(5 out of 5 stars)

"Though Pamala Staney has has not enjoyed much if any exposure on commerical radio, she has been a favourite in dance clubs since the disco era. This C.D. has all of her essential material here. The tracks range from the disco era hit "This Is Hot" to her final single "If Looks Could Kill" released in 1985. This is a C.D. that disco and dance music fans should not miss! Since the tracklistings are not present, here they are:
1. Rhiannon 5:57
2. Body Time 5:21
3. Got the Fever 6:30
4. Coming Out of Hiding...The Sequel 5:48

6. I Don't Want to Talk About It 6:07
7. If Looks Could Kill 4:30
8. It Would Be So Easy 3:38
9. Taking It Slow 4:08
Time: 45:26

This is a Good Collection of Her Material

"I have always enjoyed Pamala Stanley's music in the 80's. Her two biggest Hi-NRG/Dance hits were "I Don't Want To Talk (About It)" and "Coming Out Of Hiding". The version on this CD of "Coming Out Of Hiding" is an updated one and for those of you like myself, who are use to the original dance version, you might be disappointed. Another disappointment for me was the version of "If Looks Could Kill". They opted for the rock version (very similar to Heart's version) rather than the Dance/Hi-NRG version (IMHO a better rendition).Other selections include her early "This is Hot" and the cover of Stevie Nick's "Rhiannon" which she does an expert job on. My four stars rating is due to the two changes mentioned above otherwise it would have been a 5 star."

THE GRETA GARBO OF DISCO

"MOST DISCO DIVAS HAVE DONE MANY RE-ISSUES OF THEIR CLASSIC DISCO HITS. MOST DISCO COMPILATIONS ARE SATURATED WITH THE SAME SONGS. PAMALA STANLEY HOWEVER, HAS MANAGED TO KEEP HER MUSIC "UNDERGROUND" AND TO AN EXTENT, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. THIS CD IS GREAT BUT DOES NOT HAVE ALL OF HER HITS, THEREFORE, SHE IS STILL TEASING US BY NOT RELEASING HER ENTIRE COLLECTION. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HER ENTIRE ALBUMS RELEASED ON CD. HER MUSIC SOUNDS GREAT ON CD AS THIS WAS TRANSFERRED FROM THE MASTER TAPES. IF YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD HER MUSIC THIS WILL BE A GOOD WAY TO KNOW SOME OF HER LATE 70'S DISCO CLASSICS."
