Rhythm of Love delivered so strongly which made the follow up hard. Leaving the standard of Rhythm of Love aside, Let's Get To It is an album largely full of, can do better.

lets get to it could have been so much more but pwl had passed their creativity peak at that point and it was right that kylie took the decision to move on, i cant remember but did kylie announce she was parting ways before the release or lets get to it or was it much later.

Yeah I completely agree, it's such a great pop song, and I remember being shocked at how badly it flopped at the time. Maybe it was just a bit too different, and there was just a bit too much going on in the song, kinda too clever for its own good if you know what I mean?

Finer Feelings is a proper gem too, and the Brothers in Rhythm mix transcended it to a 10/10 wub.gif

Overall though, I do think it was definitely the weakest of the PWL albums, although it would have been impossible to sustain that level of success for more than 2 or 3 albums anyway.

My rank of the album:

1. Finer Feelings
2. Too Much of a Good Thing
3. Word is Out
4. Live and Learn
5. Let's Get to It
6. Right Here, Right Now
7. Give Me Just a Little More Time
8. I Guess I Like It Like That
9. No World Without You
10. If You Were With Me Now (with Keith Washington)

Still finding this to be the weakest of the first four albums by some distance! 'Finer Feelings' is the only essential track for me, with the next 6 being nice enough~

Album ranking
01. Rhythm of Love
02. Kylie
03. Enjoy Yourself
04. Let's Get To It

If You Were With Me Now comes nowhere close to the worst offering on Let's Get To It.

HMV seem to have managed to secure the Cherry Red expanded edition of ‘Lets Get To It’ - it’s been out of print and OOS most places for a while (And currently listed for £49.99 on eBay mad.gif ) so grab a copy if you need one - https://store.hmv.com/store/music/cd/let-s-get-to-it

Thanks for the tip, just secured a copy. Only 1 copy showing for me for sale on Discogs and it's going for £59 so it's definitely worth to add to the collection

Good timing to purchase as you got it at a reasonable price.

Happy 30th birthday to 'Let's Get to It'! birthday.gif



Easily Kylie's worst performing studio album overall, missing the Top 10 in both the UK and Australia. Is it her worst album though?

My least favourite Kylie album - it’s has some great tracks but feels all over the place like they changed direction with it multiple times whilst making it.

I love the artwork though.

I remember being horrified at the time that it charted so low.

I was so disappointed with its chart position aswell at the time, its by far my least fave pwl album but it's not my least overall, I prefer it to km 94, kiss me once and kylie Christmas but I think let's get to it showed that pwl werent quiet sure what to do with kylie anymore as the album had so much going on sound wise and the singles alone show that as they all had such a different sound. Apart from finer feelings kylie doesnt revisit the album that much.

Forgot to post a couple of weeks back that it was 10 years since the K25 celebrations officially kicked off with this stunning orchestral version of 'Finer Feelings', recorded at Abbey Road Studios. I had never really took much interest in the original but this one truly captivated me. It made me really recognise and appreciate the tone of Kylie's vocals and I thought this style of music suited her so well. I also love BrunetteKylie.

By far my favourite album but I love the artwork, with the success of IP there is definitely scope for a proper LGTI re-release.

The Cherry Red Boxsets were incredible - Vinyl Picture Disc, CD, CD/DVD, Book etc., but was £100 and released before the big boom of vinyl (and also wildly sought after now).

There definitely is potential, I like let's get to it in parts but by far my least fave pwl album, I do prefer it though to jylie Christmas, body language, kiss me once, km94 and body language.
I think if it got the vinyl treatment at the right time it could repeak, it's 31 tears old just gone but I don't think sn album these days needs a special anniversary to get the vinyl treatment.

Very pleased I bought LGTI on the special edition expanded CD and later the vinyl box set for just £29.99!

All 4 are gorgeous in fact I’ll have a look at them later.

They should repress LGTI first on 180g turquoise vinyl to maximise its chart re entry potential….maybe reissue one per quarter.

One per quarter would be good or even 1 every 6 months until tgey are all available.
