Great Collection
Go Pat! I heard a year ago that she was going to release an acoustic album of all her hits. This is a good set, but for 5 bucks more, you can get Synchronistic Wanderings Benetars box set that has long versions of all these songs and a killer booklet and demo, alternate versions, unreleased, and rare stuff. Where is it?.


WOW, they REALLY mastered this LOUD!
wikipedia. The music loudness wars continue: primer below

Unfortunately this new collection is a prime offender. It is compressed and brickwall limited within an inch of it's life. Hey record companies, we have our own volume knobs, please stop doing this. It robs the recordings of all dynamics and is very fatiguing to listen to over the course of the album. Also, when musicians in a band do a "build up" where say, the guitars and drums get louder, it'd be nice and accurate on the CD if the volume would actually change and get, louder. Here during the numerous buildups in songs, "I need a Lover" is a prime example, the volume level stays the EXACT same throughout. That's not how the band played it, how they recorded it or how it used to sound on the original records. TOO much compression. A shame.


More!!! I want........MOREW!!!!
The extended mix of "Sex. I've been a serious PB fan ever since I first heard "Sex As A Weapon" on the radio here in the UK - I was hooked!!!! Couldn't make up my mind whether to buy the 7" or 12" and ended up buying both as well as Seven The Hard Way album!!!!!

Yes, yet another compilation from Pat (who is on my MYSPACE friends!!!!) but what would have been great for me would have been the inclusion of a few original extended mixes. . . . " is AWESOME and so is the dub remix (both found on the 12" single). The video version of "Love Is A Battlefield is also superb. Come ON Capitol. . . . . . . . . please please please PLEASE can we have these original extended mixes on an official CD release!!!.


Benatar hits us again
The only downfall of this CD is it is yet again another greatest hits. Simply said, Pat Benatar has the greatest female voice in rock. Her new paired down version of Everytime I Fall Back however, makes this CD a must have for all Benatar fans.


constant compilations for Pat Benatar
It seemed like all of these other cd's only went up on her hits until 1993 and we know that there was hits after that. There has been a lot of compilations for Pat Benatar and I know her music is the best thing ever but once "Synchronistic Wanderings" appeared in the market it was known which compilation CD was the best one. I also noticed that no one knows how to spell on this cd either such as "Painted Desert" appears as "Painted Dessert" I was laughing and I am just imagining Pat singing about "Painted Dessert"lol!! anyways. . . this cd is good in a pinch other than that "Synchronistic Wanderings" is the best one so far!.
