4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Sampling, June 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Girls on Film the Collection (Audio CD)

As a long time hardcore Duranie I am pleased to finally find a cd that has "Like An Angel" and "Make Me Smile" on it. There have been a couple of pretty decent bootlegs with these songs, but the quality was still a little lacking. These two great and hard to find songs finally are getting their due. This cd has a very good overall sampling of the band's first two albums and some of the b-sides. "Friends of Mine" is one of their best songs, I think, and I'm glad to see it here. It was never a single, despite its forceful drive and I'm happy to think it will be heard by uninitiated. "White Lines" is a little out of place here but perhaps, as the single didn't do terribly well, the label is trying to get it more play. The cover of Bowie's "Fame" is strong, with wonderful percussion. This is a fine introduction to the group and a very welcome addition to the collections of Duranies everywhere who want quality recordings of a couple of rare b-sides.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice collection for Duran Duran fans., October 5, 2000

This review is from: Girls on Film the Collection (Audio CD)

This collection mostly consist of songs from the first two albums. It is nice to see that "Like an Angel", an underrated B-side of "My Own Way", is finally available on cd. I would have like to have seen two other great B-sides songs, "Faster Than Light" and "Late Bar", added to this cd instead of "Last Chance" and "Is There Anyone". It is also great to see "Make Me Smile" since the only other cd it is available on is on some crappy movie soundtrack. "White Lines" might seem out of place on this cd, but since it was the only good song on the album "Thank You", it makes great sense to put it on. That way if you like the song but do not want the "Thank You" album, then you can buy this cd instead. If you are a diehard Duranie, then you should buy this cd without care. If you already own "Decade" or "Greatest", then you might not care for this cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great compilation!, April 29, 2004

Kerrfal "Enry72" (Rome Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Girls on Film the Collection (Audio CD)

That's right! this compilation is probably the best ever made although as previsouly and correctlyoutlined some other good stuffs are out of it.
This mid-price CD summarizes DD carreer getting songs from the best 3 albums of DD: "duran duran", "rio" and "seven and the ragged tiger" plus some nice b-sides.
I agree that White Lines is something diferent and shouldn't have been in this compilation!
If you don't know DD this is a perfect start-up. If you are a fan, you have to buy it! trust me!!!
