Disco de Donna Summer: “Greatest Hits”

What a waste of time this one is. The only reason to buy it is the cover where Donna looks brilliant. A lot of hits are here ("Last Dance", "Bad Girls", "I Feel Love", etc.) but also many are missing ("Heaven Knows", Dim All The Lights", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough", etc.). And once again "State Of Independence" lurks its head up in a place that an eighties track like the sweet "There Goes My Baby" or even the fun "Dinner With Gershwin" should be placed. The hits are also edits and nothing special. Spend a few more bucks and get the much better "Endless Summer" that comes with two new tracks. This looks like a bad rehash of that. And if you save up a few bucks, get "Donna Summer Anthology".

A more devoted Summer fan than I, there could not be. But let's face it... how many Greatest Hits Collections does one artist need - and all from the same label? From Donna's Greatest Hits/On The Radio double lp to the double disk Anthology and the Endless Summer Collection (to name only a few), Mercury/Polygram needs to know when to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. No matter how you package it... it's still the same old songs - as great as they may be. The fans aren't that gullable.

The marketing group at the label really need to stop looking at making a few quick bucks and listen to what the fans are begging for. If increased sales is what they're looking for, why not try something NEW? The Summer archives are packed with Unreleased Tracks(Tearin Down The Walls), B-Sides(Face The Music), Live Tracks and the long sought after 12" mixes of Dinner With Gershwin, All Systems Go, and all the Extended Mixes from the Stock Aitken Waterman "APAT" penned album. How about some '98 Remixes - other labels have done it with both Blondie and Diana Ross.

Donna proves time and time again that she hasn't lost her touch with Billboards 1994 #1 Dance Hit "Melody Of Love" or this years Grammy Winner "Carry On".

Autumn may be rapidly approaching... but SUMMER is here to stay. Send a message to the record company - give this one a PASS.

I was really disappointed with this CD because of Donna Summers greatest songs were blatantly left out of this CD!

All the songs are great. It would be better if they had made HOUSE MIXES of the songs. I will be very happy when she does a remix CD of songs from her last 5 CD's; not counting all the greatest hits. I am a big fan of Donna's but I can't continue to buy the same songs with the same versions over and over. Lets make some HOUSE MIXES of the songs. I still love you Donna.

the cd was in good condition, however I was disappointed with the quality of the music. I know that she sang a lot better than what was recorded.
