Format:Audio CD
This Bananarama remaster series is a terrific and unexpected surprise. A quick glance at the track listing will tell you that, yes, this is the album which contains 'Venus'... but it's also brimming with other great (and often overlooked) songs like 'A Trick of the Night' and the hugely addictive title track.
But the real reason to celebrate and value this particular re-issue above and beyond the others, is that it's the first time (outside of an obscure - and now deleted - 80s compilation album) that we've been able to get the single version of 'More Than Physical' on CD. It's enjoyable within the context of the album in its original state, but the single version is even better.
I'd recommend the other studio album re-releases in this series, even though they are sometimes a little hit and miss. But this one is the most consistent of the bunch, and - for retro value alone - essential.

Firstly this Cd only has two SAW tracks on it (Venus and More Than Physical) In my opinion having these two tracks spoils the whole atmosphere of the CD. The rest of the CD was produced by Swain and Jolley famous for producing Spandau Ballets Hits and Alison Moyet's "Alf". The tracks are sophisticated, serious and moody and include some of the best vocals from Bananarama. The singles "A Trick of The Night" and "Do Not Disturb" didn't fair as well as "Venus" in the charts but they have aged well and still sound fresh today. The opening track "True Confessions" is a corker, and "Dance with A Stranger" can only be described as "classy pop" that you would expect someone like Sade to have sung, however Bananarama pull it off beautifully. "A Perfect World" continues the classy sophisticated feel of the album only to then be spoilt by "Venus" a song I do love, but it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. "Do Not Disturb" another excellent track is as poppy as the other tracks get. This album is hugely underated. If it had been released by an unknown artist it would have been deemed a classic. It IS a classic in my view. They went on to have some of their greatest hits after this album, but in my opion this was the best work they ever did and is a far cry from what they went on to do. If you haven't heard this CD I gaurentee you'll be shocked as to how good it actually is!

I never bought this album originally as i was never really into tapes and LPs were big and could suffer from the odd scratch or two.Yet, as i grew up in the 80s and loved most of the pop back then,i do like Bananarama and the 4 singles on this album, especially Venus which was a number 1 in the US charts.Dissapointing to say that much of the album is made up of fillers including the title track ,which also opens the album.I think the bananas were trying out a new approach with their music which i think was a brave thing to do at the time,yet they quickly reverted to the more pop and upbeat follow up WOW in 1987. However this album was well worth a listen.This 25th Anniversary Edition boasts a full 24 bit digital remastering along with rare b sides and 7" versions of more than physical, which i think is a better poppier version compared to the original album version and trick of the night from the tv show "In at the deep end".It arrived promptly within a few days- as i live in Rep of Ireland, and it is not at all pricey for such an expanded and remastered album.I will definitley be checking out similar releases from other 80s and 90s chart heroes.[ASIN:B000N2G1G2 True Confessions: Remastered & Expanded]]
