Comment:

Disc 1 in "The Beat," a series of alt. pop mixes covering ca. 1981-84. This particular disc's angle (to the degree it has one) is songs from and inspired by the classic 1982 K-Tel album "The Beat." (song titles indicated with an asterisk were on the K-Tel original).

The period 1979-1981 is covered in my series "Rock 80" (inspired by the 1980 K-Tel comp of the same name).
