Very comprehensive Greatest Hits package from a talented singer

Sheena Easton has always been one of my favorite singers from the 80s. Although not as vocally gifted as my all-time fave singer Laura Branigan, I always enjoyed her voice and her music. She also had a very impressive string of hits throughout her career, spanning from 1981 to 1991 (What Comes Naturally being her last charting single).

This Greatest Hits package, titled The World of Sheena Easton: The Singles Collection, includes all of her singles that were released from 1981 (starting with Morning Train) to 1987 (the hard to find and long out of print Eternity).

All the other great songs are here as well. Telefone, Almost Over You, the Prince-penned Sugar Walls, her James Bond theme For Your Eyes Only. Also on this GH is So Far, So Good. This song was on the About Last Night soundtrack.

Alas, as with many greatest hits albums, there is always one or two omissions. This ones mishap is the Prince-duet U Got the Look. I'm not sure why this wasn't included, but it's not really a big deal. This is a stellar disc nonetheless.


Below is the tracklisting:

1. Morning Train (Nine To Five)
2. Modern Girl
3. For Your Eyes Only
4. You Could Have Been With
5. When He Shines
6. Machinery
7. I Wouldn't Beg For Water
8. We've Got Tonight
9. Telefone
10. Almost Over You
11. Devil In A Fast Car
12. Strut
13. Sugar Walls
14. Swear
15. Do It For Love
16. Jimmy Mack
17. Magic Of Love
18. So Far So Good
19. Eternity


The liner notes are also very cool. They include photos of the single picture sleeves, release dates & chart information on every single released from Sheena.

So, if you have a few extra dollars to spare, I would take the time to track down this cd from a very talented singer. It's out of print, so it might cost you, but for Sheena fans, it's worth it.
