During the early 80s, Eurythmics were unstoppable, with six platinum sellers and particular success in the UK charts.

It was in The Tourists that Annie Lennox met David A. Stewart. When The Tourists folded, Lennox and Stewart formed Eurythmics.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Singer Annie Lennox and guitarist Dave Stewart first received notice in the Tourists, scoring a big U.K. hit in 1979 with a cover of Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be With You." Emerging as the Eurythmics in 1981, Lennox's cabaret-tinged vocal style and Stewart's left-of-center songs took a while to mesh, but when they finally did, with the haunting, hook-filled 1983 No. 1 single, "Sweet Dreams" (accompanied by one of the most striking videos ever made), the two found themselves rocketing to stardom. This, their second album, also features their initial British hit, "Love Is a Stranger," and an icy-cool cover of Sam and Dave's r&b classic, "Wrap It Up." --Billy Altman

This edition has been digitally re-mastered from the original master tapes by Eurythmics mastermind Dave Stewart, with input from collaborator Annie Lennox. In addition, there are seven bonus tracks: a mixture of b-sides, remixes, and previously unreleased material (notably a cover of Lou Reeds' beautiful "Satellite of Love"). The packaging is a six-panel digipack redesign orchestrated by Laurence Stevens Design, the firm who art-directed all the original releases, while the thick booklets contain rare photos and insightful, new sleeve notes.

Product Description

We have painstakingly collated the original master tapes and with the supervision of Dave Stewart, have remastered them to the highest standard possible. The sound quality is truly amazing and has to be heard to be believed.

Each album will feature bonus material compiled with the assistance of Dave and Annie. Rare B sides never before released on CD, classic remixes and most excitingly, unreleased recordings, including a series of amazing cover versions plus live and acoustic performances.

Each reissue has been redesigned by Laurence Stevens Design | LSD the creative agency who has worked with the band throughout their entire career. All eight albums will be released in deluxe digipack packaging, and each album will be stickered to highlight the wealth of bonus material on each release. The 18 to 24 page booklets include refreshed front sleeve artwork, original single sleeves and most importantly previously unseen photography covering the bands whole career. Phill Savidge renowned PR guru and Eurythmics fan has, through various interviews with Dave and Annie, written sleeve notes for each album. Insightful, provactive and ‘unput downable’, they help bring the bands incredible story and music alive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only Slightly Disappointing, November 16, 2005
By J. Brady (PAWLEYS ISLAND, SC United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sweet Dreams Are Made of This (Dlx) (Audio CD)
"Sweet Dreams" is one of my favourite Eurythmics releases and I've been waiting a very long time for the reissue of the back catalogue. I got my hands on this the day it was released and here's my take on it. The remastering is pristine. The expanded liner notes are a little spare on information ( and there are no lyrics, which the original cd release did have ) but contain a wealth of unseen photographs. But as others have noted, there are many B-sides missing here. I thought that what "bonus" was all about. It is nice, however, to see the B-Side "Monkey Monkey" finally on CD, despite the fact that it was mastered from a vinyl source ( I can hear the pops and clicks at the begining of the song, and it is all mid-range, with hardly any bass or treble in the mix. ) Most disappointing are the 1991 remixes of "Love Is A Stranger" and the title track. They are very badly dated; I would have preferred the original 12" mixes. Get this one for the terrific sound upgrade, but beware a few of the other Eurythmics reissues - they are a spotty lot.

This review is from: Sweet Dreams Are Made of This (Dlx) (Audio CD)
With their second release, Eurythmics hit paydirt. Unfortunately, in America, the only tracks that received airplay were the hits "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" and "Love Is A Stranger". Also, any time there has been a greatest hits compilation, those are the only two songs included from this album. However, "Sweet Dreams" was so much more. As an electronic, new wave album, it definitely set itself apart from Depeche Mode, Human League, Howard Jones, Thompson Twins, Tears For Fears, OMD and the faceless others of the time.

"I Could Give You A Mirror", "Wrap It Up", "Jennifer", "This Is The House", "This City Never Sleeps", "Somebody Told Me", "I've Got An Angel" and "The Walk" all hold their own alongside the two hits. This was the first of many seamless albums from the duo. The remastering is excellent here--just listen to "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)", and the b-sides are nice. This time there is a keeper--the previously unreleased Lou Reed cover of "Satellite Of Love". Simply excellent. However, "Home Is Where The Heart Is", "Monkey Monkey" and "Baby's Gone Blue" are not bad either. I enjoyed the 1991 remixes of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" and "Love Is A Stranger".

Dave Stewart remastered the series, and he added additional photographs taken at the time which were amusing. The liner notes cover how the album was made (amazingly on a budget of 5,000 dollars--just proving once again that passion and simplicity can make unforgettable and timeless music). The only drawback is that there are no lyrics to the songs. The old version of this album came with the lyrics.

All in all, this is a great entry in the remastered series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their only really strong album, January 10, 2006
By DC Music Fan (Chocolate City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweet Dreams Are Made of This (Dlx) (Audio CD)
Going back to this I was struck by how consistent this CD is. After this album they started doing more genre pieces and their albums seemed like (fantastic) singles plus filler--there's no overall mood. But on this one, after the silly cover of "Wrap It Up," the kind of thing they couldn't get enough of later on, it moves into this gorgeous stretch that is unbroken through the amazing "This City Never Sleeps." It's like Sade meets Nico or something, and notably lo-fi, in a cool way. After all these years of "Missionary Man" and "Diva" and all that big pop stuff, which is great but kinda blowsy, the sustained late-night mystery of this album is something that is really special and a wonder to rediscover.
