Customer Reviews of Platinum & Gold Collection

diva
i think this is a great compilation. yes, two of her biggest hits are missing (cant get enough, and with every beat of my heart)-but so what? instead you get, original sin, which is one of taylor's most underrated singles and doesn't appear on any of her albums. so its worth buying just for that. as for the guy that complained that there are no naked without you songs: this is an arista remastered series. that album is not on arista, therefore those songs can not be put on this compilation. listening to these songs makes me wonder why taylor dayne was treated the way she was by the commercial music business. she has the best voice out there and should have remained in the top.her voice puts all the beyonce's and brittany's of the worl to shame. as she should. this is what great pop is all about.

Blah!!!!!!
Taylor Dayne is a wonderful musician, beautiful voice. But this new remastered album of 'some' of her greatest hits is just 'blah.' Sure, a remastered album of an artists greatest hits is the best thing to have, but why aren't all her best songs on here? Missing are 'With Every Beat of my Heart', 'Say A Little Prayer', and all her hits from the album Naked without You. If you have a greatest remastered hits album, have ALL her hits, not just some of them.

Remastering is Fantastic!
The compilation starts off with "Tell It To My Heart." What a difference the remastering makes! I turned this one up on my stereo and could actually feel the bass and beats of the song. It sounds crisp and clear - the way it was meant to sound!

The main reason I bought this album was for the digital remastering. Now if only Arista would reissue her other albums, including the Greatest Hits, digitally remastered.

There are a few hits missing here, notably "With Every Beat Of My Heart" and "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love." But that's okay since there are a few other songs that stand out as well, namely "Original Sin" which I hadn't heard prior to buying this collection. It was actually a single back in 1994 from 'The Shadow' movie and soundtrack yet went unnoticed. It was produced by Jim Steinman, who has produced numerous hits for Bonnie Tyler and Meatloaf.

12 tracks? Apparently Arista is limiting all their "Platinum & Gold Collections" to 12 tracks. I guess that's fair for the remastering and the price. But I see no reason why they couldn't have included more or at least release the albums from which these songs are pulled in remastered format for all their acts. (I guess I'm the only one who is really into remastered music!)

I've always thought that my "Soul Dancing" CD had a glitch in "I'll Wait" with a slight break right before the beat kicks in, yet it's found here as well. So it must be part of the original recording. However, I didn't really notice any difference in this track being "digitally remastered." But perhaps that's just the overall production. The track also fades slightly earlier than the original "Soul Dancing" version (must be the "radio edit"). In any case, it's one of my favorite tracks and I'm glad the album version made the cut this time around rather than the poor dance mix on her "Greatest Hits."

Overall, it's a fantastic collection if you want most of the hits remastered.
