Just bought the set today and absolutely love it. Not only are all the old hits there, but some new ones as well. This anthology contains everything a Pat Benatar fan will need to keep rocking into the millenium. A special thumbs up to Pat's version of Roy Orbison's "Crying." It is absolutely beautiful! This is definitely a much needed addition to any Benatar collection.

If you're looking for a "collection" of great female rock - this is a great place to start. "Synchronistic Wanderings" is a cumbersome 3-CD set with all the Pat you'll ever need. Other collections such as, "All Fired Up" (1994) come in a close 2nd place, and "Best Shots" (1989) misses the boat. "Crimes Of Passion" and "In The Heat Of The Night" are classic Benatar and easily her strongest studio releases... and the best songs are well represented on "Synchronistic Wanderings". However, a vast majority of Benatar's other release are hit & miss. This is a great chronological view of her career from the 1970's, thru the late 1990's. All her classic stuff is here, "Heartbreaker", "Treat Me Right", "You Better Run", "Love Is A Battlefield", "Hell Is For Children", "Precious Time", "We Belong", etc, and the more recent "Somebody's Baby". Benatar had 19 top 40 hits and 4 Grammy awards to her credit... this girl can rock & roll with style. The only female rockers from Benatar's era I can put in the same boat are/were Blondie & Heart. Having seen the recent "VH1" special on Pat Benatar made me dig these CD's out of my collection. They still sound great today. Some great off-the-beaten-road tunes are here... "Please Come Home For Christmas", "Crying", "Rise - Part 1 & 2", and "Run Between The Raindrops". Only knock on this collection is that I wish the liner notes were as extensive as they are in the other 2-CD package of her best "All Fired Up". Overall... excellent box set.

For my money this box set lacks nothing. In terms of extras, the demo versions and b-sides are very cool. My personal favorite inclusion is the song "Shooting Star" from the Harry Chapin Tribute. If you saw the concert on PBS, it was a moving night to begin with- and when she first appeared she seemed almost out of place with the folksy stars like Judy Collins and CSN. Then she belted out this tune and turned the theater upside down. Probably my personal highlight of the show and I'm thrilled to have a copy on something other than an old VHS tape. Well worth the relatively inexpensive box-set-price.
