## Description

2007 release of a 2 CD anthology of the all female pop band that played all their own instruments, wrote all their own songs, save for the occasional cover version. They came to the late Miles Copland's attention in the early 1980's after he was already working with the Go-Go's, another LA female pop group poised to make it big. After the Go-Go's had hit the summit, the Bangles sailed right in after them with a song written by Prince, "Manic Monday", followed by the #1 hit "Walk Like An Egyptian" and a cover of Paul Simon's "A Hazy Shade of Winter", recorded for the soundtrack of the film "Less Than Zero". Here are all the key tracks the gals recorded, long before the Spice Girls purported their "girl power" campaign.

    The Bangles Were More Than Just a GlamRock Band to Me
  

*by L***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2015*

The 80s were a rough time for me in many ways. I was trying to grasp feminism when separatist feminist radicals like Andrea Dworkin were saying that all sexual contact between men and women was rape. At the time I had no idea how widespread her views were and it was a horrific thing to consider. Just about that time I heard the music of The Bangles. The first song I heard made me cry because it reaffirmed my gut feeling that Ms Dworkin was more than a bit looney. As their music flowed out of my radio and stereo, it was healing. I will always be grateful to The Bangles for coming along at just the right time to undo the damage inflicted by a few radical fringe feminists on men who respect, admire and love women. I wrote a letter expressing my gratitude and received an autographed photo in short order. It remains a cherished memento.

    GREAT AUDIO, BUT A LITTLE MESSY IN COMPILATION
  

*by B***B on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2008*

Bangles compilations are now a dime a dozen (AMG lists nearly 30!). This one caught my eye, however, being a 2CD set.From an audio standpoint, the mastering on this set is excellent.  Several compilations ("Essential", "We Are The 80's" and "Glitter Years") released by Columbia/Legacy in recent years have been annoyingly "loudened", but this set has the correct dynamic range of the original releases.  The audio presented here is definitely better than the original CD albums and slightly superior to the 1990 "Greatest Hits" disc.However, some curious and even frustrating aspects of this set are the track sequencing, the booklet and some unnecessary omissions.There was plenty of room to include all three of The Bangles albums in their entirety, plus the three non-album tracks ("Where Were You When I Needed You", "Hazy Shade Of Winter" and "Everything I Wanted") which all appeared on "Greatest Hits".Those three made it into this set, but "Glitter Years", "Make a Play for Her Now" and "Waiting For You", off their third studio album "Everything", did not.Disc 1 clocks in at 54:22, the second at 62:45.  So, there was available space for the inclusion of those tracks.  Heck, there was even room for "I Got Nothing" off the OOP "Goonies" soundtrack, which would have made this a complete Bangles pre-reunion studio compilation.  Frustrating.Then, there's the sequencing: Disc 1 has 18 tracks (the Amazon tracklist above omits #18 "Standing In The Hallway"), which curiously commences with only 4 of the 8 charted singles, then proceeds to the remainder of the first album in its entirety, correctly sequenced.  The last four tracks are from the second album, "Different Light", but out of original running order.  All not a big deal, but strange nonetheless.Things get much wackier on Disc 2.  Instead of starting with the remainder of the 2nd album, track 1 is 1987's "Hazy Shade Of Winter", followed by skipping to four songs from the third album "Everything", then BACKWARD for the other two non-album tracks, FORWARD for the remaining "Different Light" material, and finally finishes with the last songs off "Everything", but with the afore-mentioned omitted three tracks!If both discs had been close to being max'd out, I could understand having to jumble things to get everything to fit, but that's just not the case.  Too weird!The booklet has "If She Knew What She Wants" incorrectly listed twice as track 7 on Disc 2, which is actually "Where Were You When I Needed You", but it's correct on the back of the outer slipcover.  Sheesh.All of the logistical oddities aside, this set is definitely the one to own; it has the best bang-for-the-buck it terms of audio quality and depth of material.  It's also a textbook example of proper remastering faithful to the original mix/mastering.
