Search - Donna Summer :: The Best of Donna Summer - 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection (Eco-Friendly Packaging)

The Essentials at a Great Price

"I have been a frequent critic of the great 20th Century Masters rip-off foisted on the record-buying public, but here's what I liked about this set. One, I paid less than ten bucks for this collection. Two, it had all the Casablanca/Mercury hits I was looking for with the exception of "Heaven Knows," (a sacrifice I was willing to make at the expense of being a tightwad). The only other Top 10 singles missing are 1980's "The Wanderer" on Geffen and 1989's "This Time I know It's for Real" on Atlantic. I already had ON THE RADIO on vinyl, but wanted an economic upgrade to CD that didn't have all the cross-fades between songs. So for someone like me that enjoys disco as a guilty pleasure, this was a satisfying fix. RECOMMENDED"

Skimpy Collection

"Although this compilation contains some of Donna Summer's greatest hits, it does not compare well with other collections like the Donna Summer Anthology with 34 tracks or Endless Summer with 18 tracks or On The Radio with 16 tracks. Having said that, this Millennium Collection does have her biggest chart hits from the early sensual track Love To Love You Baby, through the electro-disco trance masterpiece I Feel Love, her majestic version of MacArthur Park, her rock-disco hits from 1979 Hot Stuff and Bad Girls, the duet with Streisand and later stuff from the 1980s like Love Is In Control and She Works Hard For The Money. It showcases her early work with Giorgio Moroder and the later pop direction and includes both sizzling dance tracks and a ballad or two. For a more complete look at this amazing singer, I recommend one of the aforementioned compilations or her classic album Bad Girls which is a timeless masterpiece."
