Bonnie Tyler Remixes And Rarities (2-CD)

(Cherry Red Records) 32 tracks

ONNIE TYLER needs little introduction: From the late 1970s to the late 1980s, she was one of Britain's best-loved singers with a truly unique and amazing voice, a string of classics and a legion of fans.
“REMIXES AND RARITIES” is a new compilation dedicated to the hard-to-find tracks scattered across Bonnie's prolific career, from her earliest recordings for RCA in the late seventies to her time with Hansa in the early nineties, including many overlooked non-album tracks.
Released with the blessing of Bonnie's management, “Remixes And Rarities” includes several highly collectible tracks that were only released in South America or Japan, numerous tracks that have never been released on CD, and others that have long been out of print.
Among the many other highlights are extended versions of classics such as “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”, “Holding Out For A Hero”, “Bitterblue” and “If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man)”.
Compiled and annotated by loyal fan Liam Brigg with the help of Bonnie's army of collectors, this 2-CD set is a must for all fans of Ms. Tyler.
The comprehensive liner notes include recent interviews with contributors to some of Bonnie's rarest tracks, including Peter Oxendale, Greek musicians Mihalis Rakintzis and Sofia Arvaniti, and producer Nicky Graham. They also include background information on Bonnie's most obscure tracks.
Although there have been over 150 Bonnie Tyler compilations, “Remixes And Rarities” is the most thorough, comprehensive and unique in terms of concept, tracks selected, liner notes and artwork.
This latest double album follows Cherry Pop's previously popular “Remixes And Rarities” tracks by Paul Young, the Thompson Twins, Bucks Fizz and A Flock Of Seagulls.
