'80s Compilation Week 2: PURE 80's [1999-2007]

Following three volumes of Pure Disco and one disc each of Pure 60's, Pure 70's and Pure Funk, Universal Music began releasing a series of Pure 80's compact discs featuring not only songs from their considerable holdings but also licensed from every other major label as well.  All are single discs and feature 17-20 tracks from the "Decade of Excess" as stated right above the title on each disc.  (Sony launched its own Pure... series in European markets in 2010 and to date has released a dozen budget-priced 4CD sets.)
