The Very Best of the 80s

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

According to an Amazon customer's review (see AR), all of these songs are not performed by the original artist.

(I've listened and the package claims "original artists" and "new recordings"... the reviewer mistakenly believes the claim is "original performance". I am pretty sure most of them are the original artist.)
