Culture Club's 'The War Song', is followed by Nena's worldwide #1, '99 Red Balloons', followed by Eurythmics, New Order and Scritti Politti. Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder's classic 'Together In Electric Dreams' in it's extended mix, along with the 12 version of 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes' from Ultravox are enduring synth-pop classics - and rounding off the disc '84 Pop gold from Spandau Ballet, Alison Moyet, Bananarama and Elton John.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood's '5-weeks at #1' smash 'Relax' needs little introduction, and kicks off CD2 with its 'New York Mix'. Bronski Beat's powerful and poignant 'Smalltown Boy' is up next along with celebratory Hi-NRG and electro from Hazell Dean, Deniece Williams' 'Let's Hear It For The Boy', and the 12 remix of The Pointer Sisters' 'Automatic'. A run of synth-driven gems from Peter Schilling, The Art Of Noise, ABC, Re-Flex, Talk Talk and Fiction Factory complete the disc in true '84 style.
CD3 is packed with pure pop brilliance, opening with Duran Duran's worldwide #1 hit 'The Reflex' in its iconic Dance Mix. Nik Kershaw scored a huge hit with 'I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me', Kim Wilde's hits continued with 'The Second Time' and Limahl's 'Never Ending Story' was one of the most memorable film themes of the decade, here in its 12 Dance Mix. Simple Minds and Soft Cell lead into classic alt-pop tracks from The Stranglers ('Skin Deep'), Echo & The Bunnymen ('Silver'), The Icicle Works with the long version of 'Love Is A Wonderful Colour', and Swans Way with the 12 mix of the stunning 'Soul Train'.
CD4 opens with legends, Paul McCartney with the extended version of 'No More Lonely Nights', and Tina Turner with 'Better Be Good To Me'. Some of '84's biggest floor-fillers including 'Just Be Good To Me' from The S.O.S Band, and 'Running With The Night' from Lionel Richie are featured along with jazz, latin and electro infused dance pop from Shakatak, Miami Sound Machine and Ollie & Jerry respectively.
