Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars DO NOT pass this up now...and kick yourself later.......2005-08-07

12" singles and long album versions from the 80s don't come this easy on CD. And it has the ULTRA RARE extended ALBUM version of Rapture by Blondie...not the 10 minute disco mix, but the mix from the album with the lost verse added back in!!! I would review volume one, but I can't find a listing here on amazon. But hunt that one down too, you won't be disappointed! Track times:

5 out of 5 stars The absolute cream of the 80s crop!.......2004-06-15

I spent most of the eighties collecting 12" singles, and most of the nineties (and beyond) struggling to replace them on compact disc. Sadly, many of the great extended versions have yet to see the light of day on CD; it is likely that some never will.
