Kylie Minogue Celebrates Quarter Century with New Compilation

May 7, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Twenty-five years is quite a long time for any pop star to survive, much less thrive. Australia's darling Kylie Minogue has been doing just that for a quarter century, and is celebrating that landmark with a new greatest hits album to be released this summer.

The Best of Kylie Minogue compiles 21 tracks - 18 of them Top 5 hits in the U.K. - to celebrate the anniversary of the singer's first single, a cover of Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion" produced by the Stock Aitken Waterman team that became a worldwide Top 10. For the first chunk of her career, Minogue was Europe's go-to girl next door, with a clutch of hits from the SAW/PWL team. She ultimately left the team's employ in the mid-1990s to find her footing as a more mature performer, and eventually struck gold in the early 2000s with tracks like "Spinning Around," "On a Night Like This" and "Can't Get You Out of My Head" - the latter a No. 1 smash in nearly every territory (save for the U.S., which still welcomed it into the Top 10, her second-highest charting single on our shores).

While there's no new material on this compilation, which will be available as a standard CD and deluxe CD/DVD with music videos, The Best of Kylie Minogue serves as a healthy primer for the pop diva's career, who's booked a high-profile gig at The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert in London on June 4, the album's international release date. (The disc is out in America on June 19.)

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Any indication if DVD is NTSC or PAL? American release or UK import?

      I love Kylie - adore the Smash Hits-inspired cover of this comp - but there are so many Kylie comps out there. It's hard to get too excited about this. Plus, it's missing some key tracks. I would have preferred a box set.

    The Australian hit version of Locomotion from 1987 wasn't produced by SAW but by one of their minions, Mike Duffy. Forget this comp and bring on a box set. 😀

    This compilation is such a bad joke. If they wanted to commemorate her 25th anniversary in music, they should have issued deluxe versions of all her albums remastered with single edits, remixes, bonus tracks, and previously unreleased demos and alternate takes (especially from her years with deConstruction Records/BMG). Fans must abstain from purchasing these pathetic cash-in attempts by the record labels and hold out for the properly and lovingly assembled releases.
