Advantages: great eighties pop

Disadvantages: some lesser known songs

One of my favourite female singers from the eighties, this album gathers some of Kim's biggest hits and gives you the chance to relive those glorious pop moments.

Who:

Initially a wild punk kid with attitude, before taming herself and becoming a staple part of the eighties brat pack along with Kylie and Jason.

On this album:

'You Keep Me Hanging On' might well be a cover, but she pulls it off with bravado. An energetic europop workout which builds and builds. Kim's vocals are sexy and assured and she really does it justice. 'You Came' is a splendid synth driven pop song and was one her biggest hits. I also rate 'Never Trust A Starnger' with its knowing lyrics and thunderous rhythm, it will have you itching to dance. Kim also shows her tender side with the heartwrenching 'Four Letter Word' one of her more refined moments that capturse her delicate vocals superbly.

Critique:

It might be called 'The Collection' and there are a lot of hits collected, but also some songs that just won't register! I don't remember 'Breakin' Away' and 'Time' was never a huge success. That said, the ones you will recognise will make up for it and make you smile.

Verdict: Generally available to buy on budget, fans of eighties pop should invest in it

Summary: good album of hits
