Feiner pop with slight weaknesses

The prophet has no honor in his own country. This oft-quoted maxim can aptly use for the career of the Americans, their commercial success but limited solely to Europe, especially France and Germany. What a pity, finally gave Peter and Anna Kingsbery LaCazio perfect 80-Pop, the inferior quality not at all comparable US acts such as Cyndi Lauper. So it was only enough for a few hit singles whose most successful, "The Promise You Made" In 1986 nevertheless reached number 6 in the German charts.

On this published (in several versions with different track number) "Best Of" compilation thus will find already what is mentioned song all still on the format radio almost totgespielten songs like the wonderfully melancholic "When Your Heart Is Weak", "Just Around The Corner" and "The Biggest Fool Of All".

Nevertheless, it is worthwhile even to look beyond this tired old beads. As would be on the one hand also strongly hit-compatible "El Norte," the places on Latino sound brushed "Worlds Apart", the touching fragile sung by Miss LaCazio "The Part That I Miss", the then grooving casual "Hunting Down A Killer" and " Cowards Courage "and that again in typical Cock Robin Sound reveling" A Little Innocence ".

Of course, in a compiled after just three studio albums "Greatest Hits" compilation of one or other filler is. Therefore, again, not everything that glitters is gold. The live version of "Do not Think Twice, It's Alright" is the mere sound technically not up to par, "Any More Than I Could Understand" ripples smooth past the ear. And "Have You Any Sympathy" acts simply simple and uninspired. But overall, a very pleasant musical journey through time in the pop-decade when one can look beyond the one or the other weakness.
