Berlinda Carlisle... Carlisle is "Circles in the Sand. I bought this collection strictly for the "Bonus" disc! My all time favorite song by Ms. " On the bonus Cd, it's over seven minutes (and a very good mix, for once!). Don't get me wrong, the entire collection is very good. A good collection for the money. Get your copy and enjoy! Five stars. . .
Updated 03-23-2007: I Paid $24/US for the disk in Jan. 2006 (just an FYI!).
Summer feeling!
Songs like Heaven is a place on earth, La Luna, Circles in the Sand and I get Weak all remind us of the glory days of the eighties and fills us with the summer feeling. This is a record with wonderful pop/rock songs performed by one of the most beutiful voices within the genre. High choruses, well performed music and the world class voice of the beutiful Belinda Carlisle makes this music fit for all kinds of events. The second CD also includes excellent dance versions of Heaven is a place on earth, I get weak, Circles in the sand, as well as some other hits from the first CD. Highly recommended if you like the voice of Belinda! But who doesn't?

OVER PRICED CD
And the biggest ripoff, is you cannot get "In Our Wildest Dreams" (From Mannequin) anywhere. I cannot believe ANYONE could give give this CD 4 and 5 stars WITHOUT "Mad About You". Those are my two favorite Belinda songs, and until they come up with a CD that has "In Our Wildest Dreams", I will stick to the single disk. Simply put this is an over priced CD.
It may be missing Mad About You, but this is great stuff !
This collection is not available in the United States so it was an awesome treat to hear a new much more upbeat pressing of (We Want) The Same thing, as well as the 3 new songs on this album. Having followed Belinda Carlisle from her Go-Go days to solo career and back to the Go-Go's and now this album, one thing remains: Belinda has the most powerful, expressive voice of any female pop vocalist. All God's Children is the happiest sounding Carlisle ever! A Prayer For Everyone is another gem. . . not as cheery as All God's Children but the message is the same and having been produced by the Guru's who did Believe for cher, this track too is very very worthwile. BUY THIS album!! You will NOT regret it. The Bonus CD of remixes is good the 2 B sides should have been put on to the Live Your Life Be Free album but including them on this collection is good too.
worth the extra money
It would have been a huge hit considering it was done by the same people that wrote "Believe" for Cher. Buy this album now only because the 3 new songs are some of the best solo songs she has done! "A Prayer for Everyone" should have been released in America. It has that same disco beat that was the rage at the time. The lyrics are wonderful and it is one of Belinda's best performances on record. The message is one that we all can relate to. I wish she was as big in the US as she is in Europe! The 2nd disc of remixes is for fans only. They are really dated sounding and not that interesting. The unreleased songs are nice to have but nothing remarkable. Still I will never trade this in or throw it away! I LOVE the 3 new songs on the first disc.
