Background

Frustrated with finding '80s 12" mixes on CDs, Black and Jones set out on a mission to release '80s 12" compilations of their favourite tunes.
The series had 13 compilation volumes of various artists, 2 more compilations of various artists, including So80s presents Formel Eins, So80s Presents ZTT and 10 compilations dedicated to specific artists, including Kajagoogoo, Ultravox, Heaven 17, Billy Idol, Culture Club, Falco,Sandra, Alphaville, Hubert Kah and OMD.
Some of the albums are only sold from the Black and Jones website. In 2016, the physical issues of the first 5 volumes were discontinued as their licenses expired. However, the first 4 volumes are available only in digital format via EMI, which have only EMI artists.
In 2016, a limited edition box set featuring volumes 1-10 was also released.
