How do you weigh Greatest Hits VHS versus the newer Ultimate Collection DVD?

CandaceS said:

My favorite too. And then is 1984...

The video is one of my favorites.

The movie wasn't the best.

CinisterCee said:

We didn't get the new DVD over here..I don't think. But the former is MUCH better than the latter. The new one is missing 1984 videos as well as the We two are one videos.

Anx said:

It was there. Best video.

IstenSzek said:

I am sure it was the rights issues with the Movie Studio.

Anx said:

That's the video. FOr some reason, the CD never had the same line up. Although I have seen an import that was close (I think)

superspaceboy said:

my sentiments exactly.

though i do have to say that the remasters have given me a little more respect for some of their other albums that i pooh-poohed the first time around - specifically, "be yourself tonight", which is a really good r&b/rock album.

Moonbeam said:

I wonder how many of us found that one by accident. I know I did. I didn't know anything off of it and just picked it up. I think it was in the bin or something.

Anx said:

OK...I think it goes like this..

US version had 14 songs..JULIA was not on it. VHS had everything.

IMPORT of the CD had a few extra..
1. Love Is a Stranger
2. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
3. Who's That Girl?
4. Right by Your Side
5. Here Comes the Rain Again
6. There Must Be an Angel (Playing With My Heart)
7. Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves
8. It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)
9. When Tomorrow Comes
10. You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart
11. Miracle of Love
12. Sex Crime (1984)
13. Thorn in My Side
14. Don't Ask Me Why
15. Angel
16. Would I Lie to You?
17. Missionary Man
18. I Need a Man

the DOuble CD you speak of is the LIVE cd they put out just after they broke up. That's where the Sexcrime Live is.

Anx said:

I can't get past sisters are doin it... ANd there are a few others I am eh about.

superspaceboy said:

But yeah "Julia" wasn't on there either. I actually didn't even know it was a single or had a video until this thread!

CinisterCee said:

I have the 12". I think there is a remix of Ministry of Love as the B-Side.

Axchi696 said:

Agreed.

CinisterCee said:

Isn't the org GREAT like that?

Axchi696 said:

I love it too. Its amazing to me that it aged so well...cause it has that 80s vibe...but the songs STILL sound fresh as can be.

superspaceboy said:

superspaceboy said:

that is HOTT!!!

Anx said:

I thought so too. I didn't know they had done such a thing. I think this was a pulled disc or something. I just found/bought it (sometimes threads get me itching) on ebay..10 bucks.

JEALOUS!!!

Axchi696 said:

or Sweet Dreams.... I can never decide.

My favorite individual tracks are The Walk and Beethoven.

NorthernLad said:

My thinking is Savage is a "return: to the sound that made up Touch. As if they didn;t do anyh albums inbetween and had some sort of rock and roll reneisansse in between.

superspaceboy said:

I agree, and that's one of the reasons why i love it so much. As much as I like Be Yourself tonight and Revenge, I was disappointed back in the day when they veered away from the electronic/new wave sound.

NorthernLad said:

My first album of theirs was Revenge. I was really really into Thorn in My Side. I blame RObbie Neville for their demise. Legend has it (I was witness) On a certain radio staion they had a "battle" of new singles. It was TIMS last day to win ( you had to have 3 nights in row) of more calls vs the other song. So it was Robbie Neville's "Ces't la Vie" the was debuting and it won against TIMS and they never played it again. I was so upset. I really felt that if they won that time, it wouold have gone higher. Back in the day of nievety.

Though Boy George is said that during one "rehab" moment he heard TIMS and cried because it was they typs of song he wished he could do.

I love Revenge. I love it because of the moment I heard "She said Revenge would be so sweet" in a "little of You" and then I discovered that Revenge was a song off the first album. I liked the syncronicity in that. A reason I like Prince of yesteryear. As much as I liked it, It's not one of my favs, though I like it better than BYT.

In Order

Savage
1984
Sweet Dreams
Touch
Revenge
We too are one
Be yourself tonight
In the garden
Peace

There is a "Ministry of Love" extended version as the B-side to "Julia". I have the 7" and the 12".

My order of the Eurythmics albums is as follows:

1. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
2. 1984: For the Love of Big Brother
3. Touch
4. Peace
5. In the Garden
6. Be Yourself Tonight
7. We Too Are One
8. Revenge
9. Savage

Please note that I love them all.

See, I love all things Annie too...and I love "Savage"...but I just don't understand how it's almost universally considered their best. I like all of their first 4 albums better.

I think Savage is overrated among fans and underrated among critics.
