Addictions Vol 1 - The Best Of Rober Palmer is a 13 song collection of hits picked by Palmer himself in an attempt to represent his career in retrospect between the early days as a solo performer through his string of 80's hard rock hits and popular MTV videos. With Palmer picking the songs himself you get a solid overview of the divergent paths his career has taken over the years. His work with African and Carribean musical influences are represented in numbers such as "Woke Up Laughing" and "Pride". His dabbling in 80's new wave is aptly represented with "Looking For Clues". There are ballads such as the Top 20 hit single "Every Kinda People" and some if not all of the memorable "mega hits" such as "Bad Case Of Loving You", "Addicted To Love", "Simply Irresistible", and his performance with the Power Station on "Some Like It Hot". Some noteable hits of the era are not included in favor of lesser known work Palmer felt better represented the different musical styles present in his long career. The album, released in 1989, also predates some Palmer hits such as "Mercy, Mercy Me/I Want You" so that is obviously not included. Overall, a well done best of collection which suitably represents the varying musical styles and influences that have marked Palmer's recording career.
