A poor representation of Miss Carlisle's discography...
Belinda Carlisle has always produced first-rate pop music, and this CD is a poor representation of what she has to offer. I'll keep this simple. Sure, a few of her most popular songs("Heaven Is A Place On Earth," "Summer Rain," and "I Get Weak) are present, however, this collection ignores material from Carlisle's albums "Belinda," "Real" and "A Woman And A Man. " Some of her biggest hits like "Mad About You," "Circle In The Sand" and "Leave A Light On" are ignored in favor of album filler like "Little Black Book. "

While there, to date, exists no CD that contains a comprehensive overview of Belinda Carlisle's wondrous career, I recommend the "Belinda Carlisle: Her Greatest hits" CD over this one.

This CD is just an arbitrary collection that lacks quality and focus.


Belinda still no.1
Don't get me wrong, they're all great songs - and this is probably my favourite Belinda Compilation so far - but it seems a questionable marketing move. A somewhat odd compilation that sees top ten chart hits like (We Want) The Same Thing and In Too Deep make way for album songs like Fool For Love and Love Revolution. Great songs through and through - and these are all ones that Belinda herself has commented are her personal favourites - this compilation show so many could've been hits. . . But we all wanted something more didn't we? Some new material, perhaps.


Heaven On Earth... Once Again!!
First of all, I know alot of bel fans aren't too happy about this, because it contains album tracks on it. Virgin Records has yet again released another collection of Belindas work. First of all, I think it's awesome!! Some of these album tracks have not been remastered until now! There are some wonderful pieces on here that have never been fairely treated compared to her other solo work. The hit songs such as the #1 hit "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" and the #2 US single "I Get Weak" as well as "Do You Feel Like I Feel?" "Summer Rain" and "Little Black Book". Some of my favorite album tracks are "Love Revolution" "Fool For Love" "We Can Change" and "Valentine". Each song is unique! I wish they did include some songs from "Real" on the album since it's a Virgin Records-Only album. So no songs From "Belinda" and "A Woman And A Man" are included, but the 2 new songs from "A Place On Earth" are included. A nice photo inside as well as the discography mentioned :).
