This three CD compilation is all the Bonnie Tyler a casual fan is likely to want or need, but if you haven't heard a great deal of her work and wanted something to explore her music more, this is an ideal choice. The Ultimate Collection covers the cream of her 70s and 80s output, including her biggest hits (It's A Heartache, Lost In France, Holding Out For A Hero, Total Eclipse Of The Heart) plus a huge amount of massively enjoyable songs. Personal favourites include Faster Than The Speed Of Night, More Than A Lover, Loving You's A Dirty Job (But Somebody's Gotta Do It) (a duet with Todd Rundgren), If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man) and Here She Comes. Her cover versions of Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Straight From The Heart and Sometimes When We Touch are rather good too.
Because Bonnie isn't really a songwriter, the quality of her material very much depended on who she worked with and she had the intuition and good taste to work with some of the biggest names in rock at the time, such as doing a couple of albums with Jim Steinman, who fresh from his massive success with Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell and Dead Ringer albums, which resulted in Total Eclipse Of The Heart and Bonnie's rise to prominence in the eighties. She then went on to work with Desmond Child (who has co-written songs with artists such as Alice Cooper and Bon Jovi) and, fun fact, she recorded the original version of The Best, which Tina Turner covered and went on to have a huge smash hit with, despite it not being that different to Bonnie's. This collection covers all of that era as well as her formative seventies years and, while it may not all be complete gold, the vast majority of the material here is hugely enjoyable and a testament to not only Tyler herself, but all of the superb songwriters and producers she had the good sense to work with.
