Good cd ,price was good

Great album

It's Kim Wilde from the 80's ....enough said!

ordered this for myself over christmas time, unfortunetly i guess due to really difficult weather conditions we had at that time one order got misslaid in postal system, i let amazon know and they send another order out in time for christmas, well done amazon! the cd is great , lots of songs you ll remember and wonder where the years have flown to! well worth buying

This compilation works for everybody...new fans who may first be exposed to her can jump in and get all the major hits, older fans who never got around to buying one of the other compilations will find this a great place to find some great pop music memories from the 80's and 90's and the true devoted fans will be thrilled with the new track "Loved" that was written by her longtime writer Ricki Wilde (her brother). This compilation combines her early 80's hits from the RAK label with the later hits into the 90's from MCA. The older stuff is what we Americans called New Wave while her later output was pure pop. The new track "Loved" is more like her last few hits. The remixes are club friendly and (to my knowledge) previously not released on CD. A great place to start or a great place to sit and remember how great and underappreciated she truly was. It is worth the price just for the new tracks!

I like this album I have been looking for

A brilliant CD from Kim with all her hits in the 80's! She was the supporting act for Michael Jackson's tour of the UK too.

Bought this because of a chance rediscovery and for nostalgia for that golden pop age. This is a great compilation of a real star!

First off, I want to get it out in the open and confess my admiration for Kim Wilde's undeniable good looks. She is a woman who truly just got more beautiful with age. "The Very Best of Kim Wilde" is a U.K. import on EMI and the booklet features some rare photos of Kim in her early '80s punky phase complete with a Pat Benatar-like hairdo. This particular set (which is not the first Kim Wilde Best-of compilation to hit the market) was released in 2001, so Kim would have been around 40 on its cover (having been born in late 1960). Man oh man does she look gorgeous in this photo! I could literally stare at this picture for hours on end. But I digress. The fact remains though that Kim is one of those rare pop artists who is just as strong on genuine talent as she is in the looks department, and this is a great retrospective of her career from her beginnings with her first hit "Kids in America" in 1981 all the way through the '80s and beyond. It shows her evolution from her early new wave sound to becoming a worldwide pop siren later on that decade. Before buying this compilation I was really only familiar with her from her one and only American hit, the Supremes cover "You Keep Me Hanging On" and its seductively sexy accompanying video from '86, but while being great, that is not even her best song here. But it's the point where she really hit her stride in mainstream pop music and this set includes tracks from the "Close" album that would serve as follow-up in 1988, the first being "You Came." This song is a work of pop music bliss and perfectly captures the sound and feel of the late '80s. It is so beautiful and uplifting that it can give you a new outlook on life. Also included here from that disc is the wonderful ballad "Four Letter Word," where Kim really shows her mellow and tender side and dynamic vocal range. As far as the early new wave-style material here, "Water on Glass" is an ultra catchy anthem with a quick tempo and with lyrics addressing tinnitus (ringing in the ears), of which I myself am a reformed sufferer, so this song bears special meaning for me. To me though her ultimate masterpiece came in 1982 with the non-LP single cut "Child Come Away." Kim would have been 21 when this was released, the exact same age that the likes of Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) and Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols) were when they similarly reached the early apexes of their careers. Kim affirmed her newfound era of adulthood on this truly brilliant track, whose lyrics deal with somewhat dark subject matter, meaning it was not one of her bigger hits. But it's so musically advanced that it mesmerizes the listener to an arguably higher state of consciousness, with its striking chorus and entrancing and trippy keyboard/synthesizer effects. All in all, a fabulous compilation from one of the '80s best female pop artists. Once I sampled tracks off it on Amazon it was an instant purchase for me. Truly great music from a truly beautiful woman. Highly recommended.
