Am 26.3. steht der zweite Teil der so80s Reihe von Blank & Jones wiederum als 3CD-Pack in den Regalen, während die Online-Version bereits eine Woche früher zu erwerben ist. Das von Teil 1 bewährte Konzept wird beibehalten: CD1 enthält einen Softmix der Titel, CDs 2 und 3 dann die restaurierten Original 12"-Versionen in voller Schönheit.
Wie bereits beim ersten Teil irritiert das Tracklisting ein wenig wenn Namen wie Tina Turner, Matia Bazar oder Freddie Mercury auftauchen. Andererseits kann man sich schon jetzt nach den akustisch aufgebrezelten Maxi-Versionen von Corey Heart oder Kissing The Pink die Finger lecken! Die Online Version wartet übrigens mit 5 zusätzlichen Videos, einem B&J Remix von Kim Wildes 'Kids in America' sowie dem 'Behind the Wheel/Route66 Megamix' von Depeche Mode auf.
