This CD has all of Platinum Blonde's best songs. Although their career was fairly short and produced only three albums, this CD has all of the best hits. A definite must-have! Even if you don't know Platinum Blonde, you will love this album if you love 80's danceable rock. Definitely the best Greatest Hits collection of the year and long overdue.

Ok everyone, when you see the back cover of this cd you know you are in for an 80s cheese fest. But surprise, surprise, Platinum Blonde is one hell of an underrated band, in the same league as Honeymoon Suite or even Duran Duran, the blondes have made some of the best 80s pop ever. Songs like Situation Critical, Lost In Space and Standing in the Dark are just some of the greats includes on this cd.

So, If you love 80s cheese pop, you are in for a threat, if not beware...I warned you.

5.0 out of 5 stars WITHOUT A DOUBT, PLATINUM BLONDE AT THEIR PLATINUM BEST, July 14, 2001

This review is from: Seven Year Itch: 1982-1989 (Audio CD)

This great group from Toronto reminds any follower to be thankful for such considerable R'nR accomplishment (even if it was short-lived). Although many promotional shots taken of this band make them seem like glamour-boy pop icons, one listen to their music proves how wrongly they were portrayed. Any glitter rock or glossy image that found its way to the marketplace was due to the uncompromising sales-pitch techniques of Epic's label company and/or persuasive scheme motives of co-producer Eddy Offord. Hard-synthesized guitar combinations, solid drumming and a lot of true-grit emotion and energy confirms the truth combining this no-frills attached 80's rock dynamo.

Luckily, every song favorite packs itself into this compilation. No need to think, "Well, I'll buy this hit segment until their next `best of` anthology is released to fill any gaps." An all-round better value and group representation than having stacked one on top the other their three preceding album undertakings only filling up space up in your collection. As an option to the reader(s), my suggestion would likewise be (for instance) to put aside some old Loverboy hit's CD release and make room for this superior Canadian group chronology instead...
