It's probably too much to hope that New Order "Temptation" (disc 1) will be the ORIGINAL 7" version!!

[Sean]

This series kind of reminds me of the "Sedated In the 80's" series, more guitar edge New Wave. Pretty cool though that they didn't put the same old songs. Too bad they weren't releasing something similar to the Retro:active or Hardest Hits series.

Se

Yeah, I think they did a great job on this one. Can't wait to get it!

[Grunch]

Don't get me wrong, it is a nice mix of tracks, but still most of these are not hard to find. Rhino would do well to put out a box of really hard to find 80s nuggets. A lot of have almost all of these tracks already. For me, I would have preferred more ha

[Ollie Stench]

Just like the "No Thanks" box, I've got more than 3/4 of these tracks already. It looks like a great place for the beginner to start, but for me atl east, it seems pretty redundant. Although the chance to own a cd that has Suicidalt Tendencies and the C

[devildog]

I wish some label would put out a box set of rare 80's/new wave. There is really nothing exciting about this box set. I must have 90% of what is listed. It is not worth it to own just for the 10% I do not have.

[i_like_lectric_motors]

I have a ton of it already too, but most of it's still on vinyl. Since I do alot of driving, this seems ideal for road trips. You could load up all 4 cd's, hit random, and it would be a long time before you got bored.

[British]

The ratio of truly obscure / mainstream 'filler'(see the REM track listed) is a lot better.

Rhino's "Just can't get enough" series was very hit and miss. Some CDs had as much 80s mainstream dreck as the usual '80s" compliations, while others had stuff

[EchoBeachBunnyBoy]

I completely agree with what Grunch & devildog have already stated.
Rare. Obscure. Remixes.
That's what would loosen the hard earned cash from my icy deathgrip!

[cubby]

I think I have about 60 of these tracks already. So, for me it is a toss-up whether I shell out the hard earned cash or not. I will definitely buy the Siouxsie b-sides box before this one though.

[thefxc]

Blah. A decent survey of mainstream college rock, but nothing exciting; I don't see an audience for this.

I thought the "Just Can't Get Enough" series worked because they threw a lot of obscurities and forgotten songs in with the hits--I don't see t

Rough Trade has been releasing some interesting comps.
The latest one ( Rough Trade Shops: Indiepop) will be released in late August.





Rough Trade Shops release a new compilation on Mute and this time the theme is indiepop. This is the eighth i

I'm gonna need both! Drats!

I hope they would come out with Post Punk vol 2 soon
