Notes
Buy one booklet, get another one free! And, by that, I mean that in some kind of freakish manufacturingh defect, there are actually two CD inserts in the case instead of one. I've checked them ,and they're identical, so I bet the bods at the manufacturing depot, wherever it may be , are kicking themselves now!

All in all, not a bad little collection of songs from around this time. In a weird twist of the norm, I think I prefer the second disk more than the first, as disk 1 seems to include the "hits", whereas disk 2 seems to be the more obscxure songs.

Stand-out tracks are "I can Hear Your Heartbeat" by Chris Rea. I know he's done a few versions of this, but I think the original 1983 recording isn't in the collection, so hopefully, this is that. "Der Komissar" by After The Fire, is another good one.

Both disks seem to include a number of tracks I'm not familiar with. I'm sure I'll know them if and when I play them.
