The Definitive Collection is a compilation album by Bonnie Tyler.

Content

The 1995 2-disc collection features a standard collection of hits similar to Tyler's myriad of Greatest Hits albums. What stands out, however, is the bonus second disc that contains a special five-track collection of extended material. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" appears on the bonus, as does a special Jellybean Mix of "Holding Out for a Hero". The only bonus track not on the main 18-track album is the extended "Band of Gold".
