Wow, What A Collection of Hits!!!.......2005-08-09

This is one of the greatest hit collections I have ever listened to. Cliff Richard has to be one of the greatest performers in Rock Music history. If you enjoy music from the 50's and 60's, do yourself a favor and get this collection. It is truly great.

Cliff's hits from 1958 to 1977.......2005-04-13

This set was the definitive Cliff Richard hits collection at the time of its original release on vinyl. Even back then, Cliff had too many hits to include them all, but all the essentials are here, although some might argue about that. A number one hit (I love you) is missing, as is Voice in the wilderness (a number two hit). Brilliant as they are, they are not as revered as some of the other songs that didn't make the top two in the charts, but which are included here. In the comprehensive six CD set covering all Cliff's singles, the first twenty years of his career uses up 75 tracks compared to the 40 here - and it omits Throw down a line (because it's counted as a duet with Hank Marvin, and the boxed set omits duets).

Apart from Throw down a line, this includes all the classics that you want from the first twenty years of Cliff's incredible career including Move it, Living doll, Travelling light, Please don't tease, When the girl in your arms, Young ones, Bachelor boy, The next time, Summer holiday, Lucky lips, One the beach, The minute your gone, Visions, In the country, The day I met Marie, Miss you nights and Devil woman - not forgetting his two Eurovision entries, Congratulations and Power to all our friends. If I haven't listed your favorite among them, don't worry - every track here is a classic.

Of course, for a really comprehensive collection, you must buy that boxed set, but if you are mainly interested in Cliff's sixties music and you don't need to have all the hits from the period this is the compilation for you.

The classics from the first half of his career.......1998-09-09

All the expected Cliff Richard vocals are here but some tracks sound muffled compared to more recent remixed/remastered releases. Ballads and more fast-paced numbers are in the mix with the Shadows (Richard's four-member backing group) providing accompaniment and back-up vocals on a majority of the tracks. 1998 is Cliff Richard's 40th anniversary in the music business and better-quality rereleases are available.

All the big UK Motown hits.......2005-04-13

The first CD covers the music of the Supremes, with and without Diana, while the second CD covers Diana's solo career up to the time that she left Motown in 1981.

Of the Supremes tracks, eighteen were recorded with Diana. I'm pleased to see My world is empty without you (one of their finest songs) included despite the fact that it completely missed the UK charts. Come see about me, Back in my arms again and I hear a symphony are also here despite only being minor UK hits - however, all three were American number one hits. More predictably, Where did our love go, Baby love (the only UK number one hit for the Supremes), Stop in the name of love, You can't hurry love, You keep me hanging on, The happening, Reflections and I'm gonna make you love me (with the Temptations), all of which made the UK top ten, are here along with UK top twenty hits - Love is here and now you're gone, In and out of love, Love child, I'm living in shame, I second that emotion (with the Temptations) and Someday we'll be together.

Six Supremes tracks date from the period after Diana left. Five of these made the UK top ten and the other just missed, that one being River deep mountain high (with the Four Tops), a cover of the Ike and Tina Turner classic. Much as I enjoy these tracks, I prefer the Supremes when Diana was their lead singer.

Diana had a huge number of UK hits without the Supremes but many of them were minor hits. Only one of those (Reach out and touch) is included here, the others here all making the UK top twenty or better. Of these, Ain't no mountain high enough, Remember me, I'm still waiting (Diana's only UK solo number one for Motown - she later had another number one with Chain reaction for a different label), Surrender, Touch me in the morning, All of my life, You are everything (with Marvin Gaye), Do you know where you're going to, Love hangover, Upside down, My old piano and Endless love (with Lionel Richie) all made the UK top ten.

Of course, it wasn't possible to include everything - I would have liked Last time I saw him and Getting ready for love (two of Diana's minor UK hits) while others might want The boss (another minor UK hit but an American number one hit) - but this is a very strong compilation that will give enormous pleasure to a lot of people. From a British perspective, this is the definitive Motown collection of Diana Ross and the Supremes, including every UK top twenty hit and a few other important tracks. Americans may notice that some big hits (from their perspective) are missing (including The boss) but not many. A different British double-CD compilation, Love and life, covers Diana's entire career but misses out a lot of Motown classics to make room for the later stuff. I prefer this set but you must make up your own mind.

1 great CD, 1 useless CD.......2002-04-23

Pity you can't just buy CD1, which is the killer, with all the great 60s Supremes grooves, instead of having to pay also for CD2, which is all Diana the Diva, i.e. melodramatic garbage.

DIANA ROSS AT HER SPARKLING BEST!.......2000-09-30

I am 21 years old and love hip, modern, pumping R and B music and have been in awe of Diana Ross for many years now even though these recordings were mostly made before i was even born but these recordings have a timeless appeal and is an important contribution to the history of soul/R and B. Her modern recordings are still unique but its these fine classics that she will be best remebered for. There are now so many compilations featuring Diana Ross and the Supremes best work that i think its time now for Motown to re release some of her origanal albums and let the younger generation appreciate this special ladys undoubted talents. Albums that i have such as DIANA ROSS 1970, SURRENDER 1971, DIANA ROSS 1976, BABY ITS ME 1977 and ROSS are just perfect examples that should be re released on CD as these represent her versatality as an artist, plus manyof the albums she did with The Supremes. This is however an excellent compilation to have if you don't already have these classics. It offers a vast range of The Supremes hits with Diana Ross which includes YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE, STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE, THE HAPPENING, REFLECTIONS, LOVE CHILD and SOME DAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER all of which possess a great, infectious beat with Diana Ross' vocals sparkling and emotionally charged. These are just a handful of the classics featured on this compilation. The album also represents a great selection of The Supremes post Ross when lead vocal duties were taken over by the talented Jean Terrell where they scored more classics with UP THE LADDER TO THE ROOF, STONED LOVE, FLOY JOY, AUTOMATICALLY SUNSHINE and NATHAN JONES all of which can be found on here. It also inevitably gives an airing to Diana Ross' most magical years with Motown between 1970 to 1981 which includes the triumphant AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH, the beautifully smooth and soulful TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING, sultry disco classics UPSIDE DOWN, I'M COMING OUT, and LOVE HANGOVER as well as magnificent ballards such as the powerful Michael Masser track ITS MY TURN, ENDLESS LOVE with Lionel Richie, YOU ARE EVERYTHING with Marvin Gaye and THEME FROM MAHOGANY (DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO). Classic after classic, performances truly stunning and the music charged with fire and soul. EXCELLENT!!! So if you dont already have these classics - buy it!!!!! An important part of the twentieth centurys music. Remarkable! Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!!

Talk About Music that Captures a TIme Period? Great Supremes Material&Great Solo Diana Ross Material.Timeless Quality Material.When Words&Music Mattered.

Motown u betta release all supreme albums on cd.......2000-06-08

I have a lot of the supremes records like "The Supremes sing dozier, holland, dozier", "The Supremes sing Rogers and hart", "Let the sunshine in", "New Ways but love stays" and a lot of others. My record player is so old that when i play my records it goes really fast or slow cause its so old,and thats why i think motown should release all supremes albums on cd including the live ones too like the copa or live at the london place and farwell and the ones with the primettes.
