Past Masters is a compilation album series by The Beatles released in 1988 - the initial two volumes were released on 7 March 1988 on separate CDs and a double collection two-record set followed on 24 October 1988 in the United States and 10 November 1988 in the United Kingdom. When The Beatles' albums were first released on Compact Disc, this series was put together so that The Beatles' entire catalogue of released work would be available on CD. None of these songs (in the versions included on this album) are found on any of The Beatles' original non-compilation albums released in the United Kingdom up to 1970

The first-ever vinyl edition of Cités Analogue (1988) by French duo Lightwave brings a long-overlooked kosmische and concrète masterpiece to light, expertly revived by Bureau B. Perfect for fans of Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Claude Eloy, or Oneohtrix Point Never, this album offers an expansive, cinematic journey through analog synthscapes. Following their debut Modular Experiments (1987), Christoph Harbonnier and Christian Wittman crafted Cités Analogue using an intricate array of RSF, ARP, Roland, and Oberheim modular systems. Recorded on a Revox B77 tape machine, the album unfolds in vivid, dreamlike vignettes and widescreen compositions, blending finely layered analog synths with poetic concrète influences. Highlights include the ambient textures of "Airport," the Radigue-like tonal subtleties of "Correspondence pour ailleurs," and the rhythmic sophistication of "Le Parvis."

Rising from the ashes of the legendary British post-punk unit Joy Division, New Order triumphed over tragedy to emerge as one of the most acclaimed bands of the 1980s; embracing the electronic textures and disco rhythms of the underground club culture many years in advance of its contemporaries, the group's pioneering fusion of new wave aesthetics and dance music successfully bridged the gap between the two worlds, creating a distinctively thoughtful and oblique brand of synth pop appealing equally to the mind, body, and soul.

Once in a While is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on May 23, 1988, by Columbia Records and found him returning to the practice of covering contemporary hits but also mixing in lesser-known songs already recorded by other artists along with a few new ones ("Daydreamin'", "From a Whisper to a Scream", "Two Strong Hearts").

Open Up and Say… Ahh! is the second studio album by American glam metal band Poison, released on April 27, 1988, through Enigma Records. It proved to be the band's most successful release, and spawned four hit singles: "Nothin' But a Good Time", "Fallen Angel", "Your Mama Don't Dance" (a Loggins and Messina cover) and their only number one single to date, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". The album peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200.

Greatest Hits is an excellent, thorough 16-track collection containing all of Journey's big hits, from 1978's "Wheel in the Sky" to 1986's "I'll Be Alright Without You." Although the songs aren't presented in chronological order and a handful of minor hits ("Suzanne," "Walks Like a Lady") aren't included, it doesn't matter, since every essential Journey single – "Only the Young," "Don't Stop Believin'," "Any Way You Want It," "Separate Ways," "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'," "Open Arms," "Send Her My Love" – is here, which means that it's all most casual fans will ever need.

In 1988, few heavy metal bands were comprised of all black members, and fewer had the talent or know-how to inject different musical forms into their hard rock sound (funk, punk, alternative, jazz, soul, rap) – but N.Y.C.'s Living Colour proved to be an exception. Unlike nearly all of the era's metal bands, the group's music has held up over time, thanks to its originality and execution. Living Colour leader/guitarist Vernon Reid spent years honing his six-string chops, and was one of the most respected guitarists in New York's underground scene. He couldn't have done a better job selecting members for his new rock band – singer Corey Glover, bassist Muzz Skillings, and drummer Will Calhoun – as their now-classic debut, Vivid, proves.
