Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Sony Special Products' Hits Of series follows a pretty set script. The discs are short at only ten tracks and contain a mix of big hits, middling hits, and totally forgotten songs by pretty well-known artists. It is a unique strategy that brings some interesting songs to light and makes for good listening. The big hit on Hits of 1980 is Kenny Loggins' infectious "I'm Alright." The rest of the tracks are a mix of soft rock misses by Paul Davis ("Do Right"), Dan Fogelberg ("Longer"), and Toto ("99"). Also included is Mickey Gilley's alarmingly stiff take on Ben E. King's classic "Stand by Me." One wishes the disc were longer to take more advantage of the curious song selections. As it is, the short running time makes the disc hard to recommend to anyone but the most devoted '80s fans. ~ Tim Sendra
