Released in 1981, ‘1981 – Straight Ahead’ was a Various Artist Compilation by K-Tel Records, available on Vinyl Record and Audio Cassette
This album has never been released on CD
This version is CD Quality, nearly all songs are from various CDs, Remastered / Auto-leveled so it sounds ‘RAAAD’
The only difference will be some songs are ‘Album’ versions and not ‘Radio’ versions.
Radio versions were shorter to make them fit on the album.
Also Note, older albums (Like This One) sometimes have Vinyl mastered singles to CD on rare occasions, It was how the record company’s brought out some CDs.
Tracks to Ponder Over =
#02 Johnny Warman – Screaming Jets (Amazing track, sounds lush on a good set-up/headphones)
#06 Genesis – Abacab (Im a huge Genesis fan, Had to include… Crank it up, feel that synth)
#17 Moody Blues – Gemini Dream (Magic song, waking up in a Gemini Dream.. Twin Blonds?)
