During the early 80s, Eurythmics were unstoppable, with six platinum sellers and particular success in the UK charts. Eurythmics released their first album, "In the Garden" in 1981, but it was not until the worldwide success of their second album, (Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This) in 1983, that they became the musical phenomenon we know today. Where other synth-pop groups could feel cold and emotionless, Lennox's passionate, soul-tinged voice set Eurythmics apart and helped the duo find wide general appeal. It also introduced Lennox, with her bright orange crew cut and her gender-bending, sexually suggestive style to the world. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) produced several hits but it was the title track that made the biggest splash, spending several weeks at No.1. It would eventually be considered Eurythmics' signature song. Eurythmics went on to achieve over 20 international hits across the world.
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart are still Britain's biggest selling duo and have sold 75 million records worldwide. Originally released in 1991 as a 13 track album, Music On Vinyl's audiophile reissue of this classic compilation contains 5 more gems from their catalogue. Without any doubt: pop music masterpieces, every single one of them.
"... [I]t flows nicely, revealing that the band that produced such chilly synth-pop classics as 'Sweet Dreams,' 'Here Comes the Rain Again,' 'Love Is a Stranger,' and 'Who's That Girl?' were capable of delivering equally captivating light pop and ballads ('There Must Be an Angel (Playing With My Heart),' 'Don't Ask Me Why,' 'Thorn in My Side'), ersatz soul ('Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves'), and hard-driving rock & roll ('Missionary Man,' 'I Need a Man'). Few of their contemporaries were capable of such range and Greatest Hits proves that the best of the Eurythmics' work were undeniable pop classics." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
