Huge Pop hits from Madness, Dexys Midnight Runners, The Specials and UB40 lead into fantastic lesser compiled songs from David Sylvian, Elton John, Elvis Costello and The Attractions, and Tom Robinson, before some rock from Pretenders, Slade and the timeless 'Don't Stop Believin'' from Journey – and signing off with classics from The World's Famous Supreme Team, Debbie Harry, and the sublime seasonal favourite from Waitresses.
The second disc opens with a stellar run of Synth-Pop including from Gary Numan, Midge Ure and Mick Karn, The Human League, Japan, Heaven 17, Thomas Dolby, and Soft Cell, before Post-Punk hits from The Undertones, Siouxsie And The Banshees, XTC and Adam and The Ants. Pop nuggets from Toyah, Marilyn, and Nik Kershaw lead into the Funk of 'Hot Water' from Level 42, Shakatak, and the rarely compiled 'Venceremos' from Working Week.
The final disc opens with the massive No. 1 'It's My Party' from Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin, alongside Pop gold from Kim Wilde, Ultravox and Spandau Ballet.
