i have 'just say da' and 'just say anything'. it was a pretty good compilation series, actually....

Yes it was; I also like the Just Say Yesterday one that had a bunch of new-wavish hits on it: B-Movie, Madness, Plastic Bertrand, Dead Boys, Rezillos, Undertones, etc. Only bad thing about that one is that it had the short version of Aztec Camera's cover of Jump without the feedback drenched guitar solo. :(

Only just got a player mind.
1st Video - Madness 'Take It Or Leave It'
