Audio Mixer: Paul Staveley O'Duffy. Arrangers: Rick Nowels; Peter Wolf . '80s Hits Back is an enjoyable scattershot collection of 12 Top Ten hits from the '80s. The compilation doesn't follow any strict genre -- there are new wave hits like Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science," and Men Without Hats' "Safety Dance," Katrina & the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine," as well as late-'80s pop-soul like Was (Not Was)'s "Walk the Dinosaur" and mainstream pop like Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is a Place on Earth," Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy," and Wang Chung's "Everybody Have Fun Tonight." It's a fun collection, but it's not very cohesive. If you want to own just a few of these songs, it's a good purchase, but serious collectors should concentrate on more comprehensive collections like the 15-volume Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the '80 series. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Producer: Andy McKaie; Danny Elfman; David Was; David Z; Dennis Herring; Don Was; Fine Young Cannibals; Harold Faltermeyer; Marc Durand; Paul Staveley O'Duffy; Rick Nowels; Ricky Wilde; Rupert Hine; Steve Bartek; Steve Jolley; Tony Swain; Peter Wolf; Andy McKaie (C   Technical Info Release Date : 07/02/1996 Original Release Date : 1996 Catalog ID : 40004 Label : Hip-O Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00076744000422    Product Image
