Just saw this site for the first time today (linked from Ausrock). This place is awesome! But it also makes me feel very very old.

Aside from the bona-fide latter-day Joe Cocker classic & the wondrous tonsil's of Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie, this album is a perfect example of what went wrong with music in the 80's. Everything is either smothered in synths (including Mac it must be admitted) &/or is overproduced corporate rock (ie Foreigner/Cher) polished to remove any of the original balls or spontanaiety from what may have been excellent original takes. Or else these songs suffer from both. Even worse, the mighty Dragon, who's run of hits b4 & after this is 2nd to none, resort to covering disco here. A very sad album indeed, especially compared to some of the great 70's comps available on here.
Nonethless you've done a great job catering for all tastes here skids

Cheers
