Hardbook packaging. Four CD set. 1980 was a huge year in pop music with every genre competing for hits. We have already included more than 150 tracks on the CDs of the 1980 Yearbook, the 80-84 Final Chapter, and their extras so far in our appreciation of the year... Those tracks were generally the bigger hits of the year, with their chart achievement a factor in their inclusion - however - that's not the whole singles story of the year, and our celebration of 1980 wouldn't be complete without shining a light on some of the years' singles that have been compiled much less frequently over the years. Welcome to THE VAULT for 1980... Some of the 80 tracks included were Top 40 hits, some missed the chart completely. Some were representative of massive selling albums, and some were big hits in the U.S. and not in the U.K... but all are part of the wonderful pop story of 1980. Includes tracks by Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Blondie, The Ramones, The Revillos, Ultravox, Human League, Echo & the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes, OMD, Sparks, The B-52's, Robert Palmer, The Buggles, The Fling Lizards, The Ruts, The Clash, Level 42, Kool & the Gang, Donna Summer, Squeeze, Secret Affair, and many others.
