This review is from: Jason Donovan - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

It's an odd concept that a singer's third album would be a greatest hits collection. Odd unless of course that singer is Jason Donovan. This album features his 12 hit singles and the new track, a remake of the Hank Snow song "Fool Such As I" (a hit for Elvis Presley in the late 50's). Though many of these tracks were featured on his first two LP's, this collection contains the single-only songs "R.S.V.P." and the remake of the Turtles big hit "Happy Together". As far as a greatest hits package goes, this is definitely worth getting. I would, however, have loved to have seen some Jason b-sides included as well. Songs like "Wrap My Arms Around You", "She's In Love With You" and "You Can Depend On Me" could have worked well in this collection. This album is a must for anyone who likes Jason's music, or a good place to start for an introduction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jason Donovan - Some Great Hits, January 1, 2004

Jason Donovan never made it big here in the States, but for what reason, I don't know. Produced by the same hit makers that made names for Rick Astley, Kylie, Bananarama, etc., Jason's hits are just as catchy and fun, even if they're not as familiar to US listeners. You'll find yourself addicted, I guarantee.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jason - the Glory Years, June 24, 2002

This review is from: Jason Donovan - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Like his female counterpart Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan was a regular on the very popular Australian TV soap "Neighbours." He hooked up with British producers Stock-Aitken-Waterman for a singing career which exploded with 1989's "Ten Good Reasons," the best-selling album in the UK that year. But while Kylie kept on racking up hits, Jason struggled to stay afloat, and by the mid-1990s, his music career was all but washed-up. This hits collection, however, compiles Jason's hits during his brief glory years, along with a couple new tracks. To be sure, Jason's not a very good singer, but the singles on this album are classic SAW. "Too Many Broken Hearts," "Everyday," the holiday single "When You Come Back to Me" and "RSVP" are all great reminders of the years when Stock-Aitken-Waterman ruled the charts in England. While Jason could probably never regain the chart supremacy he once enjoyed, this collection comes recommended as a guilty pleasure for any admirer in pop.
