Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp. Notes: Fiery New Yorker Pat Benetar occupied a special place in the rock and pop worlds of the early-'80s. With a forceful yowl of a singing style whose deceptive beauty held its charm, Benetar scored a string of unforgettable hits. While not all are included in this EMI-budget disc, the selection is diverse and impressive including classics like the anthemic "Shadows of the Night," the hopeful ballad "We Belong," and her signature song, "Hit Me with Your Best Shot."
The siren-voiced Pat Benatar leapt onto the music scene in the late '70s, when hard rock was still pretty much a boys' club. She made a strong impression. On in-your-face hits like "Heartbreaker" and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," Benatar issued challenges to bad-boy lovers, and her tough-gal image was bolstered through dramatic videos on MTV for a string of hits including "We Belong" and the powerful "Love is a Battlefield." But Benatar was always much more than an image, as the many strong compositions in her songbook attest.
