What a waste of time this one is. The only reason to buy it is the cover where Donna looks brilliant. A lot of hits are here ("Last Dance", "Bad Girls", "McArthur Park", etc.) but also many are missing ("Heaven Knows", Dim All The Lights", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough", etc.). And once again "State Of Independence" lurks its head up in a place that an eighties track like the sweet "There Goes My Baby" or even the fun "Dinner With Gershwin" should be placed. The hits are also edits and nothing special. Spend a few more bucks and get the much better "Endless Summer" that comes with two new tracks. This looks like a bad rehash of that. And if you save up a few bucks, get "Donna Summer Anthology".

Like other reviewers, this is NOT a great hit colllection. Here's why: I will highlight her previous hit collections.
Buy:
1. On The Radio - Greatest Hits 1&2 -- If you only like her 70's music.

2. The Anthology Collection - If you want to dig deeper beyond a hits collection with 2 CDs.

3. Endless Summer - If you want THE major highlights spanning her entire collection up to 1994 including 80s tracks that obviously you won't have on On The Radio.

You can buy any of these 3 and not be disappointed. Anything else after that is UNNECESSARY unless you have money to splurge or Donna gets back on Top 40 radio (which I always hope for:)) Donna is certainly capable of a few more hits even though she is 54 years old.

I did not buy this album because I already have every song on it. I bought Donna Summer's "On the Radio", then I bought the double disk "Anthology"--only because it had a more extensive collection of her hits. But honestly, what is the point of continually releasing the same old songs over and over again as a greatest hits package? How many copies of these songs do Donna Summer fans need--or want? And furthermore, does the record company REALLY think that fans are going to continue to spend money on the same songs over and over again? I love Donna Summer and am waiting breathlessly for a new album. But, I refuse to buy another greatest hits album of hers. I didn't buy "Endless Summer" and I am not going to buy this new one, either. I was absolutely shocked when I saw this in a record store! The songs on this album would normally give the CD 5 stars, but I give it 1 star because it is old news that keeps getting rehashed over and over again. I do agree that if a record company is going to be bold enough to release ANOTHER Donna Summer greatest hits, then they should AT LEAST make it a remix album.

All the songs are great. It would be better if they had made HOUSE MIXES of the songs. I will be very happy when she does a remix CD of songs from her last 5 CD's; not counting all the greatest hits. I am a big fan of Donna's but I can't continue to buy the same songs with the same versions over and over. Lets make some HOUSE MIXES of the songs. I still love you Donna.

The ONLY reason to buy this one is if you are a new fan of Donna Summer's work...and I don't know how any fresh fans can be recruited, given the lack of new material since a Christmas album released years & years ago. This CD contains no suprises, no "bonus" releases, no hard-to-find tracks. I have NO idea why this was released, given the glut of Donna Summer greatest hits packages already on the market.

Please, record company guys, can we try something new for a change?
