By Peter Durward Harris #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This review relates to the compilation Bonnie Tyler: The Best and not to any other compilation with a similar title, which may have a completely different track listing. Amazon often link products incorrectly for review purposes, especially if they have similar or identical titles.

This compilation focuses on Bonnie's eighties music recorded for CBS, but her four UK hits for RCA (Lost in France, More than a love, It's a heartache, Married men) are also included under license. So this collection contains all of Bonnie's UK hits, plus a selection of her other tracks from the eighties.

Apart from the RCA hits already mentioned (two of which made the UK top ten), Bonnie's other UK hits to be found here are Total eclipse of the heart (a number one hit), A rocking good way (a top five hit duet with Shaking Stevens), Holding out for a hero (a number two hit) and three minor hits, these being Have you ever seen the rain (a cover of the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic), Faster than the speed of night and Loving you is a dirty job.

Also here is Bonnie's original recording of The best. Generally known as Simply the best, it completely missed the charts, but Tina Turner covered the song a year later and had a major international hit with it. Another song that you may be familiar with is To love somebody. Originally written and recorded by the Bee Gees, the song has been a hit for several different singers around the world. Nina Simone (in 1969) and Jimmy Somerville (in 1990) both took it into the UK top ten.

There are many Bonnie Tyler compilations to choose from. I wouldn't describe this as the strongest but it contains all the essential tracks that most people expect and it is reasonably priced.

If you like rock music, pop music or country music this is the album for you! It has it all! Bonnie Tyler may of only had a few hits, Total eclipse of the heart, Its a Heartache and Holding Out For A Hero but this album Is amazing, Im going to run through the track listing and give the song my comment:

1. Total eclipse of the heart. Greatest song shes ever done, very emotional and very powerful! A great Power ballad

2. Faster than the speed of night. Fast and rocky! very good and fun!

3. Have you ever seen the rain. A Great cover makes it into an arena Rock anthem!

4. If you were a woman (and I was a man). Great pop song! Very good chours to sing along to!

5. Here she comes. A good song not one of her best but a good pop song!

6. Loving you's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. Amazing! Great deut! Very emotional and powerful!

7. Getting so excited. I have to be honest i dont like this one its quite boring!

8. Save up all your tears. Not bad, chers cover version was better!

9. Best. Again not bad, but Tina Turners cover version was better!

10. Holding out for a hero. Great song! Its pop, Dance and a bit of rock chucked in to!

11. Married men. This is one of her country songs i dont like it!

12. Rockin' good way (to mess around and fall in love). Her worst song. Its camp and just bad!

13. More than a lover. Another country one, this song grows on you over time! its very good

14. Don't turn around. A good song! One of her rock ones. I do like this!

15. Lovers again. Very good a really sad and romantic love song!

16.Lost in France. A great pop song! it gets stuck in your head and its a good tune!

17. It's a heartache. Another country one! its here best and very catchy!

18. To love somebody. A good cover song! Very catchy!

Overall 4 stars. The bad points are:
Total eclipse of the heart is made shorter!
Its missing very good songs : Tears, Take Me Back, Straight From the heart, Ravising and Rebel without a clue!

So 4 stars and a great buy!

This CD is a good introduction to anyone who is looking for an overview of the music of Bonnie Tyler. "The Best" focuses mainly of her CBS recordings in the mid 80s when she had huge hits with "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", "Holding Out For A Hero", "Faster Than The Speed Of Night" and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain". Here you will also find choice album tracks, a hit duet with Shaken Stevens and four of her early hits, "Lost In France", "More Than A Lover", "It's A Heartache" and "Married Men".
If you like good rock music sung by a powerful female artist or a diehard Bonnie fan or simply as casual admirer, this CD is well worthing having even though there a better compilations out there such as "Total Eclipse -The Anthology".
