Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the '80s New Wave/Pop band on one disc: All For One (1982) and Little Robbers (1983). All Four One features the U.S. Top 10 hit `Only The Lonely', while Little Robbers includes the hit 'Suddenly Last Summer'. The Motels began as an exciting alternative to L.A.'s male-dominated Power Pop and New Wave scenes. Critics and locals loved them but commercial acceptance and success didn't arrive until their third and fourth albums, both of which are contained here. Lead singer Martha Davis dissolved the band in 1987, only to reform again in 1998. BGO. 2009.

About our music artists .
Nobody from the USA does not.!
evidently? if They did,
they would never let good selling cds
go out of print.
"Bravo" to the U.K for caring still.
Now people can buy these without paying expensive
prices.

I couldn't believe that the Motel's "Little Robbers" has been unavailable for so many years, especially since the album spawned several hit songs (e.g. Suddenly Last Summer and Remember the Nights), and so much music from the 1980s is popular again. In addition to the hits, this double album contains a number of tracks not available on any of the Motels' greatest hits CDs.
Hoorah for the Brits! Britannia rules the (air)waves.
Now, if we could only get access to their itunes as well.

This review is from: All Four One/Little Robbers (Audio CD)

This is an amazing two-fer which contains two Gold albums from the 80's New Wave turned Pop band, The Motels. "All Four One" was released in 1982 and "Little Robbers" in 1983. The former featured the smash hit, "Only the Lonely" while the latter boasted as its first single, the smash hit, "Suddenly Last Summer." These are two masterpieces finally remastered for the first time since 1996 and 1997. Martha Davis' voice is in perfect form and the band sounds pretty awesome too! Also included are other hits, "Take the L," "Forever Mine" and "Remember the Nights." If you're a fan of this awesome band, you'll be 100% satisfied with this purchase as I am. They don't make Rock bands like this anymore.
