A Place on Earth: The Greatest Hits

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!)

This IMPORT edition of Belinda Carlisle's Greatest Hits has a larger selection than "Her Greatest Hits" CD. Make sure you get the BONUS CD with it (some dealers sell only the main CD) as the bonus tracks are Dance/Extended Versions of several of the hits (my favorite is Summer Rain-Justin Strauss Mix). My only regret is "Mad About You" is not included, although you'll find "Big Scary Animal" is (which is not on "Her Greatest Hits" CD).

This is a record with wonderful pop/rock songs performed by one of the most beutiful voices within the genre. Songs like Heaven is a place on earth, La Luna, Circles in the Sand and I get Weak all remind us of the glory days of the eighties and fills us with the summer feeling. High choruses, well performed music and the world class voice of the beutiful Belinda Carlisle makes this music fit for all kinds of events. The second CD also includes excellent dance versions of Heaven is a place on earth, I get weak, Circles in the sand, as well as some other hits from the first CD. Highly recommended if you like the voice of Belinda! But who doesn't?

Love it. She is an amazing artist. Expedited quickly, too!

Fans of Belinda Carlisle have eagerly awaited for new music since 1997's Woman and a Man album. With this, her third greatest hits complilation, fans will have to settle for three new tracks and a bonus disc of her hits remixed.Pulling tracks from 1987 through (1986's self-titled debut was released on IRS records and they own the rights exclusively) 1997 the disc showcases Belinda's style changes, music changes and vocal changes over this decade.Starting with her biggest single to date (Heaven) and ending with her newest (All God's Children), Place on Earth takes you on a journey through some of Belinda's most overlooked works. Included are the staples, Heaven, I Get Weak, Circle in the Sand, Leave a Light On, but also included are those that didn't garner that much attention on RR, California, Always Breaking My Heart, Big Scary Animal, and Live Your Life Be Free.The new tracks take their cues from today's new wave of pop. Feels Like I've Known You Forever is a quiet love song that really resonates in you. All God's Children is the first single (and it stalled within the top 40 I do believe) although I believe that the first single should have been A Prayer for Everyone. This song could have been (or be) a killer dance remix. With today's hottest remixers this song could have brought Belinda back (much like it did for Cher).Disc 2 is the bonus in this collection and includes remixes to some of Belinda's biggest hits. A funky techno remix of Live Your Life is included as well as rare tracks such as The Air You Breathe and Only a Dream. Also included is the smash remix of Summer Rain.I think overall fans won't be disappointed. With new Carlisle material coming out within the next year, new Go-Go's material in the works as well, fans will see and hear more of Carlisle than they have in a long time.Although Carlisle is much admired and appreciated overseas perhaps this collection can jumpstart her popularity here in the states. Carlisle still remains one of Amercia's undiscovered gems and truly never looked at with the sincerity she deserved and deserves. We can all say a prayer on that one!

Having followed Belinda Carlisle from her Go-Go days to solo career and back to the Go-Go's and now this album, one thing remains: Belinda has the most powerful, expressive voice of any female pop vocalist. This collection is not available in the United States so it was an awesome treat to hear a new much more upbeat pressing of (We Want) The Same thing, as well as the 3 new songs on this album. All God's Children is the happiest sounding Carlisle ever! A Prayer For Everyone is another gem...not as cheery as All God's Children but the message is the same and having been produced by the Guru's who did Believe for cher, this track too is very very worthwile. BUY THIS album!! You will NOT regret it. The Bonus CD of remixes is good the 2 B sides should have been put on to the Live Your Life Be Free album but including them on this collection is good too.

Though her solo career stateside floundered disastrously in the early nineties,Belinda Carlisle continued to have substantial success in the UK, where this compilation cropped up a couple of years ago. PLACE ON EARTH remains the most definitive gathering of her chart singles to date, with the only major flub being the omission of her first solo hit 'Mad About You'. Unlike alot of music from the eighties, much of Carlisle's catalog remains surprisingly fresh, particularly the Bon Jovi-like power pop of 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' and 'Leave A Light On'. And though she made the occasional misstep--the latin-influenced 'La Luna'placed her waaay out of her element--she made up for it with such new-wave thrillers as 'Do You Feel Like I Feel' and jangly pop-rockers like the criminally catchy 'Big Scary Animal'.Among the three new tracks, the gently rocking Europop of 'Feels Like I've Known You Forever' reaffirms her status as a highly underrated vocalist, and 'All Gods'Children' places her in Cher/'Believe' territory--she sounds surprisingly at ease with this first-rate(and vocally unenhanced)dance anthem. For those who thought her career began and ended with HEAVEN ON EARTH, you'd be well-advised to seek out this collection, or any of her nineties solo records(which actually eclipsed her eighties output by miles).

IM HAPPY

A real bonus with the bonus CD with extended versions

cd in ottime condizioni, venditore affidabile.

このＣＤの最大の魅力はやはり１２インチヴァージョン付きということ。金持ちの旦那がいるせいかサウンドは非常に豪華で賑やか。悲しい歌もなんだか感情移入しずらいのが難点かしら。でもブンブンドライブするには究極の一枚です。わたし個人としてはブレイクしたアルバムよりも［輝きのままで、愛になりたい］の方が彼女らしさが現れていると思います。あまり売れませんでしたが、マルセラデトロイト作のリトルブラックブックは名曲だと思います。WE WANT THE SAME THINGはアルバムとヴァージョンが違っていてこちらの方が出来上がりは上です。
