K's 1982 SPECIAL VA - The 175 Best Singles of 1982 (Super Deluxe Edition) [2022] (9 x CD's)

K's 1982 SPECIAL

VA - The 175 Best Singles of 1982 (Super Deluxe Edition) [2022] (9 x CD's)

NEW and FULLY UPDATED! Better sounding, higher quality remasters, updated versions.  

1982 was a stellar year for music, so much so, this is the largest number of singles per year I've compiled to date: 175!!!

After extensive research into virtually every single released in the UK, USA and around the world in 1982, I've put together the absolute cream of the crop of the year. Many many tracks have been included that you just never see on officially released compilations, plus I've used the very latest digital and best sounding remasters available. I've also included quite a few hard to find and rare original 7" single versions, many released for the first time on CD as part of a number of recent super deluxe editions. The cover art features a record shop with window display posters of record sleeve art taken from 1982 featuring the biggest selling and most prominent artists of the year, and who had the biggest hits.

Hope you enjoy these 175 great tracks!

K.

  4. Great year...and Great Comp! Especially appreciate you hunting out those original single versions. Always bothers me when labels just grab whatever's closest at hand for their comps...and then we don't hear the version we were all jamming to in 1982.

    Thanks K!!!

    You can continue to astound with your careful research and great sound.

  5. Thanks K and Butterboy for another incredible set of music!
    I sort of turned off current radio play music after the early 1970s for various reasons. This set will give me a chance to listen to the highlights of a year that I missed. Thanks so much!
    Happy New Year!
    Cheers,

  7. All the respect in the world to K for compiling another incredible survey. As someone who's struggling to slap together a 30+ track "best of 2022" mixtape right now, I stand in great admiration of K's continual amazing work. Well done, old top!
