1983-1987 - Burning Image

Advantages: The definitive collection ... all the best tracks included
Disadvantages: Maybe a few too many at the end

...In My Side * 1986 Another well remembered promotional video release this is my personal favourite track and video. The group is back singing and acting in the biker community again. 3. Miracle Of Love * 1986 Filmed almost entirely in monochrome this is a montage of images of war, violence and hate countering the intensity and sentiments of the lyrics. 4. Missionary Man * 1986 Dave Stewart is cast a mad scientist in a laboratory. Initially Annie is formed from a dripping wax candle. At times she is seen bound into various contraptions. 5. Beethoven 1987 This is another biopic of the song. Annie starts as an average ‘Mrs Housewife’ having problems with young daughter. As the song progresses she suffers an identity crisis and metamorphoses into or swaps places with the daughter. 6. I Need A Man * 1987 The video follows... Read review

Advantages: What the 80's were all about
Disadvantages: they don't make music like this anymore

...half’s sexual preferences ! . Dark rock song , not one of my favourites . Sounds a lot like ~Lynnard Skynnard 18) ‘I Need A Man’ - 1987 Annie sings a mean tune here , self explanatory title , sung with authority , almost domineering To sum up this album ,a superb collection of the best years of the Eurythmics . @00 saw their comeback with ‘Peace’ , another great album , which perhaps one day , I’ll report on. As for the cover , eight sides , five of which are used to the full . The center pages contain images of their previous albums , some of the covers deserve real praise , such were their impact . Not so of this one though . Song titles are reproduced twice , once with credits etc. Overall a bit of a let down I feel .... Read review

Advantages: Great songs from the 80's
Disadvantages: A few one hit wonders

...- Kylie's first hit that also was number one for about a month, she released this in 1987 and has never looked back. She has changed her image over the years but if it had not been for this song we might have never heard from her again. Well done Kylie. 12. When will I be famous - BROS - The popular group released this number one hit in 1987 and one of their best known songs. The group were very good at the time before the split. 13. Showing out - MEL AND KIM - It was such a shame that they only had two hits together before Mel passed away. Both sisters done really well with this song and the video. This was a great hit in 1986. 14. Relax - FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD - This was the bands first biggest and number one hit, released in 1983 it was well known around the world and had huge merchandise as well. Great upbeat song. 15. Sometimes... Read review
