Customer Reviews:

80's music.......2007-07-16

I grew up in the 70's and 80's. I was nostalgic so I purchased this CD. It's okay.

rare gems.......2007-07-03

This series is incredible! Vol 14 is one of my favorites.

I don't think you'll find Rubber Rodeo's "Anywhere with you" anywhere else - this is an amazing, under-rated song. Two other great rarities are Never Never by the Assembly and Every Word Means No by Let's Active.

Other don't-miss songs are Tenderness, One Night in Bangkok (Chess is touring around in summer 2007 - can you believe it?), Voices Carry, and Can't Get Enough of You Baby.

If you love the 80s & are on a limited budget (I only wish I could have the whole set!), this one and Vol 1 are the ones to get.

Will The Real "One Night In Bangkok "Please Stand Up.......2006-12-23

Finally, one can have the original version of "One Night In Bangkok" on Volume 14 of this series. Murray Head wasn't smart enough to include it on his own greatest hits CD, so it's good that someone got it right. In addition, some other worthy offerings on this CD include "Close (to the edit) by Art Of Noise, Der Komimissar (After The Fire), "Imagination" by Belouis Some, and "Sunglasses At Night" by Corey Heart.

"True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" is an interesting inclusion as we get to hear the Red Hot Chili Peppers in their underground days. This is worth having if you're an 80's fan. Go get yourself a copy.

Exactly what I thought it would be!.......2006-03-20

A great mix of hard to find music.

Old School Skater.......2005-09-20

Damn, I havent even bought this CD but boy, talk about remeniscing, I think I spelled that right, hmm, I remmeber the skate board days, New Wave girlfreind, man.... great CD, there's nothing like 80's New Wave, or just 80's Rock, the music now? Shoot, its all over produced and bland, I 'd rather listen to daeth metal than the music now, well, I actually do.

Just Can't Get Enough..........2007-02-04

Folks, I only bought this CD for "Send Me An Angel" by Real Life. That's one of my favorite songs from the 80's. The rest of the CD outside of "99 Luft Balloons" by Nena is passable. Five stars for the Group 'Real Life'!! Three stars for the disc overall.

Angel Delivered!.......2006-02-25

I bought this CD because it has the original 1983 version of Real Life's "Send Me An Angel" which I couldn't find anywhere else.

As for the rest of it, this CD is a decent 80's collection. However, I'd suggest starting off any 80's library with the 5 volumes of "Living In Oblivion" and then building up from there.

Worth the money for "Just Got Lucky" and "Emotion".......2003-12-03

Volume 11 of the New Wave Dance Hits series is an excellent collection of great 80's rock mixing some of the biggest new wave hits with other lesser known but still strong tracks. The tracks "99 Luftballons", "True", "Talking In Your Sleep", and "One Thing Leads To Another" were all Top 5 singles in the early 80's. Of these tracks, only "One Thing..." has stood the test of time as it still gets regular airplay on modern rock radio.

As with many of the albums in this series, it's the lesser known tracks that truly stand out. Some of these include the driving "In A Big Country", the moody "Send Me An Angel", the excellent pop of "Black Coffee In Bed", and the hyperactive track "The Fanatic." But the best tracks here, and the reason to pick up this album, are the tracks "Just Got Lucky", quite simply an excellent pop song that should have made JoBoxers huge, and "Emotion", a track by DFX2 which sounds reminiscent of Greg Kihn Band but is more danceable with its killer bass line. Other solid tracks include "Change", "Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime)", and "Shiny Shiny." The rest of the album is pretty decent too. A great compliation. Highly recommended.

VERY Shiny.......2002-09-23

It automatically gets 5 stars just for including Haysi Fantayzee! It never leaves my carousel, except maybe for a trip on the subway in my discman.

Another Cool Collection from Rhino !.......2001-08-23

Another strong collection in Rhino's New Wave Hits series. Great stuff like Jo Boxers' "Just Got Lucky" and the super cool "Fanactic" by Felony. Add some classic cuts from Squeeze, The Fixx and Big Country and it all adds up to a very worthy collection. Overall, great fun stuff from a time when music was catchy, clever and optimistic. If you grew up in the 80's, chances are you'll dig this CD as well as the others in this great series.

Worth twice the asking price just for Nik Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good!! Rest of the tracks are "vintage" 80s' also. The whole Just Can't Get Enough series is a must for 80s' music fans. Absolutely no clunkers!!!

Gotta have if you're an 80's fan!.......1999-09-14

Got a good mix of old favorites (Relax, Cruel Summer) and some not-so-easy-to-find gems like Whisper To A Scream. I love this cd!

best singular '80s compilation out there.......1999-09-02

While this compilation manages to have unappealing tracks ("Girls", "Free Nelson Mandela"), there are some really nice songs on here. "Hold Me Now" and "Cruel Summer" are really great songs to commute to, and "The Stand" is a powerful and anthemic delight. "Wouldn't It Be Good" is delectable and "Whisper to a Scream" is a rare gem. This is a must buy for anyone wanting an '80s compilation that doesn't contain the usual hackneyed "hitsapalooza". I even liked "Hero Takes a Fall" and I never knew I could like a Bangles song!

Easily the best!.......1999-07-04

Songs like Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't it Be Good" and The Special AKA's "Nelson Mandela" make this easily the best volume in this 15 volume series. Nik Kershaw fans beware: An edited version of "Wouldn't it Be Good" appears here.

I only bought this CD for The Rave-Ups Positively Lost Me. Thank you for including this super rare, out of print song!

Images from Heaven makes this a five star.......2007-06-20

The heart felt songs of the 80's are well captured in the Just Can't Get Enough series, they did a very good job of finding some of the more obscure songs of the 80's but unfortunately they spread them out to force you to buy the set. Yet still as far as the collection is concerned this is one of the best because of Peter Godwin's Images of Heaven. Play the song for yourself and you'll see why.

not bad.......2005-03-06

If you grew up in the Eighties most of these songs will be familiar to you. Some of these are quite good ( Only You, Oblivious, Come Back and Stay ) and hold up nicely after repeated listening. Some do not, unfortunately. And for the record, the version of Our Lips Are Sealed here ( by the Fun Boy Three ) is NOT the original, as stated by the reviewer above. It was recorded after the Go-Gos did it ( although the lead singer of FBT - Terry Hall - co-wrote the song with Jane Weidlin of the Go-Go's). Overall, a fun nostalgia trip.

Most holidays exclude somebody--on grounds of religious beliefs, political persuasion, or refusal to eat our fine feathered friends--but not good old Halloween, which has a little something for everyone. The same can be said of this 15-track collection, which spans modern music's sonic and sensory spectrums. It encompasses the noisy and danceable, nasty and nice. Most of the set is given over to party-ready tunes like the B-52's' "Devil in My Car" and the Ramones' "Pet Sematary," but its darker corners offer up a few eerie moments--such as MX-80 Sound's rendition of the horror classic "Theme from Halloween" and Sonic Youth's "Halloween." The disc closes on an appropriately creepy note thanks to horror master Roky Erickson, who spins a cautionary yarn called "Creature with the Atom Brain" that's guaranteed to cause more nightmares than a Milk Dud overdose. --David Sprague

Most Wonderful Time Of The Year........2007-07-12

Anyone who enjoys the Halloween season, and if you are really into it you know it begins on September 1st and doesn't let up till sometime on November 1st when you get the time to take down your dozens of decorations...this one is for you. Of course it's edgy you know with the New Wave title, and for fans like me who were searching for alternative Halloween rock that caters to a mainly hard rock/alternative, punk, whatever other label fits, and new wave audience. If all that appeals or has a feel for you, then you will have a great time like me listening to these on a daily basis for a couple months.

This one along with a standards CD which would include the song "Monster Mash" etc.. and the excellent by Rob Zombie and co. called "Halloween Hootenany" make an excellent accompanyment to a thrilling, chilling holiday. Being in the Midwest, or in my case the Cental (Central...I need to figure out how to edit that boo-boo!) U.S. and the changing of the season's makes it all the more fun. Watching scary movies from the 80's and listening to this music is the most fun you can have in the fall by far!

OH PLEASE!.......2007-05-12

the first track is just fine. "time warp" i must say if you want that track get the rocky horror picture show sound track or the rocky horror show original london cast.now as for this cd for the most part it is just
a lot of filler and a god awful cover the price is $11.98 at that price
i think you might as well just thow it out the car window.

Great any time of the year!.......2006-04-17

This is one of two Halloween cds I keep in my car year round. Sometimes when you're coming home after a hard day or just driving around on a beautiful day, there's nothing better than rolling down the windows and blasting this disc.

It's not as thematically relevant as Halloween Hootenany (my favorite Halloween cd!) but it's definately a great runner-up.
I wouldn't say all the tunes are "New Wave". I prefer to think the title referes more to it being a new wave of Halloween music instead of the type of music on it. If you're looking for something with more to offer than the standard Ghostbusters/Thriller/Bad Moon Rising/Etc compilations, this is your ticket.

Halloween Music Rocks.......2005-12-14

New Wave Halloween has the best halloween music i've heard. I like this cd a lot it has good music and i love Halloween. It has The Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, wich is the best song on this cd and the best song from a Musical Movie. This Cd Rocks Like Halloween.

If you liked this cd check out all of the other Halloween cd's there are.

Twisted Halloween fun!.......2005-10-24

Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Halloween is probably their best entry in that it will have the broadest appeal. A lively party of Halloween-themed music, it swings from the danceable to the dangerous, sometimes with little or no warning.
The tracks include:
The Time Warp--not precisely 80's material, but certainly RHPS's cult following in that decade helped make the song a modern classic.
'Everday is Halloween' by Ministry is the first song of theirs I have heard. It reminds me more than a little of the Art of Noise.
'Devil In My Car' by the B-52s brings their funky-dance floor techno sensibility to Halloween.
Dead Man's Party, a long time Oingo Boingo standard, is my favorite track on the CD.
'Pet Semetary' by the Ramones, is a relatively deep tune, considering their normal repertoire. Good, though.
For those fond of the Meco concept of music, but perhaps thought it was a little tame, MX-80's energetic version of the 'Theme from Halloween' is pleasant filler.
The 'Munster's Theme' is a quick dive into pure silliness, redeeming itself primarily due to its brevity.
'The Creature from the Black Lagoon' is my favorite new discovery (and my second favorite track on the CD), a sophisticated punk tune capturing the flare of 50's music and movies.
'Halloween' by the Dream Syndicate reminds me of another band called Flour, one of my favorite artist. However, I do believe Dream Syndicate is the more well known band. Good tune.
Sonic Youth's 'Halloween' takes the CD out of the realm of kid friendly with the use of the 'f'word, but an appealing track nonetheless.
The Dead Kennedys and the Misfits both provide tracks titled 'Halloween', and both are solid tunes.
Mudhoney's cover of Sonic Youth's Halloween is different enough to justify it being on the same CD.
Roky Erikson, a gothic-punk horror artist and a modernization of Screaming Lord Sutch, lends his talents to wrap up the CD.
A 5 on a 5 point scale, and a 9 on a 10 point scale.

Hands down the series champ.......2004-06-22

With Volume 4 of the Just Can't Get Enough series Rhino really got their act together. Leading off with Devo's greatest non-hit ever "Freedom Of Choice", this disc rarely lets up and only occasionally stumbles. The Boomtown Rats "Up All Night", doomed Phil Seymour's "Precious To Me", and the Translators "Everywhere That I'm Not" all make for legitimate reasons to buy this disc, but the two killers are The Members early MTV staple "Working Girl" and The Monroes "What Do All The People Know". Try finding THOSE somewhere else. One other great song that could have been a huge plus to this collection was The Kings "Switchin' To Glide/This Beat Goes On" but THEY CUT HALF OF IT OFF!!! Whose idea was that? No matter. Search under The Kings on Amazon for the debut album and hear it like it was meant to be heard.
The stumble? The God-awful "Tainted Love" which has been known to cause loose stools in laboratory mice. Avoid at all costs.

Volume Four Makes Case For Best In Series!.......2004-03-13

I'm busy collecting this terrific series by Rhino. Volume Four is the fifth CD in the series I've added to my collection and is so far the best. Everything you associate with the new Wave era of the 1980s is here. Generals and Majors by XTC captures the Cold War doom and gloom of the Reagan years (those years seem rather innocent now). Love and Lonliness by the Motors gives you synth pop at its best. Solid New Wave sound can be found in the Kings Switchin' to Glide and the Undertones It's Going to Happen. I really like Workin Girl by the Members and What Do All the People Know by the Monroes. Also represented are Devo with Freedom of Choice and Soft Cell's Tainted Love (Both of TV commercial fame). The twelve cuts here really show the range of New Wave music. Some of it is lighthearted and meant for fun while others take things quite seriously. I look forward to completing the set, but doubt any of the others will match this one!

New Wave Hits Volume 4.......2000-12-31

This CD is a pretty good compilation of hits from the era of new wave. I must agree with prior reviewers that this does seem to be the only way to get The Monroes "What Do All the People Know". It is a shame that this compilation only includes the second part of The Kings song "Switchin' to Glide", failing to include the first part of this song the "Beat Goes On" is a large disappointment. This oversight is what led me to only rank this CD as four stars. On the positive side, even though most of these songs are available elsewhere, this CD is a quick way to acquire a number of great tunes without doing a long search. Such tunes as "Working Girl", "Tainted Love", and "Generals and Majors" make this CD a must have for the fan of new wave.

Only one reason to buy this--The Monroes!.......2000-07-30

Fairly typical mix of 80's new wave stuff and one-hit wonders, but this album's one saving grace is the inclusion of the lost classic "What Do All The People Know" by the Monroes. This song is one of the all-time greats, even if it is ever so slightly edited here. Another compilation contained the song, but this CD seems to be the only one still available. So snap it up, Monroes fans!

WOW! Was "Mickey" a GREAT song, or what?!.......2004-10-26

Nope, in fact it was one of the songs that I hated the first time I heard it and can still gather up a load of revulsion for today. The oddball tune that drags this collection up to the .500 line is Pete Shelley's "Homo Sapien". Funny, catchy and just plain clever, but I worry about Pete. Other than that volume 5 barely trips the meter. Welcome to the middle of the new wave road.

Nearly Quintessential...Nearly.......2002-05-24

My biggest complaint about this particular album is the inclusion of "Hold onto Something" by Great Buildings. Many of these songs define my days in high school, but for the life of me I can't remember ever hearing of this band. However, I do remember hearing this song...or one very much like it -- Joe Jackson's incredibly popular song titled, "I'm the Man," from his album, "I'm the Man" (1979), which was hugely popular through the early eighties.

Re-mixing this album with the correct song would help this album's rating a lot.

Those Were The Days-- Great New Wave Collection!.......2001-08-18

The best entry in Rhino's awesome "New Wave Hits" series.(Volume 1 which covers the late 70's is also excellent).All 16 songs are culled from 1982 which was indeed a very good year for pop music. Haircut One Hundred's "Love Plus One" and Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran" were anthems of the(then) young MTV Generation. These quirky video darlings raged like a hurricane of fresh air in the face of bland corporate schlock which hogged the airwaves. Songs like the Go Go's "Vacation" and Tommy Tutone's "867-5309" were not only pure fun-- they were also well-crafted 3-minute pop gems. In fact, nearly every tune on volume 5 is cut from the same intelligent pop mold. Other standouts from this set include the vastly underrated Marshall Crenshaw's "Someday Someway", The Jam's "A Town Called Malice" and Soft Cell's absurdly humorous "Sex Dwarf". The only weak cuts are Gang of Four's "Man in Uniform" and the truly horrible "Art of Parties" by Japan. Overall, this is a fantastic collection which harkens back to a truly innovative time in pop music-- a brief time when catchy Hit Singles ruled and all possibilities seemed endless.

Best In The Series.......2001-07-07

This is my favorite of the series. Actually there are only two cuts that I consider weak ("Kids in America" and "Mickey"). ALl the rest are great little slices of the variety and creativeness of 80's new wave rock. Good c.d. to have.

Just Can't Get Enough vol. 5.......2000-07-10

I have 8 of the cd's in this series, and plan on getting the rest. This one is one of my favorite of the series. The song "Love Plus One" by Haircut One Hundred is a fabulous song. There are many other gems as well, such as "I Want Candy", "Someday, Someway" and "I Ran (So Far Away)". There are many obscure songs on here, so don't expect to know them all, unless you had an unbelievable vinyl collection in the 80's. The music hear can fit almost any mood you may be feeling. Pick it up and enjoy.

Where is the rest of the OXO album?.......2004-01-26

Amazing no one ever make any attempt to release the original OXO album. The whole LP was full of great pop songs which made dance a generation in the early 80s in Mar del Plata, Argentina Every DJ in town had a copy of the album. Despite their hit "Whirly Girl", "You make it sound so easy" and "I'll take you back" were on top. Please Rhino help us out!!!!!

I think the Tubes would be embarrassed to be included here.......2000-01-20

I doubt the Tubes would want their song "She's a Beauty" lumped together in this package of songs. But you gotta love having access to a copy of OXO's "Whirly Girl". Geez, I can remember buying that album when it was first released in the early 80's! Great song!

I found my favorite song!!.......1999-04-28

I've been looking for the song "Kiss Me" from Tin Tin. It's about itme someone re-released it.

"Escalator of Life" by Robert Hazard.......1999-04-03

This compilation CD includes Robert Hazard's obscure, but classic, song "Escalator of Life". That alone makes this great collection of new wave songs worth owning.

Better than the most of the others.......1998-09-10

I have five of the "Just can't get enough" CDs, and this particular collection is one of the best in the series. Some of the other CDs have some tracks which can only be described as horrible, but the songs on this one are consistently decent.

Excellent 80's tunes.......2003-10-05

The gem on this disc is obviously Ultravox's Vienna. While the others are very, very good and a few crappy tunes I can't even remember getting air time back in the day, the disc is an overall prize.

Cultural Gap?.......2001-12-18

After reading the first few reviews I thought it might be appropriate to respond. There are a large number of hits on this album, but a lot of them weren't US hits. If you lived in the UK, Europe or Australia - you will know and like a lot of these songs - even americans who got into the new wave scene in the late 70s and early 80s will know songs from clubs that never got radio play. I really enjoyed this album - and if you know a reasonable number of the songs - I am sure you will enjoy it - it's great at parties too!!

HAVE TO AGREE.......2001-07-07

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. When I started looking down the track listing, I realized I bought this for three cuts ("Love Will Tear Us Apart", "Vienna", and "Danger") probobly one of the weaker complations in the series.

A So-So Collection.......2000-08-18

Any fan of New Wave will likely already have the best of the tracks included on this collection. And what you don't have, you could find at a retail "Cut-Out" bin.

Some of the transfer quality is questionable. You could probably obtain a better quality by taping your local radio station's "retro" 80s show. But as I mentioned, you probably already have "I Don't Like Monday's" floating around somewhere!

If you see this CD around cheaply, it's worth picking up (to, if nothing else, save you from having to acquire the better songs one by one). There are a couple of cool tunes which take you back, but all in all, the CD is a hit-or-miss collection.

By the time he hit his stride in 1974 with this chart-topping album, Barry White had firmly established his vocal persona on the contemporary music scene. No fewer than four top-10 R&B hits--two of which had been top-10 pop entries--and two gold albums preceded the release of Can't Get Enough and the man with the deep (and apparently golden) voice was a stealthy force. The allure of White--a Los Angeles native whose early years included a stint as an A&R man with a local record label--lay in his ability to craft relatively simple love songs and embellish them with luxuriant strings, a hard-to-beat rhythm section, and soulful background vocals. The combination is never more evident than on the classic title track and "You're My First, My Last, My Everything," an anthem that seemed to appeal immeasurably to White's ever-increasing pop audience. --David Nathan

Can't Get Enough.......2005-12-09

Oh Barry, you just keep making it feel so real! Your voice takes me into your world, a place of fantasy & magic where I'm lost in what feels like ever lasting romance, every girl's dream. A unique & timeless piece of artistry brought to us by a sheer genius of song writing who knows what a woman wants to hear & most of all just how to say it! Guys, listen & learn from the master who puts us in the mood each & every time! Barry,we miss you so! I could hook a ride on your star forever!

Barry White album #3.......2004-01-19

By 1974 Barry White had two great albums under his belt ('I've Got So Much To Give' and 'Stone Gon'), as well as an album he conducted with Love Unlimited Orchestra, an all-female ensemble. The Maestro was riding high and rightly so, people were addicted to his fresh and unique sound, a mix of deep bass vocals with a full orchestra and inviting riffs and melodies.

'Can't Get Enough' is another shining example of his body of work in the 70s. The two featured songs 'You're The First, The Last, My Everything' and 'Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe' are still as incredible as they were back in the day. Throughout this album The Maestros arrangements are On Point, the orchestral grooves and muscianship, combined with the contrast of his deep vocals and the female back up make for an altogether dreamy and engaging soundscape.

Overall this third album is yet another classic, few artists can compete with The Maestros mightily impressive 70s back catalogue.

A lot of fun but a bit repititive.......2003-08-16

I remember my DAD having the original 33 which was fun to listen to so naturally this CD is special.

However, Barry White is one of those artists whose songs sound a bit alike after a while. So you can buy a GREATEST HITS collection and leave it at that.

I bought this one for two reasons: MELLOW MOOD Pt. 1 and the introduction on YOU'RE THE FIRST, LAST, EVERYTHING cause that intro was left off on the GREATEST HITS CD.

If you're a long time serious White fan, get this album. Otherwise, a GREATEST HITS album will suffice.

Classic '70s Soul!.......2003-07-11

My Mother has had this album since 1974, the year it was first released. I am so thrilled to see it available on CD now! Each song is excellent. Both "Mellow Mood" pts 1 and 2 are superb. Part 1 begins the album, while part 2 brings it to a close. They are perfect to begin and end this album. Barry really knew how to compose music, and this album is a testimony of that. I've loved these songs since childhood, and I still love them today. If you like Barry White and/or really good music, BUY THIS ONE!

Bittersweet.......2003-07-09

I first purchased this recording back in high school on vinyl when Maestro White was coming into his stride with his melodic stirrings..Now that he has passed his music is even more beautiful with its smooth vocals and flowing instrumentals..My favourite track on this disc is I Can't Believe You Love Me - it is soooo sensuous..I spent this past weekend listening to his music over and over. And even though the man has gone to a greater place, his music and the moods he created will live on in the hearts of his fans forever.....
