(4 out of 5 stars)

"Dollar were once big stars in the UK, and had 14 hit singles in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. This CD is currently the only one available which features the ORIGINAL versions of some of their best tracks. Their entire debut album 'Shooting Stars' is included here (except for an instrumental track), as well as 6 of the chart singles. The singles (except O L'Amour) are all from the Carrere label days (78-79) and are some of Dollar's best. Shooting Star (UK 14, US 74) is the only one to reach the US charts, but some of the other UK hits such as 'Who Were You With In The Moonlight' (UK 14) and Beatles cover 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' (UK 9) are more memorable. Their other hit present here 'O L'Amour' (UK 7) was from their late eighties comeback. Sadly, their best known, Trevor Horn produced hits (from the early 80s) such as 'Mirror Mirror', 'Videoteque', and 'Hand Held In Black And White' are not included due to problems with WEA, who released them originally. Also missing are the other UK singles from the late 80s (We Walked In Love, Haven't We Said Goodbye Before?, It's Nature's Way) which showed why Dollar were a big hit in the clubs. Oddly, some of the B-sides from these tracks were included instead! Some of the other tracks are interesting to hear though, such as the never released final Dollar single 'Sugar Sugar' from 1988. Overall, this CD is worth buying for all Dollar fans, it's just a shame they couldn't have included more of the better known tracks too. Oh well....It's Nature's Way!"
