The best Stevie Wonder collection.......2004-08-28

It is easy to be confused by Stevie Wonder compilations. In the nineties, a double CD was released in America titled Song review, while a single CD was released in Britain with the same title and artwork. More recently, a single CD was released in America titled Definitive collection, so (conversely) a double CD was released in Britain with the same title and artwork. This British double CD is much better than the earlier American double CD titled Song review, which had fewer tracks and missed out some important songs. Indeed, this is the best compilation of Stevie's music that I've seen. Even on two CD's, it is not possible to include every Stevie Wonder recording worth hearing, but all the big hits in Britain and America are here.

You probably have your own favorites. I particularly like You are the sunshine of my life, For once in my life, Yester-me yester-you yesterday, Living for the city, I just called to say I love you, Sir Duke, A place in the sun, Lately and Happy birthday. Other classics (also excellent) include Superstition, I wish, Isn't she lovely, Ebony and ivory (with Paul McCartney), Never had a dream come true, Uptight and so many others.

If you only want one collection of Stevie Wonder music, this is by far the best. If you want to build a collection of his music, this is a great starting point.

Hard to Capture Stevie's Genius on One disc.......2004-07-11

but this set is actually a Solid Overview of One of the Greatest Creative Forces the Music World has Ever Heard.this Set traces His Career from the 60's through the 90's.you see the Diversity in his creative Process.you hear the Musical Growth of His work over time which is the path that leads to Greatness.a Must have especially if you are new to Stevie's Work.

As Good As It Gets!.......2003-03-24

The title of this one really says it all: The DEFINITIVE Collection. And since there has been a number of Wonder compilations issued thru the years, that truly is a bold yet worthwile statement. One must accept the fact that there'll probably never be a perfectly flawless disc(s) of this sort featuring Stevie's very best music - that would take more than 2 CD's and, inevitably, always include the dreaded "I Just Called To Say I Love You". So this, honestly, is as good as it'll ever get.

I've wracked my brain since I got this collection earlier this year and can only come up with two songs I find amiss from it; "Until You Come Back To Me" (in my opinion, superior to Aretha's later hit version of it) and the mighty "Superwoman" - three if you count the 1982 Top 5 U.S. hit "That Girl", which isn't very good although it was a big hit. The European origins of this collection might explain That Girl's exclusion from it though.

Customer Reviews:

Blood Sweat & Tears.......2007-07-09

The music sounds better than ever on CD. If you enjoyed them in the 60's, you will really want to add this to your collection.

A refreshing change in the late sixties.......2005-04-02

Brilliant as so much sixties pop and rock music was, Blood Sweat and Tears seemed fresh and exciting with their brand of jazz-rock. Of course, much popular music in the first half of the twentieth century had its roots in jazz, but the jazz influence had all but disappeared from mainstream pop music by the time rock'n'roll took over in the mid-fifties. Blood Sweat and Tears showed that records featuring prominent trumpets and saxophones could sell in huge quantities to pop and rock fans.

The group had three major American hits, all of which came from their second album and all of which peaked at number two - You've made me so very happy (written and first recorded by Brenda Holloway, a much under-rated Motown singer), Spinning wheel and And when I die. While these three songs were major hits in many countries around the world, they conspicuously failed to make much impact in Britain, where one of them (You've made me so very happy) was a minor hit and the other two failed to chart. Still, their music is readily available in Britain so their UK popularity is better than the charts might suggest.

This compilation contains those three classics as well as other great songs such as Lucretia Mac Evil, Hi de ho, Go down gambling (all hits in America) and their cover of Got to get you into my file (written by Paul McCartney for Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers, who had a UK top ten hit with it - the Beatles included their own version on their album, Revolver).

This is not the ultimate Blood Sweat and Tears compilation - there are some notable omissions such as I can't quit her - but it serves as a good introduction to their music.

Not bad at all...price is right........2000-11-14

The price is right for this collection. It also features two tracks from More THan Ever that aren't available on any other CD release.

Better than Columbia's main release.......2000-11-14

I like the Definitive collection's track listing a little better than the main "What Goes Up" compilation. It adds a couple tracks from the album More Than Ever, and includes some of the other Jerry Fisher material. I recommend this disc. Good price too.

More, more and so much more Tom Jones.......2007-04-13

Wow! What a collection. It is fabulous and highlights very well, Tom's career.This 4CD set comprises his hits, rarer tracks and many covers - all with the Tom Jones 'oomph'. A must for any Tom Jones fan to add to your collection. Great reading as well - now that helps explain the price tag although I must admit to waiting a while to purchase an absolute bargain, however well worth the price tag at full price, 93, yes 93 tracks. I guess the only downside to this collection is the non inclusion of his country hits but don't let that stop you grabbing this one.

This is it.......2006-12-24

This is a complete box set for collector's and fans. All killer, no filler. This isn't a cheap product, nor is it a cheap price. But if you like Tom Jones, then you want this. Remasters of many songs that he did that hit the charts, they weren't top 40, but you still liked them. This is a must have, because they don't play these songs on the radio anymore. If you want to hear it, you have to buy it.

Best Complilation Yet For Legendary Performer.......2006-08-02

Tom Jones compilation discs are too numerous to mention. Most of them deal with specific genres or types of songs the grammy winning pop star recorded, be it country songs, romantic ballads, live concert sets, and a multitude of collecions highlighting his Top40 hits in the US and UK. This collection, a 3 CD box set complete with extensive liner notes, rare photos, and an interview with the singer, is by far the most comprehensive treatment his four decades long career has recieved.

The songs are largely in chronolgical order of orignal release, starting with the very first single Jones ever recorded, nearly a year before his trademark "It's Not Unusual" put him on the map in both England and the states. The first two discs focus mainly on Jones recordings from his "prime period", 1965-1971 when he enjoyed the bulk of his commercial success. Plenty of album cuts (mix of original songs and remakes) and occassional live cuts surround a collection of nearly every notable hit single the singer had in his heyday. US million sellers such as "She's A Lady", "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", and "Without Love (There Is Nothing)", along with other notable hits such as "Green, Green Grass Of Home", "Delilah", "Help Yourself", etc are all included. There's a handful of lesser known songs from the mid 70's when Jones career was slowing down that are not often available on CD. The third CD picks up with Jones re-emergence in 1987 and follows him through his more recent work, which while not as well known in the US as his 60's output, has garnered high critical acclaim. If nothing else, the third disc shows Jones versatility is alive and well and his voice has held up extremely well also.

The only thing missing is Jones Nashville years, when he focused on country oriented material in the late 70's through mid 80's. Jones scored multiple Top 20 hits on the US Country Charts during that time, highlighted by 1977's "Say You'll Stay Until Tomorrow" which topped the country chart and hit #15 on Billboard's Hot 100. No explanation is given as to why this significant period of recordings is ignored, unusual given that Jones affection for country oriented material dates back to the early days of his career, especially with 60's singles like "Detroit City" and album cuts he recorded such as Willie Nelson's "Funny How Tme Slips Away", both of which are featured here.

One thing about Tom Jones, he has tried his unmistakably identifiable voice on almost every genre of music, hard rock, heavy metal, pre rock era standards, Broadway show tunes, adult contemporary pop, country, and this collection, despite a few noteworthy ommisions, captures the best of all of them. For the price, this is a very good overview of the singer's career and shows that there is much more to Tom Jones than his Vegas showman persona would seem to indicate.

Definitive Tom Jones 1964-2002.......2006-02-27

well this time I had good luck with Amazon. Last time I ordered something I didnt get it and I paid for it. It was the new Harry Potter book. Even wrote but never heard anything about it. but this CD collection is great and I got it in a timely matter

All I Can Say Is WOW!!! How BEAUTIFUL!!!!!.......2006-02-10

I got this collection for Christmas and I was thrilled!!!! It is absolutely awesome. What an amazing career he has had. I love how it ranges from 1964-2002 because it features the best of all his songs. I wasn't sure if I would like all the songs and boy was I wrong. This set turned me into an even bigger Tom Jones fan, which I didn't think was possible! This is a no brainer for all the Tom Jones fans out there. The book on the inside is wonderful too because it has a ton of wonderful pictures and it is fantastic to read about his career. This set is 100% perfect and I wouldn't change a thing!!!

The album Out of Body is often ignored by Hooters fans. At least this compilation has a couple songs from it. But yeah, buy the original albums instead of the compilations - because once you hear them, you'll want them all, and your mix will be a waste.

There's too many best hits collections.......2005-06-26

That's right! There's Too Many "Best Hits Collections" of these guys. At last count there were more collections of Hooter songs than original albums issued. That's just plain WAKED. I suggest buying "zig zag", "Nervous Night" and "One Way Home" via the used venue here on amazon. This way you own ALL of the great music & YOU decide what their best hits are for yourself, don't let some record industry suit do it for you.

Both as a founder member of the Commodores as well as a solo artist, Lionel Richie is one of the best singers/composers/performers from "the miraculous MOTOWN Hit Maker". This import compilation has a very good selection from both stages in LR career, including the wonderful hits "Easy", "Brick House", the nice and funky instrumental "Machine Gun", "Stuck On You", "Hello", "Do It To Me" (single version), "Love Will Conquer All" and more. If you're planning to go into Lionel Richie's magnificent career in music, this CD is definitely for you.

a Great overview.......2006-10-09

Lionel Richie is One of the Few Artists who truly did it the right way both as a member of a very Successful Band&then later on as a Solo Artist. He understood what Words&Music was truly all about. his material covered R&B,Pop,Gospel&country. He didn't sound like anybody else&just always understood the power of using the Bridge in his music. the Man is One of the All time Greatest Artists as a Singer,Songwriter&all around force. so many great songs that truly stand the test of time. this is what a Double Set is all about. Lionel Richie is One of My All Time Favorite Artists.

The Most Complete Album From Bangles To These Days!.......2004-05-22

I bought this album 2 years ago and it has all their hits and includes a bonus cd with their remixes, I think I'm lucky to have this one because,as I read in other reviews today it doesn't have the bonus cd with the remixes, That's why I rated with 3 stars, now.

No Second Disc-Buyers Beware!.......2004-02-21

The disc of remixes described in the editorial review is NO LONGER INCLUDED in this greatest hits set. On its own merits, this is still the best single-disc compilation available for this group, but don't buy it expecting to get a second disc of remixed rarities.

Buy it, instead, for every charting single the Bangles had--as well as Susanna Hoffs' sole Top 40 hit, "My Side of the Bed"--and an excellent selection of album tracks, and you'll be satisfied. (Then, if you still want more, pick up the Bangles' excellent reunion album from last year, DOLL REVOLUTION. With harmonies and jangling guitars intact, it was a solid return after 15 years apart.)

Great mix!.......2004-02-02

This is a wonderful mix of many different Bangle's songs. It even has four from Susanna Hoffs' two solo albums. There are great hits such as Walk Like An Egyptian, Manic Monday, Eternal Flame, and Hazy Shade Of Winter.

However, when it arrived, it turns out it only contains one disc, not two. There are no remixed tracks. Just 21 tracks and not even in the same order as listed on the track listing on this page. Needless to say I'm very disappointed and I feel badly that my friend paid out nearly $20 for something I don't really need.

of the Greatest Songwriters Ever.......2005-07-08

Lionel Richie is One of the Greatest Songwriters Ever.he could teach alot of folks on how to compose a Song.He made classic Songs with the Commodores&the His solo Career went through the Roof. He always had material that reflected a moment&hit the spot.vocally he was a good Singer.this is a cool Collection on Lionel Richie both as a Band Member&as a Solo Artist.

Quality soul music from the seventies and eighties.......2005-02-21

Motown's golden decade was the sixties, after which several of their stars quit or departed for rival labels. Of the new artists that Motown signed in the seventies, the Commodores were easily their best and most successful. Eventually their lead singer, Lionel Richie, left the group to pursue a solo career. The Commodores continued without him but only scored one major hit - Nightshift, a tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson. This compilation omits Nightshift but includes all the important hits that Lionel Richie had, both with the Commodores and as a solo singer.

The Commodores began mixing hard-edged funk songs with soulful ballads but the latter proved to be more popular and these came to dominate their music. Machine gun (their first hit) and Too hot to trot were their most successful funky singles, but the songs that they are best remembered for are all ballads. Three times a lady became a number one hit for them in Britain and America. Conway Twitty covered it and took it into the country top ten, proving that a great song can be adapted to any style of music. Easy, Sail on and Still (all of which made the UK top ten) are other great Commodores ballads.

Lionel Richie was even more successful as a solo singer than he had been as lead singer of the Commodores. Dispensing with the funky songs, he focused entirely on ballads. He even wrote one for Kenny Rogers (Lady - an American number one hit) following which he produced an entire album for Kenny (Share your love). So even if his solo career had flopped, he showed that he could have a career as a songwriter and producer. He didn't need to worry as his own hits kept coming. Endless love (with Diana Ross), Truly, All night long, Running with the night, Hello, Say you say me and Dancing on the ceiling all made the UK top ten while Lionel was with Motown.

This compilation provides a very comprehensive collection of Lionel Richie's music, with and without the Commodores. I was slightly disappointed by the omission of Deep river woman, a track featuring the country super-group Alabama. It would have been nice if they'd included Nightshift too. Both those tracks can be found elsewhere. For most people, this is the only Lionel Richie album they will ever need.

Excellent Compilation!.......2004-05-08

I have purchased this Lionel Richie and The Commodores double CD in the UK. If you compare it to the US Definitive Collection, the US version has nothing on this compilation. It has all Lionel's big hits, and more, from all his solo works and as a member of the Commodores. I'm not a big Commodores fan, but listening to this compilation would make anyone like me become one. Listening to the Commodores songs on this CD shows you just how good the Commodores were. This compilation also has two songs on it that I don't believe are on any other Lionel Richie CDs. Those songs, "I Forgot" and "To Love A Woman" duet with Enrique Iglesias are both superb songs. I Forgot is a beautiful love ballad that really touches the heart. Although To Love A Woman is more of an Enrique, it deserves its place on this compilation as another beautiful Lionel Richie song. I would highly recommend this Definitive Collection over the US version anyday.

meat loaf definitive collection (gold cd).......2004-03-16

this is not a 2 cd set. the sound quality is far superior than the very best of meatloaf. alot of people would not give it a 5 stars because it is lacking alot of good songs on it. to be a definitive collection. these are early edition songs. so no home by now/no matter what, life is a lemon and i want my money back, i'd do anything for love and objects in the review mirror. the songs you will get is dead ringer for love, two out of three ain't bad, bat out of hell (single version).paradise by the dashboard light, you took the words right out of my mouth, heaven can wait, read em and weep, peel out, im gonna love her for both of us, razor's edge and 6 more. one includes w/ted nugent. i rated it 5 stars. for the soung quality and it still has great songs on this collection.
