| Like fine wine, Kylie's music has aged gracefully over the years. With the rise of "old skool" and her rise back to superstardom, PWL is at last getting the recognition it deserves. Greatest Hits shares a similar track listing to Kylie's 1992 best of but there are notable inclusions and exceptions on this newer collection. Absent from the first anthology, single versions of "Finer Feelings" (Brothers In Rhythm 7" Mix) and "What Do I Have To Do?" (7" Mix) are at last included. The worldwide smash "It's No Secret" doesn't make it on to this collection but strangely the "B" side "Say the Word--I'll Be There" does. Commercially available for the first time, and last heard on the 1990 Enjoy Yourself tour), the sexy Oz Tour Mix of "Locomotion" features on the bonus mix CD. The collection adds weight to Kylie's early mentor Pete Waterman's assertion that Stock, Aitken and Waterman would one day be viewed as the 1980s equivalent of Motown. Who would have thought back in 1988 that "I Should Be So Lucky" and "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi" would become such gems? --John Galilee |
