"This is not a greatest hits album, although based on other reviewers this collection embraces Sheena Easton's hard to find early b-sides and some rarities, so the proper name should be rarities and b-sides by Sheena Easton, "but" Gold Collection, is fair for a Sheena Easton fan, but if you want a Greatest Hits, The World Of Sheena Easton The Singles Collection would do you good, as for the songs included here, they sound awfully like demos, but if you're truly Easton's fan you definitely enjoy this!."
For Sheena lovers, a real find

"The C.D. includes tracks produced for Sheena Easton's first album, "Take My Time," which minus some tracks and an altered cover, appeared in the U.S. as "Sheena Easton." The C.D. adds tracks included only on the Japanese version of the album, some tracks issued only as single B-sides and some other rarities. Sheena in the early days was busily spinning out B-sides that only appeared in this country or that country, or on albums only in this country or that country, and it's been difficult to get them all. There were several early sessions done with barely any instrumental accompaniment that are extremely intimate and songs such as "Summer's Over," "Paradox," "I Dont Need Your Word" and "Please Don't Sympathize" that rank among Sheena's best work but which few fans have heard."
Gold Collection?

"Above average compilation with some of Sheena Eastons' Hits. This isn't a CD that the casual listener would really enjoy. Three of Sheena's best are included here "Morning Train" (also performed by Sylvie Vartan), "Modern Girl", & "For your eyes only" (from the movie with the same title). Some songs are missing from this collection ... & yes, "The Wind Beneath My Wings" is one of them...
The "GREATEST HITS" album is much more superior than this one."
It's good' but not what I wouldt call a real gold collection

"When I first bought this collection I didn't really liked it, but now when I listen to it over and over again it's not really that bad. But it still wouldt have been nice if all of her best songs was on it, when I say this I especially means " Wind Beneath My Wings " don't you think so ? but anyway it still got some of her greatest songs on it, Morning Train (9-5), Modern Girl, Paradox, For Your Eyes Only, One Man Woman, Summer's Over and many more, but it still isn't what I wouldt call a real Gold collection."
Mellow sheen!

"this is a cd for anyone who likes sheenas' ballads (not really a u.s. hits collection- but it has some unheard by u.s. listeners cuts, which makes it interesting listening). it does have 3 big hits in "morning train", "modern girl",& "for your eyes only", plus 13 other cuts - best being - "calm before the storm", "so we say goodbye", the eerie "summers over", and "i don't need your word"....a great collection for any sheena fan!"
