The Best Of Virgin Music - Vinyl LP Record (VG)

Record -VG

Cover - G+

A powerhouse 80s compilation featuring some of the most recognisable and radio-friendly hits of the decade. This Virgin release captures the height of synth-pop, new wave, and chart-driven crossover pop.

UB40’s “Red Red Wine” remains a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, while Culture Club’s “Karma Chameleon” is one of the defining pop singles of the era. Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” continues to be a generational anthem, and Phil Oakey & Giorgio Moroder’s “Together In Electric Dreams” delivers pure electronic nostalgia.

With additional strong cuts from OMD, Mike Oldfield, China Crisis, Jimmy Nail and Julian Lennon, this is a genuinely playable compilation rather than a filler-heavy budget pressing. Ideal for casual listeners and serious 80s collectors alike.
