This is a fine, concise collection of New Edition's career from the mid-80s to late 90s. All of their big hits are here, including 'Cool It Now', 'If It Isn't Love' and 'I'm Still In Love With You'.

This is another excellent collection from 20th Century Masters who keep their collections short in length (generally 40 to 60 minutes), but always high in quality.

This was another New Edition compilation I saw, a little different from last year's 70-minute collection, Hits. But this one has 11 songs and is only 44 minutes. I think this is for those who can't get through the longer release or people still hooked onto Backstreet or NSYNC, but needs to know who was doing it first--NE. But this is just as superb, as NE's most familiar hits are represented, from Cool It Now to Telephone Man, to Little Bit of Love, to If It Isn't Love, to Rain to Hit Me Off and I'm Still in Love With You. Fully entertaining in its short span, and the mastering and sounds are so clear on here! You can hear the harmonies on everything. The 20th Century Masters series did a nice job on this group's album and the right 11 songs were chosen!

New Edition were the last closes thing to the Jackson 5 and the Temptations to me. they have/had it all. Ralph Tresvant is so underrated. the Harmony between Ralph Bobby Brown, Rickey Bell and then later Johnny Gill, Ronnie Devoe and throw in Michael Bivins. they always had a Jam. Candy Girl, cool it now, count me out, if it isn't love all the way, Mr.Telephone Man, Hit me Off,etc.. they always had that it. New Edition is like the Music version of Saturday Night Live. everybody hit from this Group and there cuts are tight and they put on a very good show.

I must say that am impressed by 20th Century compilation of this album. I have gone through many of their compilations for other artists, and have never liked any one of them. This one however is different for one reason: it is the only one that has all my favourites in one disc. I have no complaints about that. New Edition have had alot of good music, but am particularly interested in their old ones. Also I very much like the fact that they inluded " Can You Stand the Rain". New Edition funs will love this, not to mention the fair price. As always 5 stars for New Edition. It's the 80's. Enjoy!
