3.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete Fixx, January 9, 2005

This review is from: The Best of the Fixx: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection (Audio CD)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Millenium Collection - Great audio quality, November 6, 2000

This review is from: The Best of the Fixx: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection (Audio CD)

It appears this is a record company release not necessarily a band authorized project. I would recommend the Ultimate Collection for a more complete hits album. The audio quality on this is outstanding, however, and it is a must have for the serious fan like me. One review complains of the album art, which is not the pics I would have used if I were the artist. The liner notes imply the band not to be very active which I can attest is just the opposite. The Fixx is touring currently to packed venues and have a lineup in place for 2001 as well. In the end it is a good thing to have The Fixx's music out and selling as they deserve much more credit artistically than they sometimes get being lumped in with the 80's has-beens.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are better Fixx compilations out there..., October 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best of the Fixx: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection (Audio CD)

...and this is not one of them! It's not bad if you only want the hits, but if your favorite songs are from the first album, then you're a little out of luck. "Stand Or Fall" and "Red Skies" are both live versions. This record is exactly the same as their 10 year old "Greatest Hits" record, except that the song "A Letter To Both Sides" has been replaced with "How Much Is Enough." (The sound is much better, though.) If you want a thorough representation of this band, pick up the "Ultimate Collection" that came out last year instead. It includes ALL of their hits, including "Driven Out," which is not on the Millennium Collection. However, if the only song you know is "One Thing Leads To Another," then this one should do just fine, I guess. By the way - why in the world did they put the same picture on the cover of this CD that they used for the "Ultimate Collection"? Certainly there are many more photos of this band out there. Proceed with caution...
