Customer Reviews:

Some of The Archies "Very Best" are finally available on CD!.......1999-01-17

It is a carbon copy of the "Everything's Archie" LP (which reached # 66 on the Billboard Charts) and contains alot of excellent material. Perhaps our friends in Japan will release "Very Best Of" volumes 2 & 3, including such favorites as:

Jingle Jangle & Nursery Rhyme (w/Toni Wine), Who's Your Baby & Together We Two (w/Donna Marie), Plum Crazy, Throw A Little Love My Way, Comes The Sun, and many other well deserving tracks.

It may not be all their very best, but it certainly is a start! Take a listen and I'm sure you'll enjoy The Archies' Rock & Roll Music . . .

Not What It Appears To Be.......1999-01-10

Very best of...? Yes... but beware.......1998-09-19

It is not, however, a greatest-hits collection. In fact, it isn't even a collection at all, in the traditional sense of collecting songs from various albums.

This is a re-release of "Everything's Archie," the band's second album. That record was indeed their finest - as if a band that never really existed could have a "best" record.

Let me clarify. This is the album which introduced "Sugar, Sugar," "Melody Hill," "Feelin' So Good," and half a dozen other fine tunes. In that sense, it is indeed the very best of the groups efforts.

I am not trying to "damn with faint praise," either. This is truly a worthy gathering of tunes. It was one of the first LPs I ever bought, and when I first played this CD, the memories rolled back in.

Still, the title led me to believe this CD would include such hits as "Jingle Jangle" or "Sunshine." So, if you choose to purchase this release, simply be aware there are no other songs included.

I rated this CD 5 stars because it is so good, and stands on its own. I didn't take the title into account, because I think that's a separate issue. I'd hate to see anyone who appreciated the music of this finest of 60s faux bands to pass it up just for that reason.
