This collection, originally compiled and released in 1992 finds singer Robert Palmer taking fans on a walk through his career in muisc videos. Palmer himself provides commentary and offers trivia and other interesting tidbits regarding the recording of many of the songs and/or making of the videos. Most of the singer's more popular videos are included such as "Addicted To Love", "Simply Irresistible", and "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" as well the Power Station hits "Some Like It Hot" and "Get It On (Bang A Gong)". Fans will enjoy some of the early videos from the beginning of the MTV era for minor hits such as "Pride", "You Are In My System", and the UK hit "Some Guys Have All The Luck". There is rare footage from Palmer's early career in the mid to late 70's including a 1976 concert performance of his remake of "Man Smart, Woman Smarter" as well as 1979 UK TV appearance to promote "Bad Case Of Loving You". An Isalnd Records complilation, there are no videos for EMI Records hit singles like "Early In The Morning", "You're Amazing", or "Mercy, Mercy Me/I Want You" even though they were on the charts prior to this collection's release. Overall a solid collection featuring most of the singer's biggest hits.
