1.0 out of 5 stars Bananarama / Bananarama, June 24, 2004

By

This review is from: True Confessions (Audio CD)

I was so excited when I found out that the first five albums by Bananarama were being re-released by collecatables; a company with a great track record of remastering and re-releasing older collections. I thought that there was a mistake when I opened up the cd and found the flimsey insert thay did not contain any credits or notations but instead simply had an advertisment for the rest of the bananarama re-releases. I could have overlooked the disappointing packaging if the sound had in any way been improved but instead, I was once again let down. These cds sound exactly the same as the original cd releases and are simply embarrassing when compared to London Records'recent remastered very best of Bananarama. These cds are a rip off. Recent re-releases by other eighties artista such as Duran Duran and Culture Club were completely digitally remastered and contained beautiful reproductions of the original artwork. They re-energized the music and retail for $1 less than these amateurish excuses for re-releases. If I was a member of Bananarama, I would insist that all of these low quality cds be recalled immediately and apologies sent to all the fans who were duped into purchasing them. On top of all of that I called their very friendly but ill-informed customer service department six times asking specifically about remastering and I pre-ordered two of the cds directly from Collectables after being led to believe that I would be receiving them before thir release date. I actually received them a day after so on top of feeling ripped off by the quality, I can also add the fact that I paid shipping when I live four blocks from a borders music and close to a Virgin Megastore. I had to pay extra to feel completely ripped off. I will never buy anything from this poor excuse of a record company ever again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great reissue!!!!, March 30, 2007

This one is even darker in tone than Bananarama (1984), although Venus & More Than Physical are dance-pop classics, the rest of the album is still very worth while and more bonus tracks make this a must for die-hard Bananarama fans (like me). Skip the US reissue and get this one instead, you won't be dissapointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous! Matured a bit on this album!, September 18, 2004

By

This review is from: True Confessions (Audio CD)

I thought that this was a superb followup to their '84 album! Bananarama matured a lot on this one! I liked the dramatic first song that clocks in at 6 minutes, a departure from their mostly dance music. Venus is still a hot song to this day. One other song I like is More Than Physical. The rest of the album contains some very smart and breezy pop songs. They really came through on this album.
