The Best of Belinda Vol.1 is one of my favorite CDs, this woman was huge in the late 80s/early 90s with true pop gems such as "Heaven Is A Place Earth", "Circle In The Sand" and "Leave A Light On" to name just a few, all included within this collection.
br /You really cannon't ask for a better Belinda album as it's running so high on hits, my personal favorites include "Summer Rain", "Half The World", "Runaway Horses" and "Do You Feel Like I Feel?", there really isn't a bad track on this disc and if you are looking for an introduction to Belinda's music or your just a causal fan looking for one CD, a good solid overview, the "Best Of" is for you.
br /This album, "The Best of Belinda Vol.1" [still waiting for a vol.2] was a big hit that was released in 1992 and went straight into the top ten UK album charts, reaching no.1. So as you can see she was popular and so was the album.
br /Hope this was as helpful review!

Infectious eighties pop October 4, 2004

By the time Belinda started her solo career, I was fast losing my interest in contemporary pop music, so much of which just didn't interest me. Once I heard Belinda, I knew that she was one of the exceptions. Production is (by eighties standards) fairly simple, which is partly why I enjoy it. Belinda has a fine voice with a bluesy edge to it, well capable of singing ballads and up-tempo songs.pUp to the time of this compilation (1992), Belinda had sixteen British hits of which fourteen made the top fifty and all those are included. The other two (Mad about you, Love never dies) are omitted in favor of another track (I plead insanity). Of the hits, five (Heaven is a place on earth, I get weak, Circle in the sand, Leave a light on, We want the same thing) made the UK top ten, with the first-named going all the way to number one, just as it did in America. Live your life be free, another outstanding song, made number twelve in the UK nut none of the others made the UK top twenty.pThis compilation is the definitive UK hits collection, though the omission of Mad about you (a major USA hit) may disappoint some fans. It's not the only great track missing, as Belinda did a superb cover of I feel free (originally recorded by Cream), but that wasn't a UK hit either. Nevertheless, Belinda's UK and USA hits were mostly the same songs so the track selection will satisfy most people from whatever country.pIf you enjoy mainstream pop music, you may enjoy this even if the eighties aren't your favorite decade.

An amazing collection of really enjoyable tracks. With her most well known Heaven Is a Place on Earth and less well known which are just are brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyable!
