Don't mess around with a guy in shades...oh no!, August 20, 2003
This 1992 Corey Hart compilation is the only one you need. Two others are available: The 1998 10 song "Best of" and 2002's "Classic Masters". All the songs from these two are available on "Singles" except for "Dancin' with my mirror" from his '86 album Fields of Fire. "Singles" also includes 4 tracks not on any other compilation: "Eurasian Eyes", "Don't take me to the racetrack", "Bang! (Starting Over), & "Spot you in a coal mine". The choice is obvious: "The Singles" is the definitive Corey Hart compilation.

Comprehensive Cory, October 22, 2000
A Kid's Review
This is the most complete, comprehensive collection of Corey Hart's most significant chart hits and album tracks to date...For those who are afficionados of hard edged rockers mixed with comtemporary ballads, then this collection is for you...Most impressive is Cory's heartfelt, emotional interpretation of the Elvis classic "Can't Help From Falling In Love." Other standouts include the MTV ready "Sunglasses At Night," a quintessential hit of the 1980's and what I perceive to be his signature song "Never Surrender." By the end of the 1980's, Hart's vocal delivery and songwriting capabilities evolved (he recently contributed 2 tracks "Where Is The Love" and "Miles To Go [Before I Sleep] for Celine Dion's megahit album "Let's Talk About Love"). Unfortunately, he was omitted from the radio playlists all too soon. This collection highlights the best of his 1980's output. If you wish to follow Cory up to date, I highly recommend his 1998 import CD "Jade."

NEVER SURRENDER..., November 18, 2003
Corey Hart's SINGLES was supposed to bring his best tracks from this first 5 albums...it almost does it.
Among all the great tracks included here, we miss some...songs like "Angry young man", "Goin' home" and "Dancing with my mirror"(all from the 1986 release FIELDS OF FIRE), "Truth will set you free" (from 1988's YOUNG MAN RUNNING)or even "Hold on" (included on the Beverly Hills Cop 2 sdtk.)are missing.
On the brighter side, wonderful songs like "It ain't enough","In your soul", "Never surrender" are all here. The obvious "Sunglasses at night" is here too.
All in all, a great collection of singles and well-written pop music. If you don't know that much about Corey Hart's work, this is a good start. But, take an advice from this guy, go after the other tiltes...they are worth it...trust me!!!
And if you wanna check how his music has developed,look for his
ATTITUDE AND VIRTUE (1992), COREY HART (1997), nad most recently JADE (1998). You won't be disappointed.
