The Fixx - Decent Compilation.......2007-03-05

The Fixx are one of those bands that I never went out and bought any of their studio albums, but I always liked what I heard from them. I saw them open for The Moody Blues once and thought they put on a very good live show. This compilation is a decent overview of their career. It gets some criticism for including a live version of "Stand Or Fall" instead of the studio version and an alternate version of "Red Skies At Night". Personally I like both of the versions included here, but it is probably a disappointment for people who are looking for a true studio compilation. Slightly different versions of "Deeper And Deeper" as well as "Built For The Future" are also included here. The Fixx were kings of top 40 radio for about four years and then were dropped like a hot potato. I always thought they were a step above the average new wave bands of the day and this collection shows that they were a capable band who wrote catchy stuff. I always found it interesting that although they were a top 40 singles band, most of their lyrics were not your typical radio friendly stuff. You won't find any relationship related songs here, but more topical material dealing with world events and issues. That is one thing I always liked about The Fixx is because of this they did not really fit any mold. If you are looking for a decent overview of the band, this one is worth picking up. The Fixx still tour from time to time and have released several albums since their hey day.

a must-have for eighties enjoyment.......2007-02-11

all the great Fixx songs...i only wish Stand or Fall was the studio version instead of a live version. otherwise this cd fully satisfies.

Red Skies is NOT live on this album..........2006-06-03

Just to correct those that have said that "Red Skies" is live on this collection -- it's not. It is different from the original found on Shuttered Room; this one is a remix -- produced by Genesis and The Police collaborater Hugh Padgham. If you're like me, and only began to appreciate The Fixx after their heydays, you might actually like the newer version of "Red Skies" better than the album original. It's a bit tighter, more up tempo.

Purists will hate it, along with the live version of "Stand or Fall". Those longing for the true sound of The Fixx, the way they heard them back in the early 80's, I'd recommend the more recent "Ultimate" release.

Get Your Fixx!! .......2005-05-04

I can honestly say I'd only heard the one "Big hit" song of The Fixx for many years "One Thing Leads to Another". A few years ago a new 80's station started on the radio here. I heard the songs "Red Skies (at night)" "Saved By Zero"(favorite song by them)"Stand or Fall" and "Secret Separation". Had no idea The Fixx did these songs. Pleasantly suprised by this I went out and bought this album.
While I believe the CD to be a great compilation of The Fixx's best work I'd agree with every reviewer before me in that the live versions of "Red Skies" and "Stand or Fall" weaken the CD. The original recordings are much better. The other songs however have great sound quality and are well worth the price. If your a big Fixx fan I suggest you buy this album. Also might want to pick up the album "Shuttered Room" to get the original recordings of "Red Skies" and "Stand or Fall"

Not a good Fixx...........2005-01-10

Warning shot....the versions of "Stand Or Fall" and "Red Skies" are inferior live versions. This collection also does not include any tracks from albums after "Walkabout."

The "Ultimate Collection" has the studio versions from "Shuttered Room" and songs from 3 more albums, and is the better buy.
