Limited hardbook packaging. Four CD set. 1982 was a stellar year in pop music. We have already included a fantastic selection on the 1982 Yearbook, the 80-84 Final Chapter, and the ‘vinyl extras’ so far in our appreciation of the year. Those tracks were generally the bigger hits of the year, with their chart achievement a factor in their inclusion – however – that’s not the whole singles story of the year, and our celebration of 1982 wouldn’t be complete without shining a light on some of that year’s singles that have been compiled much less frequently over the past 40 years. Welcome to THE VAULT for 1982. Some of the tracks included were Top 40 hits, some missed the chart completely. Some were representative of massive selling albums, and some were big hits in the U.S. and not in the U.K, but all are part of the wonderful pop story of 1982. Includes tracks by The Cure, Bauhaus, David Sylvian & Ryuichi Sakamoto, The Police, The Who, Steve Winwood, Elton John, Elvis Costello, The Clash, Theatre Of Hate, The Teardrop Explodes, Mike Oldfield, Culture Club, Spandau Ballet, Level 42, Bananarama, Toyah, Visage, Blancmange, Zaine Griff, Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force, George Clinton, Dazz Band, Blue Rondo A La Turk, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, John Mellencamp, and many others.
