CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada 
2LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada 

'80s Symphonic blends 15 original '80s tracks from across Warner's celebrated catalogue and blends them with brand-new, symphonic arrangements performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.  Among the tracks given the symphonic treatment are The Cars' "Drive," Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It," a-ha's "Take On Me," and David Bowie's "Let's Dance."   While "Let's Dance" was helmed by original producer Nile Rodgers, the other tracks have all been produced by Andy Wright (Simple Minds, Eurythmics, Jeff Beck) at Abbey Road Studios.  Available on CD and digital today, with vinyl to follow on December 7.  Read more here!
