Why are people not ticking "Turn It Into Love", one of Kylie's most astonishingly underrated moments? Ah, only a single in Japan. Did Marcello once say it had a lyric like Morrissey once or did I hallucinate that in a beautiful dream? Anyway, it is GREBT and the best early early Kylie song.

I was very young when it came out, but is it ALSO my imagination that people thought "Never Gonna Give You Up" was rub but now accept it as a total classic - which it is? I liked "Cry For Help" too - didn't it have a serious video with him in a spotlight or something?

Anyway, SAW Gold is great but the results so far bear out that that first disc is hella front loaded.
