Coupon 👏 Kylie Minogue – Greatest Hits DVD – Cat Deeley, Aremuorin Anthony Everest  🛒

This Greatest Hits compilation charts the period (1987-92) in Kylie’s career when there was the most rapid change in both her image and music. Every single promo she made during her PWL period is featured, including the previously unreleased videos for “Made in Heaven” and “Celebration”. Although the track listing is out of sequence, if watched in chronological order the distinct stylistic phases of Minogue over this five-year period soon become evident. From the cute bubble-perm Kylie of the “I Should Be So Lucky” era, to the sex-Kylie phase that commenced with 1990’s “Better the Devil You Know”, the videos represent all her early incarnations. Her fashion disasters are also recorded, too, such as the bizarre outfit and shoes she wore for “Got to be Certain” and the Parisian wartime look adopted for “Je ne sais pas pourquoi”. Her most outrageous but greatest video moment is where she parodies certain movie stars in the chic video for “What Do I Have to Do?”, and because of her heavy eye make-up almost earns herself the title drag-queen Kylie (watch out for sister Dannii who briefly stars in the video, wearing a blonde wig). All in all it’s an excellent collection for those wanting a visual introduction to early Kylie, and/or those too young to remember her first time round. On the DVD: Kylie Greatest Hits unearths some very rare pieces of Kylie history and the producers of the DVD have gone out of their way to make the compilation as comprehensive as possible. However, the transfer quality is not much better than awful, both for rarities and more popular material such as “Especially for You”. Diehard fans will be pleased, though, by the majority of the videos from the late-1980s including vintage personal introductions from Kylie about the making of the promos etc. Other bonus features include the videos for the Australian versions of “Locomotion” and “Word Is Out”, and alternate promos of “Got to be Certain”, and “I Should Be So Lucky”. –John Galilee
