Identifying a Mystery Cassette Tape?

Hey. Around 1990, my dad went to the US for a year. Among other things he brought back a cassette tape I'm trying to identify. We used to listen to it all the time on our road trips, hence it was referred to as simply "car tape" by me and my sister.

It had an orange/yellow cover and included the tracks below. Generally it was late 80's music.

Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True
Phil Collins - Two Hearts
Beach Boys - Kokomo
Europe - The Final Countdown
Marillion - Kayleigh

We think it also had Eagles - Hotel California, but we're not 100% sure and it doesn't really fit the late 80's theme.

The cassette tape is long gone and we're trying to rebuild the track list, but it's been 30 years, so it's a bit tough. If anyone knows of the tape that I'm trying to describe, it would be a great if you could share any info.

You might find it here:

I used the search and then narrowed it to only compilations and only cassettes. There are 81 entries. I looked at a few of them but didn't see your list but you might recognize the tape cover there. You could try looking for another artist and song on your list to see if you can find it.

Good luck and let us know if you figure out which one it is.

Oh Boy. I checked a few without luck and then... found this:
www.discogs.com/.../15319252-Various-For-Night-Riders....
That's exactly what I was looking for! My sister will be so thrilled, at least as much as I am now! Thank you!
Also interesting how wrong I was about the track list. There was another a bit newer CD set that I mixed up tracks from:
www.discogs.com/.../1136563-Various-The-Rock-Collection....
So many fond childhood memories connected to this tape and CD set. You really made my day. Warm hugs from Poland!
