Belinda Carlisle Album: “Place on Earth: Greatest Hits [Bonus CD]”

Great Cds, but the songs Mad about You and I Feel the Magic are excluded from this package. They were hits too.

Belinda Carlisle, is one of the most Underrated artist of our generation, Besides being the lead singer on one of the most important bands in musical history, her solo career has been equally if not superior. This Greatest Hits collection features her best known work plus some unknown tracks that show her underappriciated talent. Its sad though that her hits from her first solo album were excluded. The bonus remix cd is strictly for fans. Very good mixes but compared to today's sound they sound old and dated. but worth having just for nostalgia value. if your a Belinda fan, a go gos fan or just looking for something that youve overlooked the first time you ever heard Belinda carlisle, I suggest you get this album. Its worth every penny.

To those of you who lost track of Belinda Carlisle's career after "Heaven Is a Place On Earth," well, you don't know what you've been missing! And now, with this best-of collection, here's your chance to catch up. Carlisle's recorded output is of consistently high quality and range, and goes beyond her 80s "wall of sound" hits to tracks such as the acoustic "Big Scary Animal," the superb "In Too Deep," and the joyous dance track, "All God's Children." Belinda continues to enjoy remarkable success in Europe and Japan, so get this first-rate compilation and find out why millions of us adore her.

I bought this collection strictly for the "Bonus" disc! My all time favorite song by Ms. Carlisle is "Circles in the Sand." 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!)

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 would have been a huge hit considering it was done by the same people that wrote "Believe" for Cher. 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.
