Very Enjoyable Retrospective, Nicely Remastered...,
By David Patrick (Prattville, Alabama) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Platinum & Gold Collection (Audio CD)
Like most listeners, my initial exposure to Jennifer Warnes came with her late-70's top-10 hit, 'Right Time of the Night'. Later, my brother bought her album, 'Shot Through the Heart,' which featured her follow-up hit, 'I Know A Heartache When I See One.' Thorough the years, though, Jennifer Warnes has proved to be much more than a singles artist. While it is nice to have all of her hits on one collection -- including the duets with Joe Cocker and Bill Medley -- what really makes this collection enjoyable is her voice. Warnes' singing and phrasing, and somewhat enigmatic song selection, is just a little different, just left-of-center enough to make you sit up and take notice. Songs that might feel like oddities in the hands of some -- 'Sign On The Window' or her remake of the Dionne Warwick standard, 'Don't Make Me Over' -- become joyful romps in her capable hands. And it's hard to resist the bittersweet send up of 'You Remember Me,' a song to an old lover that recalls the pain of separation as equally as it celebrates her present freedom. If you're even marginally curious about Jennifer Warnes' work, buy this CD. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Good CD with some glaring omissions,

While this CD is terrific, it is by no means an overview of Jennifer Warnes' career to date. Strangely absent is any material from Warnes' best album, "Famous Blue Raincoat." Also, her latest CD, "The Well," contains some of her best work to date, and none of it appears here. Still, this CD does contain all four of Warnes' Top-10 hits, as well as some excellent recordings, such as "Could It Be Love" and "Don't Make Me Over."
The CD packaging claims the music here has been digitally remastered, but the songs sound the same as on previous, non-remastered CDs. Still, this is a good CD for casual fans of Warnes' work; however, die-hard fans may want to wait for a more definitive (and remastered) collection, which Warnes will hopefully release some day soon.

Was this ever officially released?,
By 80s Music Fiend "Don" (Georgia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Platinum & Gold Collection (Audio CD)
I've been looking for this CD for years, and it never turns up anywhere, not on Ebay, not on any of the used CD stores online. I think maybe they did a few test pressings (hence the images), but it was never pressed in quantity.
Can anyone shed some light?
