Personnel: Kylie Minogue (vocals), Mike Scott (keyboards, background vocals), Matt Aitken, (keyboards, guitar), Neil Palmer (keyboards), George De Angelis (keyboards), Dee Lewis, Mae McKenna and Suzanne Rhatigan (background vocals). Recorded at PWL Studios in London; Alan Eaton Studios and RBX, Melbourne, Austrailia. KYLIE is a collection of early Kylie Minogue, bringing together some of the first and best of the Australian popsters extremely successful hits. "I Shoudl Be So Lucky," "It's No Secret," and "Look My Way." While the production values on Kylie's debut are dated at best and the tunes are nothing but standard late-'80s Stock-Aitken-Waterman bubblegum, there are some rather endearing qualities to it. Firstly, she shows a lot more personality than the other Stock, et al. frontperson, Rick Astley. Secondly, her cuteness makes these rather vapid tracks bearable. Her cover of "The Loco-Motion" made only small waves in the U.S., but this was the album that launched her career as both pop star and icon in Europe. ~ Chris True
