5.0 out of 5 stars
Great collection of Bonnie's music,
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (No. 1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Bonnie never achieved consistent success in Britain or America, though she has fared better in Germany. This compilation includes all Bonnie's British and American hits and a selection of her other songs.The hits include Lost in France, More than a lover, It's a heartache, Married men, Total eclipse of the heart, Faster than the speed of night, Have you ever seen the rain, A rocking good way (with Shaking Stevens), Holding out for a hero and Loving you is a dirty job. The track that Bonnie's committed fans will want this album for is Tyre tracks and broken hearts - it doesn't appear on any of Bonnie's original albums but is taken from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle down the wind. Of the other non-hits, I was particularly pleased to find Bitterblue included. This was a German hit in the early nineties and sparked a revival in Bonnie's career in continental Europe, especially Germany. Goodbye to the island, the title track of her last RCA album, is another excellent choice. Straight from the heart was not a UK hit but was probably a hit somewhere and deserves inclusion. Piece of my heart, Making love out of nothing at all and My guns are loaded are all great songs, superbly performed by Bonnie, but I would have preferred Islands (a Mike Oldfield track featuring Bonnie as vocalist), Louisiana rain (my favorite among her unsuccessful RCA singles) and The best (a Bonnie Tyler original recording that failed to chart until Tina Turner covered it, when it became a major worldwide hit - you may know it as Simply the best). Despite my reservations, this is a very strong collection, which provides a great introduction to Bonnie's music. There are plenty of other compilations around so any other tracks that you want (including Islands, Louisiana rain and The best) are easy to find if you want them.

Broken Hearts Galore,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Bonnie Tyler deserves to be one of the worlds top Rock artists and this album is one that showcases her true talents. Tyre Tracks is one of the most exciting songs around and this again should have been a big hit. It is one of Bonnies greatest performances and it is not known outside her loyal fan base. The final minutes of the song are some of Bonnies finest vocals and send chills up my spine everytime I hear it. A great album and a great addition to any Bonnie collection. Buy it is all I can say ! ! ! !

The Welsh Wonder!,

This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Admittedly this is possibly my third Greatest Hits album from Bonnie, but at least this one features some later tracks. All the obvious ones are here, Holding out for a hero, Lost in France and Total Eclipse of the Heart etc, but the extra ones are superb. Making Love out of Nothing At All is one of her best songs, and this features the slightly extended version rather than the single - worth the money for this treat alone.Also included is the powerful Tyre Tracks and Broken Hearts from the Andrew Lloyd Webber show Whistle Down the Wind. This track alone shows just why Bonnie has been a successful female artist for almost 25 years - the power and energy in her unique voice, in this great song seem to be made for each other. My one complaint about this album is that it doesn't feature the extended version of Total Eclipse of the Heart, which I feel is far superior to the more common single version. However if you are thinking of buying this, then you will probably have that version somewhere else anyway. All in all, this is by far the best greatest hits album she has ever recorded, worth having for the more recent tracks alone.
