Pure 80s - The Ultimate DVD Box, a 3 DVD box-set in a outer boxed case  from Universal Music, released in USA in 2006.
No way do I find this DVD box ultimate, except maybe for some tracks in DVD 1 and DVD 2.

Perhaps because I'm not into headbanging anthems, I do not find DVD 3 enjoyable.
Never heard of most of the tracks on DVD 3 either.

Nevertheless, there are some interesting videos here. For example, Men Without Hats - Safety Dance,
Bananrama - Cruel Summer,Styx - Mr Roboto, Suzanne Vega - Luka

If you have never purchased an 80s DVD box set before, this would be an interesting purchase. Otherwise,
you would find that you already have most of the videos on DVD1 and DVD2.
