CD Reviews

Great cd-could have included more.

"Pat Benatar was the rock-chick of the 80's. I remember waiting for this album to come out to have all her hits in one place-well they weren't. Her top-50 hits LITTLE TOO LATE, YOU BETTER RUN, TREAT ME RIGHT, LOOKING FOR A STRANGER,& SEX AS A WEAPON AREN'T INCLUDED. they should have and other songs such as ONE LOVE, OUTLAW BLUES AND THE LIVE VERSION OF HELL IS FOR CHILDREN SHOULDA BEEN DROPPED. THANKFULLY THE ALL FIRED UP 2-DISC SET HAD IT ALL.BUT 5 YEARS AFTER THIS RELEASE."
Good Intro, Diehard Fans Want More

"Pat Benatar is the pinnacle of a woman rocker. She has a stunning voice that can hits those high notes with proficiency meanwhile she has all the grit and edge that a hard rock fan is seeking. This collection of her hits is a great introduction for folks that aren't overly familiar with her work. I am not one of those people. Although I like this CD, I miss a lot of the songs such as "You Better Run", "Sex as a Weapon", "Treat Me Right", all of which are just as important as "Heartbreaker" and/or "Love is a Battlefield." Two versions of Hell is For Children was unnecessary, but the unfamiliar last two tunes on the album, especially "Outlaw Blues" are excellent songs. A great introduction for potential fans, this CD is not quite enough for us diehard Pat Benatar fans."
Superb showcase of Benatar's hits.

"Having just graduated high school when Benatar hit the scene with "Crimes of Passion," I was transfixed with her powerful voice and aggressive delivery. Listening to this great compilation, I'm as impressed as ever. A few notable tracks are not here - most importantly "You Better Run," and "Wuthering Heights," but nitpicks aside, this is a great disc.Pat's classical opera training is quite evident in her amazingly powerful vocals. Quite unlike any rocker before or since. Husband Neil Gerardo's guitar work is of the highest order as well.Worth noting is the fact that Benatar walked away from her career at the absolute height of her success to stay at home and raise her new daughter(s). She's recently returned with some new material, which demonstrates that her voice is as strong as ever. She deserves the greatest respect not only as an artist, but as a woman with the moral character and courage to do what few in show business ever do: put their careers on the back burner for their kids' sake. Hats off to a great artist, and more importantly, a great mother!An essential CD for anyone without the original albums in their collection."
