So80s are a series of compilation albums curated by deejay/producers Blank & Jones featuring 80's music. They were released on CD and some in digital formats from 2009 to 2019 and included 24 albums.[1]

Background

Frustrated with finding 80's 12" mixes on CD's Black and Jones set out on a mission to releases 80's 12' compilations of their favorite tunes.[1]

The series had 13 compilation volumes (1-13) of various artists, 2 more compilations of various artists, including So80s presents Formel Eins, So80s Presents ZTT[2] and 9 compilations dedicated to specific artists, including Kajagoogoo,[3] Ultravox, Heaven 17, Billy Idol, Culture Club, Falco,[4]Sandra,[5] Alphaville[6][7][8][9] and OMD.[10]

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.[11]
