Edsel is Still Mad About Belinda Carlisle with New Anthologies

February 14, 2014 By Mike Duquette 4 Comments

Belinda Anthology frontAfter a series of great expanded CD/DVD reissues, Edsel will release not one but two career-spanning anthologies dedicated to former Go-Go's frontwoman/pop icon Belinda Carlisle.

The Anthology collects three CDs and two DVDs worth of hits and rare content from the singer, whose late '80s run of singles included such impressive pop gems as "Mad About You," "Heaven is a Place on Earth," "I Get Weak," "Circle in the Sand" and "Leave a Light On." While Carlisle has been relatively quiet since 2007's all-French standards album Voila, recent years have seen her gradual return to pop music: her entry in the normally ineffective ICON series by UMe featured "Sun," her first pop single in quite some time. Another new song, "Goodbye Just Go," makes its debut on The Anthology.

The first two discs on the set are devoted to nearly all of Belinda's singles from her I.R.S., Virgin and Chrysalis years (the first time Edsel has expanded its look at Belinda beyond the core albums on Virgin). A third CD features five non-LP rarities from soundtracks and compilations and a live set from Tokyo in 2013. (Edsel has already apologized in advance for the absence of long-unreleased fan favorite "In My Wildest Dreams" from the 1987 film Mannequin; "our researches in tape libraries around the globe (and with staff who worked at IRS at the time) have not so far managed to turn up a master for the track," the label unfortunately noted.) In addition to the audio offerings, two DVDs will feature Belinda's promo videography and live performances on various U.K. television programs, respectively.

For those looking for a more general overview, Edsel will also release The Collection, a hits-centric CD/DVD compilation. Both sets will be available March 17 in the U.K.; Amazon U.K. links and track lists are after the jump!

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.

    Cool set. I wonder if anyone checked with 20th Century Fox for "In My Wildest Dreams" since they distributed the Mannequin film from which the song features.

    Yes, it's a shame that "In Your Wildest Dreams" couldn't be located. But what a collection this is for an iconic voice of the Eighties that continues to thrill her audience. I saw the Go-Go's perform live a few years back, and this girl can still thrill a live crowd, too. Great CD/DVD studio/live combination worth getting!

    As 'Jealous Guy' & 'Ballad of Lucy Jordan' weren't on the UK version of A Woman & A Man it would've been nice to have them on the 3rd cd, I'm sure there must be enough rare tracks to have filled disc 3 without all the 'live' stuff. Pity really because the rest of the package is great!
