Comment:

Disc 1 of 2 (so far) of an expanded compilation inspired by the 1980 K-Tel album "Rock 80." The theme is songs which got mainstream airplay ca. 1980 by bands that had either emerged from the postpunk / new wave underground, or songs by established artists which somehow owed some debt to said movement. Titles indicated with an asterisk were on the original K-Tel comp.
