What was this 80's compilation?

I remember in about 83 or 84 my brother bought this compilation cassette on a school trip to Dublin.It was a sort of Now thats what I call music type comp.The only songs on it that I can remember are Two hearts beat as one by U2,She's in parties by Bauhaus,Telephone Operator by Pete Shelly,Madness Tomorrows Just another day and I think also Snot Rap by Kenny Everitt.It was lost at some point over the years I'm wondering does the playlist ring a bell with anyone?I can't recall what the cover looked like.

After racking my brains further I can remember two more songs that were on it.The Thompson Twins We are Detective and a funk ,disco type song that had a chorus that went"cash,cash,cash money".Can't remember who that was by.

The cover vaguely rings a bell but the songs on it don't match unless maybe there was a part 2.

OOps,dident scroll all the way down.That was it all right.Nice one.Now that I think of it my brothers cassette must have been a bootleg because the songs on part one were listed but diden't actually appear on the tape.I remember now side one was all cheesy disco songs.

I am pretty sure my older brother had it.. and other "top of the pops" type albums too.. always with what I thought were obscure tracks.

I was more of the "Now That's what I Call Music" era... got the first 10 on vinyl!

...then along came my Quo addiction and the rest is 30 year old history!

Looking through the more obscure tracks on youtube.It's all coming back to me now after nearly 30 years.I'd forgotten about this one it has a longer title here http://youtu.be/Yxd_g77aM5A

He also bought another compilation cassette on the schooltrip.It was called Disco US,featuring among others Chic and Herbie Hancock.I did a bit of googling on it and found out it was a bootleg from of all places Saudi Arabia.
