Hmmm...






THE BEST OF KYLIE MINOGUE

ALBUM RELEASED THROUGH EMI ON JUNE 4


EMI Catalogue will release ‘The Best of Kylie Minogue’ on June 4th. The album features 21 of the best known Kylie songs from her incredible 25-year career, on one disc. The tracks were chosen by the fans through extensive market research conducted by EMI late last year. 18 of the tracks were top 5 in the UK, including 5 number 1’s !

A Special Edition CD/DVD will also be made available, with the DVD featuring all the accompanying videos.

Kylie’s first single, “Locomotion” (later re-titled by Pete Waterman as "The Loco-Motion”) was released on 28th July 1987 . . .  25 years ago this July! She is celebrating this milestone throughout the year with an eclectic program of musical releases, performances, collaborations, publications, merchandise, film and other surprises.

She recently headlined The Mardi Gras in Sydney before immediately embarking upon her bold and much anticipated Anti Tour. Next month sees her performing for the Queen’s Jubilee in front of Buckingham Palace and later headlining Proms in the Park, followed by a continuing series of surprises, world-wide.

The tracklisting for ‘The Best of Kylie Minogue’ is:

Can’t Get You Out Of My Head 
Spinning Around 
I Should Be So Lucky 
Love At First Sight
In Your Eyes
Kids (with Robbie Williams)
Better The Devil You Know  
All The Lovers
Give Me Just A Little More Time 
Celebration
Slow
Red Blooded Woman
I Believe In You
On A Night Like This
Confide In Me 
Get Outta My Way
The Loco-Motion
Tears On My Pillow
Wow
In My Arms
Never Too Late



Is it just me, or this the most pointless release ever? Just 1 CD? No new tracks? A DVD with previously released videos, instead of TV performances, the Anti Tour etc? People can still buy Ultimate Kylie, which is a much better release! This reminds me of the so-called "Ultimate Collection" released by Pet Shop Boys not too long ago. At least in that case there was a DVD with the special edition that included previously unreleased material...

No word on the orchestral CD that was supposed to come out this month. I must admit I was expecting something a lot more exciting then this - hopefully Kylie has somthing much more intresting up her sleeve then this release to celebrate her 25th....

I am so disappointed with this release :( I almost didn't even want to post it on my blog! I really was thinking that they would release the abbey road sessions with this and/or the Time bomb video/song? Hopefully they are still on the way. But yeah...EMI F'ed this one up! Big time. The only thing I like is the cover. xoxoMM

WTF???? This is completely pointless and insulting to fans

It smacks of the record company attempting to cash-in, rather than any kind of genuine K25 release. I must disagree about the cover - it reminds me of the sort of "cheapo" compilation LP we used to be able to get at Woolworths back in the 70s/80s... Jx
