5.0 out of 5 stars Genius 80's synth gets first time ever CD release !, 22 Feb 2007
.

Anyone who may be unfamiliar with these tracks from UK pop duo "Dollar" released for the first time on CD, only has to listen to the genius of Trevor Horn's production on The Buggles, ABC, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Seal to know what they've been missing.

This is Trevor Horn at his best !!!

Trevor's complex arrangements on the likes of the UK top 5 hits "Mirror Mirror (Mon Amour)", "Give Me Back My Heart" and top 20 hits "Hand Held In Black And White", "Videotheque" have stood the test of time so well that unless you had heard them back then, you could be fooled into not knowing they had been produced in 1981-1982.

The production here was way ahead of it's time and it's clear to see why ABC's Martin Fry on hearing "Hand Held In Black And White" asked Trevor to do the same for ABC's "Lexicon Of Love".

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the remainder of this album reveals that Dollar were not afraid to experiment as producers. They succeed in pulling off some pleasing productions from the top 40 hit "Give Me Some Kinda Magic" to the darker electronic sounding "The Second Time Around" and from the haunting, touching "Pink And Blue" to the fun pop of "Dangerous Blondes".

I was all the more pleased when I realized the CD has been remastered. I found it obvious on listening that a lot of time and effort has gone into restoring these UK synth pop classics to sounding their best. Add to that some well crafted 2006 mixes and for the price... It's a bargain

A real treat for all fans of classic 80's synth pop !!!

May be one day they will release an expanded "The Dollar Album " remastered to CD. Now that really would be a synth fan's dream come true.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally - the original recordings on CD, 23 Aug 2006
By A. Huebner "Andrew Hyde" (Düsseldorf) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Finally. After all these years. For the first time on CD: the original Dollar recordings from their early 80's WEA period. I never got around to buying a Dollar album back then, but I do remember hearing them on BFBS and humming their tunes. "Hand Held In Black And White", "Give Me Back My Heart", Mirror Mirror" and "Videotheque" were the Trevor Horn produced hits - irresisitible. "The Second Time Around" is another wonderful song, self-penned by the pretty Thereza Bazar and the cute David Van Day. (These songs - as well as "Give Me Some Kind Of Magic" were included on their third album, called "The Dollar Album".)
Some of the earlier songs such as "Radio" or "The Girls Are Out To Get Ya" are, admittedly, a little less convincing, not only production-wise, but especially when you listen to David's vocals on these tracks and then skip to "The Second Time Around" and see how much he had matured within a year or two. All in all, it's wonderful to be able to hear those long-lost tracks again, and we may be hopeful that Warner might release "The Dollar Album" in its entirety on CD after all.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'It's About Time', 6 Jun 2006
By Mr. Symon D. Curnow "symon curnow" (South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At long last.
Its what every avid DOLLAR fan has been waiting for.
Why oh Why has it taken so long for the powers that be to finally allow the release of the WEA recordings?
Although i have yet to both recieve and listen to this release i feel confident that it's going to be well worth the wait.
I have a copy of 'The Dollar Cassette' and it has found a perminant home for years in what is now my households only remaining cassette player.

Can't wait to hear: Videotech, Hand Held In Black And White, Mirror Mirror, Give Me Back My Heart and Give Me Some Kinda Magic in glorious CD format.

"POPTASTIC"
