VA - Sounds Of The 80s Don't You Want Me 1980-1983 (2019)

Every episode of BBC Radio 2’s popular Sounds Of The 80s show takes listeners on a journey back to a well-loved decade with its distinctive musical landscape. Hosted by Gary Davies (and formerly Sara Cox) the show delves into the various genres that made the 80’s so musically diverse from classic and alternative pop to rock, dance and hip-hop. UMC and the BBC have teamed up to compile a set of official Sounds Of The 80s branded collections that will showcase the decade’s fabulous sounds in three bite-size chunks. Each carefully compiled double-LP album will include UK Chart smash hits taken from every major music catalogue including Universal, Sony, Warner and BMG to do the show and the decade the justice it deserves. Don’t You Want Me celebrates the biggest and best hits from the first four years of the decade and features the likes of The Human League, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, ABBA, Blondie, Soft Cell, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and many more…
