These 80's hit songs mentally took me back to my dating years, a time when life was fun. I wish there were more songs to the collection. I would like more Skid Row and Bullet Boys. They are four great CD's with some great songs! I don't usually purchase music from TV ads. I usually buy from retail stores and only buy specific CD's for certain songs. I am glad I purchased this CD set!

This is the best set put together that I have ever seen or heard! The mix is perfect on the CD's. The only thing that I would change is move put all the songs on 1 and 2 to 1 disc and 2 and 3 to disc number 2 and put them in ONE cd case that holds the 2. It's a little clumbersome to take all 4 cases with you when your out.
