from Paul McCartney and Paul Simon’s classic The Boy In The Bubble. Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse Of The Heart was one of the decade’s biggest global hits and Slave To Love from Bryan Ferry sounds as fresh today as it did in the mid-80s. The final two tracks define timeless, sophisticated pop and are a fantastic sign-off from this album with ABC’s epic All Of My Heart and to finish, the simply stunning The Day Before You Came from ABBA.

East Of The Sun West of The Moon
Limited edition pressing for National Album Day 2020.
Originally released 30 years ago in October 1990, and named after a traditional Norwegian fairy-tale, East of The Sun West of The Moon, co-produced by Ian Stanley (Tears for Fears), marked a departure from previous albums released by the Norwegian new-wave band. Acoustic guitars were added into the mix, and the piano replaced the keyboard/ synthesiser of previous albums. This album also features the first non- Morten lead vocals, by Magne on ‘’The Way We Talk.’’
East of The Sun West of The Moon peaked at number one in Norway and reached top 20 in various European countries and Japan. It has since gone to achieve gold certification in Brazil, France Germany and Switzerland as well as Silver certification in the UK.
Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (Guitarist) says of EOTSWOTM ‘’We put together a band with Norwegian musicians, and did full takes on all the songs. It was something completely different, it was a much more human expression. You can listen to it several times and find nuances, ‘cause it ain’t a machine spitting it out.’’
