CD Reviews

Expanded--yet EDITED songs from original pressing!

Daniel W. Kelly | Long Island, NY United States | 09/12/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Well, if you already have the original US pressing of this CD, you're in for a little shock here. Sure, it has a bunch of remixes and bonus tracks, but in order to cram those songs onto here, they have taken the 12" versions of Some Girls and Strike it Rich and edited them! Some Girls is now a little over 4 minutes verses its near 6 minute version, and Strike it Rich has gone from 6 minutes to under 3 minutes!!! Oh well, guess I'll be keeping two versions of this CD. For those who are wondering, The reissues of Deep Sea Skiving, Bananarama and True Confessions do NOT edit any of the original songs, yet still manage to squeeze on a load of bonus tracks."

Still Bananariffic after 20 years.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"When Bananarama hit No. 1 in America with their Stock Aitken Waterman-produced cover of "Venus," the all girl group reunited with SAW to record 1987's "Wow." It spawned more UK hit singles than any of their other albums, and it helped put Stock Aitken Waterman on the map as bonafide hitmakers with a then-Midas touch. The obvious hits ("Love in the First Degree," I Want You Back," "I Heard a Rumor") are here, but the album tracks "Some Girls" and "Strike it Rich" are just as infectious. If you savor perky dance pop with an energetic twist, you'll be in seventh heaven with "Wow.""
