All the Greatest Hit's
I agree with the post "Magic amoungst mediocre". If everything had been like "the chosen one", "Dismal Day", etc then there wouldn't be much on offer here and it would just get mixed up a load of other obsure un-known pop from the 1970s - and not the best out of the bunch. However, you can not help give this album 5 stars because of the all time popular classics such as "Make it with you", "Lost without your love", "Diary", "The Gutair man", "Everything i own", etc. Then of course rockers such as "Mother Freedom" and "Let your love go". Also great David Gates solo hit's included ("Took the last train", "Goodbye Girl, etc) and a couple James Griffin solo numbers as well. Bread have sold sevral million records around the world since their first big hit of 1970 and this collection shows why. With 50 songs it's great value for money and you'll be playing many of the tracks again and again. If you've never heard of Bread, but like singer/songwriter pop music there are songs on this album which will become your favorites! A must for any record collection ***** ... -

The Success Continues
While Bros' second effort was not as strong as their debut,it was nevertheless a good album, shifting more than 2 million globally. This was a more mature sounding album, hence a lot of the fun from the 1st was missing, although "Chocolate Box" ( a top ten in 1990) is worth the money alone! ... -

Leader of the Gang!
This 2 cd 30-odd track collection shows one of the most successful rock n roll singers of the 1970s at his best. When you hear top ten hit's such as "Rock N Roll (parts 1 and 2)", "I'm the leader of the gang (i am)" or "Hello, Hello, I'm back again", it no wonder his success streched easily into more than 25 years! Although his name may have gone through the dirt following his jail sentence in 1999, if you can look beyond all the media hype and remember a great time in music and have fun! then buy this CD NOW and Rock N Roll!! ... -

Hits and more!
Jisaw were one of the best bands of all-time, they were just as talented as most of musics top acts. So how come they never really made it? One is unsure, but one listen to this album proves it wasn't anything to do with their music as it is 100% great.Included here are over 20 should have been big hits, of course, "Sky High" went to number 1 and topped a million in record sales, but only minor success followed, even though some of the songs such as "Mention My Name" and "If I have to go away" should have also topped charts world-wide. ...
