Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Kim Wilde still Rocks!.......2005-01-18

This is a Fanastic collection of Pop Songs, gives you great mood and takes you to a Pop Jurney, First track "Go for it" is very 80's pop but then songs getting more mature like "You Keep Me Hangin on" went # 1 in USA and around the world, Another step is a cool Duet with Junior, Cool Pop songs like You Came & Love is Holy are just adorable, there is a great ballad like 4 Letter word & I can't say goodbye, Never trust a stranger takes you to an angry experience of Miss Wilde with great vocals..And album ends with Soul & R&B meets pop "Breakin Away" and ballad "This i swear". I highly recommend anyone who likes Madonna, Kylie, Belinda, Cindy etc get this one its Goodie :)

4 out of 5 stars This is Kim's TOP moment..........2003-01-28

Undoubtly, Kim's career is long gone.
She now is a happy mother, stage musical actress (Tommy) and has not released a record in ages.
But just buy this compilation that sums up all of the singles she released when under contract with MCA and you will be able to refreshen some great moments from your memories.
18 tracks, including the American # 1 hit YOU KEEP ME HANGING ON.
ANOTHER STEP (CLOSER TO YOU) is a nice, rock-driven duet with British '80's black sensation Junior.
YOU CAME is probably the most recognized song for the european market buyers, a real HIT, along with HEY MISTER HEARTACHE (written by Junior) and NEVER TRUST A STRANGER.
FOUR LETTER WORD and I CAN'T SAY GOODBYE are nice ballads, so much as TIME is an uplifting - and under-rated - tune.
LOVE IS HOLY is Kim collaborating with Belinda Carlisle's longtime writing team Rick Nowels (also Madonna...)and Ellen Shipley.
To top it all, Kim's real last hit in Europe, The Bee Gees' cover of IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU is present here.
You were a teenager back then? Then you can't miss this...

5 out of 5 stars The Collection.......2001-12-03

This Collection basically continues after "The Very Best Of Kim Wilde" that has been released in many, and I do mean "many" different formats, such as re-issues. The Collection dates from 1984-1995. This is where you can see the growth in Kim Wilde as an artist. The New Wave is gone, and Pop Is In.

The album opens up with "The Second Time" which I think is a totally hot number! It's very dancey and fun to sing along to.
"Rage To Love" is another pop number, but I don't think it's that good. "You Keep Me Hangin' On" kims biggest single, rocks the place with pain and anger. "Another Step Closer To You" continues and is the original album version, which I prefer over the single version. The seductive "Say You Really Wants Me" heats things up. An extended dance remix of "Hey Mister Heartache" fits in nicely here. The single version of "You Came" with such soul and saddness, is a highlight on the album. The rocking "Never Trust A Stranger" which is more like a sequel to "YKMHO". The slow, and annoying "Four Letter Word". "Love In The Natural Way" is a very beautiful ballad and fits perfectly. "It's Here" an ok-song from her miss "Love Moves" as well as "Time" these songs are gems because "Love Moves" was only released in the UK and was a major flop. One of my favorite songs on here is "Love Is Holy" its a very beautiful up-beat ballad. The cheesy "Who Do You Think You Are". The dance-disco-diva song "If I Can't Have You". Along with her two hits from "Now and Forever" called "Breaking A Way" and "This I Swear"
