Customer Reviews

One of the finest ever collaborations...
Poor old Liza. She's had some bad experiences of late, and a history of drug & relationship problems. I'm hoping that one day she'll get her personal life sorted and be truly happy.

In the meantime we have this re-release of one of the best albums of the late 80's. Liza & the Pet Shop Boys: what a truly winning combination, and the results, excuse the pun, are oustanding. All the joy, excitement, pain, & insecurity apparent in many relationships is captured here. Lyrically,this is the Pet Shop Boys at their very best and Liza sure knows how to bring these lyrics to life. This is not a cheerful album, in fact some if it is very moody...but thats exactly how it's supposed to be: I mean, Liza singing an album of pop dance ditties? there's no way that would have worked. Thankfully, in the hands of Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe, that didn't happen and they came up with a classic.

From the angst of "Losing my mind", the hope of "If there was love" and the despair of the incredibly sad "So sorry, I said". Carrying on with the storming "Don't drop bombs", and the excellent cover of "Rent" (which features some great singing from Liza and a superb orchestration courtesy of Anne Dudley), through to the old HI-NRG standard "Love Pains" and finishing with the eternal "I can't say goodnight" (again, some great vocals here). Yep, it's all here: Great music, great production & arrangements and some great singing. Some of these songs still move me today as much as they did back then.

Liza never really managed to follow this up with anything of an equally high standard. So this album, for me at least, is a moment in time. If you never liked Liza, this may not convert you. However, if you do and you maybe missed out on this back in 1989, this is your chance to discover Liza Minnelli's finest hour. No question about it...definately 5 stars.

Why no demos?
I rushed to the shop straight from work to get this! the album has been wonderfully remastered, the artwork is good and the little commentary on the making of the album is charming. The videos are a little disappointing, apart from "Don't Drop Bombs" which is wonderfully camp! My main reservation is that demo's from the recording sessions were not included within this package. They're even mentioned in the cd booklet for goodness sakes!
