Pricey Pat: - But it is ALL here.

Review Score: (8/10)
Having always been a fan of Pat Benatar, I have always been disappointed in the hit and miss quality of her anthologies. Be that the blank spaces of "Best Shots" or the edited versions of "All Fired Up," I could never get the Benatar in the format I wanted. However, for "Synchronistic Wanderings," it's all here.

I am not exaggerating when I say that. There are the main omissions from Pat's movie soundtrack contributions (in particular, "Here's My Heart" from "Metropolis,") and tributes from albums dedicated to Harry Chapin and Edith Piaf. (Harry Chapin was a mentor, once giving Pat a part in a short lived musical he'd composed.)

The accompanying book is jam packed with extras as well. Among them are the day she slapped a record company prez for a sexist comment and the fact that it was a Pat Benatar video that was played on MTV just after the infamous "Video Killed The Radio Star" debut. Every female rocker that picked up a guitar since Pat's 1979 debut (and Heart's early albums) should be bowing in front of "Synchronistic Wanderings." She set them free to be who they wanted to, with brass sass and class.
