I was just flicking through YouTube today listening to a lot of the stuff from the 80s and it really brought back a load of memories.

Wondering if there's a CD or two out there which might have a good mix of songs from the likes of In Tua Nua, A House, The Stunning, Fountainhead, Waterboys, An Emotional Fish etc.

Good but too many of the famous acts and not enough of the likes of the ones I named. Will keep searching.

Why not just buy their studio CDs? Most have been reissued now. Cry before dawn have a greatest hits CD on sale in Tesco.
