V.A. - Pop-In Vol. 1-3

These three volumes of mainly british pop-music were released by Elevator Music Co. How it goes with compilations of that genre there are some good, some bad and some silly songs included. Much of the material was never compiled before. I have once downloaded it at soulseek and sadly no artwork was attached.
