DON'T you just hate it when someone comes up with a simple, genius idea you should have had?

Friends Reunited is the internet site which has taken off like a rocket, putting people in touch with everyone they hated in school and wanted to fail and are now glad to discover they did.

Now the clever people who run the site have teamed up with record giant Universal to produce a series of nostalgic compilation albums.

The first is being released through UMTV on January 27, and it's a retrospective of the Eighties, chosen after polling 20,000 people for their favourites.

They're all there: Come on Eileen, Relax, Tainted Love, Stand and Deliver, Move Closer ....

It's also the first compilation album to allow purchasers to download 12 tracks. Look for it at the £12-£15 mark in record shops.
