Notes & Personnel Info |  | The budget-line Monster 80s Hits series, put together by Platinum Disc, is distributed by Sony -- each volume in the series is hardly representative of the corresponding year, since all of the selections are plucked from Sony-distributed labels. To make matters worse, a lot of these songs barely cracked the Top 40 of the mainstream pop singles chart, meaning that the title of the series is a bit of a stretch. Monster 86 Hits includes the Bangles' "Walk Like an Egyptian," Don Johnson's "Heartbeat," Clarence Clemons' "You're a Friend of Mine," the Outfield's "Your Love," and Electric Light Orchestra's "Calling America"; as with the other volumes in the series, it's far too random to be of much use for anyone other than wedding DJs. ~ Andy Kellman |
