Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars I bought it for 3 songs.......2005-08-23

It's pretty good. I specifically bought it for only 3 songs - 'Rumors,' 'I can't wait,' and 'The rain.' The whole CD could've used a lot more bass in the recording. I don't know if that's a manufacturing thing or what. But I'm a "basshead" too. I have to have the beats!

4 out of 5 stars Great songs.......2005-08-03

These are some great songs on this CD. The 80's were great and this CD takes me back.

4 out of 5 stars Good, if slim, compilation of 80's R&B.......2005-03-09

I also provided a review for the 1985 CD in this series put out by Rhino back in 1995. As with that one, this CD contains some good R&B tunes from 1986. However, as is the problem with most Rhino releases, it only contains 10 tracks. They could have certainly included a few more tracks to beef it up a little. The versions here are all original recordings by the original artists. This CD is superior to the 1985 edition in that 9 of the 10 songs went to #1 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1986. Two gripes I have:
#1 The inclusion of "Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott which seems to be on every 80's compilation CD that I own. I must have this song on 20 different CD's. If anything, why not include his other hit, "I Got the Feelin'(It's Over)".
#2 The inclusion of Nu Shooz "I Can't Wait". Yes, I know, it did hit the R&B chart. But to me, it is more of an example of 80's New Wave Dance Music than 80's R&B. There are many, many other obscure 80's R&B songs out there that I wish would have been represented here.

Other than the slim amount of music provided, it is a good CD and the songs here are good.

5 out of 5 stars "THE BEST OF THE 1980'S".......2004-06-07

THIS IS A NICE COMPILATION CD FROM THE 1980'S. I LOVE THIS CD IT CONTAINS: THE SIGNATURE HIT FROM "ORAN JUICE JONES"- THE RAIN, YOUR SMILE, DO ME BABY , TASTY LOVE-FREDDIE JACKSON, I CAN'T WAIT-NU SHOOZ,AND RUMORS-THE TIMEX EL SOCIAL CLUB. I ENJOY THIS ALBUM I LIKE COMPILATION CDS AND THIS IS A VERY NICE ONE I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS ALBUM TO ANYONE WHO LIKES CLASSIC R&B TO PURCHASE THIS ALBUM!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Ol' School party!!!.......2002-02-26

Yes, I'll admit, I was just a young pup when these songs were out, but still, they are the jams. "Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott, who had to be the only man who ran out of words and sang..."Eeny, meeny, miney, mo...Come on girl, Let's rock the show."!!!! Melissa Morgan does a nice cover of Prince's "Do Me, Baby". Who could forget Nu Shooz's, "I Can't Wait"? Anndddd the best dis, this-relationship-is-over-so you-better-kick-rocks-song, would have to be "The Rain," by the Juice himself. Everyone remembers him telling that girl that his "first impulse was to run up on you and do a Rambo..." and "this is my world, you're just a squirrel trying to get a nut." This album has all the ol' school classics. This album is perfect if you want to just chill and reminisce on all the fun times of the good ole days.
