4.0 out of 5 stars More than a one hit wonder, April 12, 1999

By A Customer

This is an excellent low price compilation of Toni Basil's music which basically just combines nearly all the tracks from her two albums. Apart from the over-exposed 'Mickey', we get several other catchy 'power pop' compositions from various sources, (including Devo's 'Be Stiff'1).Avoid the awful remix and Spanish versions of 'Mickey', and you have a fine reminder of this under-rated performer's brief assault on the pop world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toni Basil Rules the world, June 9, 1999

By A Customer

Toni Basil is the queen of music. If you haven't heard her hit song "Mickey" You've got to hear it! "Mickey" has reached Number 1 on the Billboard Charts in the U.S. and Number 2 in the U.K. Once you've heard it you'll never forget it!

3.0 out of 5 stars THIS ISN'T 'THE VERY BEST', February 28, 2006

By	Matthew A. Langjahr (Camarillo, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While the title may claim that this album presents 'the very best' of Toni Basil it doesn't. I bought this album just to have the 12" version of 'Mickey'. I was sorely disappointed when I listened to the album and found that the 12" version is an updated techno remix and NOT THE ORIGINAL 12". The updated version is awful. This album is also missing 'Suspense' which was also another club hit. If you were going to buy just one album then you should buy the 'Oh Mickey' import which includes all the songs from both her albums. I will have to continue my search for the extended mixes of 'Mickey', 'Out Of My Head', 'Suspense' and 'Shopping From A-Z' on CD.
