According to legend, the video for "Love's Got a Line on You" cost less than 20 dollars to make and features an unknown Jon Bon Jovi posing as Scandal's guitarist. Columbia signed the band based on the clip and the cut, and Scandal went on to become the biggest-selling EP in Columbia history. But since side one's brilliant one-two punch, "Goodbye to You" and "Love's Got a Line on You," is available on the comprehensive Patty Smyth collection Greatest Hits -- Featuring Scandal, this platter may not be top priority. Beyond those two wavy essentials hides "Win Some Lose Some," which forecasts Smyth's descent into the blasé commercial arena; this is standard rock fare penned by the charmed Canadian combo of Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance (along with Loverboy lead stringer Paul Dean). Smyth helps actual guitarist Zack Smith (who wrote the front's stunning singles) compose the flip's two-fer: "She Can't Say No" and "Another Bad Love." Not bad by any means, but again, the above Smyth compilation holds all the average fan needs. ~ Doug Stone, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
