Title: A "dance" compilation
Review: At first I didn't understand this compilation. Why was "The Secret Life of Arabia" included, since it was never performed live, let alone released as a single? Why no "Warsawa" and no "Station to Station"? Why were "1984" and "Knock on Wood" included, if they overlap with the period in the previous compilation? The answer is: this is a "dance" compilation. Whoever selected the tracks wanted to show the world that David had been recording "dance" songs long before the "Let's Dance" album, released in 1983. Even the ballads ("Can You Hear Me" and "Wild is The Wind") are the sort of stuff one would find on David's "dance" albums of the 80's. So the compilation flows smoothly. The only reason why I don't give it five stars is that I don't think this is the best period of David's career. But if there were a separate rank for "track selection", for the period in question I'd give it five stars for sure!
