Good clean up job of late 80's hits
Review written by John Fitzgerald, April 13th, 2005

From what I understand, the version of "Talk to me" that is present on this disc is the one which was originally planned for release on Stevie's "Rock a little" solo album but Nicks did not like the results so the track was re-recorded later. "Talk to me" here seems to have been done in a higher key and it does seem bland next to the effective RAL version so it's easy to see why she wasn't impressed with this version though it does make for an interesting listen nevertheless. As for the rest, this is a good clean up of many one hit wonders of the late 80's era. INXS' "Need you tonight" is a strumming clap. Oddly, Lou Gramm appears twice on this album, first with his light solo track "Midnight blue" and then later with Foreigner on "Say you will" which is as watered down as they got. There are highlights though like Belinda Carlisle's breezy "Mad about you", Taylor Dayne's fast likable shouter "Tell it to my heart" & the shaking synth instrumental "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer (in it's smooth, more poppy side of Tangerine Dream style way). Michael Damien's remake of "Rock on" is a teen pulser that always has and always will push the right buttons in kids, unfortunately. Expose's "Point of no return" is faceless up beat synth, Debbie Gibson's "Only in my dreams" is weedy chirp, Jody Watley's "Looking for a new love" is stomping mechanics, Billy Vera And The Beaters' "At this moment" is slow dragging sentimentality but Jan Hammer's "Miami vice theme" sounds better now than it did back in the day though it's not as useful as something like, say for instance, "Axel F". Culture Club's "Move away" is a bland peppy snapper, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam's "Lost in emotion" tries for Ronnie Spector type innocence but fails, Tiffany's "I think were alone now" is a manufactured rehash, Billy Ocean's "Loverboy" is a smooth galloper that isn't really my thing but I respect that many did like this song. Mr. Mister's "Kyrie" is a dated howler, REO Speedwagon's "Can't fight this feeling" is a formulamatic balladish melter and Paul Young's "Every time you go away" is an edited swayer of a cover of the Daryl Hall soul nugget. The Stevie Nicks rarity spoken of above has turned up on a few compilations like this but this is the one that gives you the most for your money.
