So80s (Soeighties)

Blank & Jones

The fundamental concept of the regular „So80s“ triple-CD box sets is strictly divided: while CD 1 features a continuous, hand-crafted non-stop megamix created by Blank & Jones, CD 2 and CD 3 provide the highly valued 12" maxi versions completely unmixed and in their full original length for collectors.
