3.0 out of 5 stars For dancin' with my mirror (literally), August 21, 2003

This review is from: Classic Masters (Audio CD)

I'm not sure why this 2002 compilation of Corey Hart exists because 11 of the 12 tracks here are available on the much better 15 track compilation, 1992's "The Singles". The only song special on Classic Masters is "Dancin' with my mirror" from his '86 album "Fields of Fire". Don't get me wrong, the music is great, but another compilation was unecessary. My advice: skip Classic Masters as well as 1998's Best of Corey Hart (from the 10 best series) and just get "The Singles". Unless you have to have "dancin' with my mirror" of course. Then you have a problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Corey Hart Hits Collection To Own!, May 29, 2006

If you're looking for a Corey Hart hits compilation CD, this is far and away his best collection to date. What makes it even better is that the remastering is excellent, which gives it a certain edge over some of his other compilations. Sure, the 1992 Hart compilation "The Singles" has 3 more tracks than this one, but as mentioned before the sound quality is better and, unlike "The Singles", this compilation includes all 10 of his singles to make the Billboard Hot 100 chart. (9 out of 10, by the way, made the Top 40. The only one that didn't, the #88 hit "Dancin' With My Mirror", is also included here). It should also be noted that all 10 of those charting singles are presented in chronological order in this compilation. If you are a die-hard Corey Hart fan, this album may not be enough for you as a career overview, but if you are looking strictly for a hits album from him, this is definitely the one to own.

By the way, you might want to get your hands on this as soon as possible, as it seems EMI is no longer issuing any more compilations in their "Classic Masters" series. Some others in the series seem to be already out of print, (like the ones from General Public and Boy George) and at least a few are going for high prices as used CD's in record stores and online. I'm guessing that the "Classic Masters" line of CD's that EMI put out in 2002-2003 was meant to be the equivalent of Universal's "20th Century Masters" series, which are basically a dozen of an artist's greatest hits for a midline price (around $11.99 or so). I wish EMI would revive the "Classic Masters" series, seeing as how the remastering job on them were usually excellent. Do yourself a favor and get this collection (and any others that you might want from the "Classic Masters" collections) while you still can at reasonable prices.

4.0 out of 5 stars All Corey Hart's hits ... remastered!, April 12, 2004

Most people think Corey Hart only had two hits in the U.S., namely "Never Surrender" and "Sunglasses At Night," but Hart actually landed a total of nine singles on the U.S. Top 40 chart from 1984 to 1990. Granted, none of the singles reached the Top Ten like his signature songs, but they were still pretty successful singles. "It Ain't Enough," Hart's second Top-20 hit, borrows from the Motels' "Only The Lonely," but it's still a great song with a sad, lonely message. Other hits include "Boy In The Box," "A Little Love" and Hart's tender rendition of "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You."

All the music here has been remastered, which is a real plus. Unfortunately, 11 of the 12 songs featured here were also included on the "Corey Hart: The Singles" CD from the early '90s. It would have been great if EMI had left off one of the three non-hit tracks and included "Araby (She's Just A Girl)" (a rare track that was included on foreign releases of Hart's debut) on this CD, since that song has not been issued on CD in the U.S.

Still, this is a budget-priced CD that mild Corey hart fans will enjoy.
