By the power of Grayskull, the ‘80s are back with the We Are the ‘80s CD collections arrival in stores on July 18th. Also make sure to tune into Regis and Kelly throughout the week of August 8th to catch the We Are the ‘80s artists performing live!

In an unprecedented co-venture between Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Bmg Music Entertain­ment, and VH1 Classic, a unit of Viacom, a new series of CDs entitled We Are the ‘80s brings the most influential artists of the decade back into the spotlight where they belong – underscored by a full-scale U.S. tour this summer 2006, headlined by Rick Springfield with special guests Loverboy, Eddie Money, and Scandal, four of the artists featured in the series.

A quarter century after the premiere of MTV at 12:01 a.m., on August 1, 1981, the cataclysmic changes brought about by the first decade of the video revolution are continuing to be seen and heard in the music of today’s twenty-somethings’ artists. Celebrating Bangles, Loverboy, Eddie Money, and Scandal (all on Columbia/ Legacy), Bow Wow Wow and Rick Springfield (on RCA/Legacy), and A Flock Of Seagulls (on Jive/Legacy), the first seven We Are the ‘80s collections will arrive in stores on July 18th, boosted by a high-profile media and marketing campaign that will be underway all summer. The title of the series comes from the popular “We Are the ‘80s” blocks of video programming that regularly air on VH1 Classic.

With Music Tone ringtones, when your phone rings, you will hear your favorite songs from the ’80s! Available on compatible Cingular, Sprint and T-Mobile handsets for customers in the U.S. only. Verizon Wireless, AllTel and U.S. Cellular customers can find these and other ’80s ringtones on the Sony Music Box service available on these carriers.
