Shakespears Sister was a band consisting of Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit. The band formed in 1988, the same year that Fahey left Bananarama, and are named after a song by the Smiths, though the term "Shakespeare's Sister" predates the song. 16 track Platinum Collection consists of their best - most in remixed form - from the Warner/Elektra music archives. 2005.

I'm not a fan...
I've never been to a show. I've not even made it through this entire album in one sitting. Generally speaking, I'm not a Shakespeare's Sister fan,That said, I purchased this album for one song: The acoustic version of "Stay." Having listen to just about every genre of music for these last 30+ years, I can honestly say that this tune haunts me more than almost any other song I've heard.I can't tell you what it is about it. The emotion just feels so real. The sentiment so beautiful, while at the same time dark and morbid. I must have listened to it thousands of times by now, after stumbling upon it over a decade ago on college radio.It's been said that the power of music is in its ability to move a person. Well, if you want to be moved, then buy this album. That one song alone was worth the price for me. It's rare and hard to find anywhere else. I highly recommend it.

Shakespears Sister Rules!
Awesome CD! Always loved "You're History", but the rest of this is equally entertaining. Have loved Soibhan since the days of Bananarama, but love her even more since she left the group when it started becoming a "marketing machine". She is a true artist in every sense of the word.

Wasn't very impressed...
If you like their album "Hormonally Yours" you have about a 50/50 chance of finding this album enjoyable. I wasn't very impressed overall, but it did have a few catchy beats.

A True Gem!
WOW! It's all I can about this CD. Saw it on amazon and bought it within the same 10 minutes. My friend Ermanno had mentioned the CD to me that same night too...and highly recommended it to me. He bought it from here on amazon as well. Every track is amazing, fresh & far beyond my expectations. Especially tracks 1, 3, 4, 7, 12, 13 and 16. I've heard "Prehistoric Daze" on the "The Flintstones" soundtrack CD...and totally forgot about this song until now. It's so dark & definitely one of the Highlights of this item. Track #6 (Mr. Wrong) is quite different and hardly sounds like 'SS'. It's more like an 80's b-side of Debbie Gibson. I DON'T like track #10 (I don't care). It's a horrible version with no background bounce. Sounds too much like a bland demo. The "Hormonally Yours" CD version rocks!Tracklisting & Total Time Per Track:01- You're History (Maximised Version) - 6:3802- Pretty Boy - 3:3803- Break My Heart (You Really)(Extended Version) - 5:3604- Heroine (Heavenly) - 5:3305- Run Silent (Revolution Mix) - 6:3006- MR. Wrong - 3:5307- Dirty Mind (1990 Version) - 4:0808- Goodbye Cruel World (BTO Remix) - 5:4809- Black Sky (The Black Widow Mix) - 5:5710- I Don't Care (Henley Board Mix) - 4:0411- Remember My Name - 3:3512- Stay (Acoustic Version) - 3:4213- Prehistoric Daze (Shakespeares Sister & The Holy Ghost) - 4:5614- Suddenly - 3:3815- Opportunity Knockers - 4:4616- I Can Drive (Pull Down Your Pants Mix) - 5:39Album & Design Info:- You won't find very much "photo-wise" in this package.- Photo on backside of booklet is of Marcella & Siobhan from behind.- Front cover image is found on backside of CD case as well- CD case is a Jewel-case with other "Warner Platinum Series" releases.- Booklet features credits for each track.- Disc is white with silver lettering- Recording Quality is clear, crisp & bass is great- This Compilation: 2005 Warner Music UK Ltd.- Executive Producer: Kurt-Pagan Davies- WWW.SIOBHANFAHEY.COMEvery track will keep you on the edge of your seat, wanting more. The remixing & mastering is excellent & Siobhan has left me satisfied again. I've always been this way when listening to my 'SS' CDs. It all started with "Hormonally Yours". That was suck an easy album to get into. With "Long Live the Queens"...this is no ordinary album and I can't believe it took so long for something this good to reach the music stores. Thank You, Siobhan! You read our minds! ;) ;) wink winkDefinitely worth the money, if you're buying it for yourself or a friend. Regarding the low price...don't consider this a "Bargain Bin" item in the least. It's worth every penny. If you're a Shakespears Sister fan...or if you're only starting out...I highly recommend "Long Live The Queens" as and addition to your SS collection. Hot!!!
