Amazon.co.uk Review
Once upon a time, there was a lovely, New Wave girl group called the Go-Go's. They were poppy enough for the charts, but raw enough for the indie kids--everybody loved them and their warbly, cute-as-a-button singer Belinda Carlisle. But Belinda was unhappy; she wanted to go it alone, and why not? If Debbie was Blondie, then Belinda was the Go-Go's. So, in 1984, she quit the group and began her solo career, polishing her rough edge until it had a smooth, MOR sheen. That's when the hits started coming thick and fast: "Circle In The Sand", "Heaven Is A Place On Earth", "I Get Weak"--all huge and omnipresent throughout the 1980s. They're all collected here, with the notable exception of her first hit "Mad About You" from her debut album, Belinda. Apparently, she even kept on recording solo material right into the 1990s, but few people noticed. --Robert Burrow

Go-Go Belinda?
If you loved Belinda Carlisle as a Go-Go, then you will really love her on her own. It's like when Geri Halliwell left the Spice Girls, the restrictive parameters of a band and its accompanying prefabricated image were tossed aside. This situation allows Belinda Carlisle to evolve and grow into her own unique blend of pop diva and 80's pin-up queen. Yes, my formative music years were in the 80s, so my favourites are clearly "Heaven is A Place on Earth", "I Get Weak" and "Circle In The Sand", but the rest of the album is also top of the class!
