Origin of the Album

            I was wanting to get rid of excess CDs since the digital age was now in full force.  Some of them were greatest hits CDs of Men At Work, David Bowie, and Duran Duran.  So I took the same approach that I did with the original DJJD Retro 80's Volume 1, and composed those tracks with others I had into a new album.    

Concept and Theme of the Album

            This album was not taking leftover tracks that I did for Volumes 2 through 6.  This was brand new, with a similar theme of Volume 1 - classic hits of the 1980s, primarily from the three artists mentioned above.  
      

Concept and the Album Cover

       Found this great mosaic of 1980s icons in one picture.  So I applied the picture as the front album cover with a border created from the Atari 2600 joystick.  The back album cover is basically a 3D rendering of Pac-Man with Pac-Man font for the album title and song listings.
