Hits 8 is a 33-track compilation album released in the summer of 1988 by CBS, WEA and BMG Records in the UK. It was released as a double LP, MC and CD. Also known as The Hits Album 8, the compilation was successful and reached #2 in the UK Albums Chart (held off by its rival album Now 12) and achieved a Platinum BPI award. Several songs are given an early fade, possibly in an attempt to reduce the overall running time to around 60 minutes per disc. The Desireless track "Voyage Voyage" is the PWL remix, and had previously appeared in its original mix on Hits 7. rdf:langString
