Spanning a period of more than 20 years and containing hits from 4 different labels, this Australian import is clearly the finest B.J. Thomas collection ever assembled. The first cut is the 1966 classic "Billy and Sue" which was released on Nashville's Hickory label. What follows are 18 cuts containing just about every one of B.J.'s hits on the Scepter label. Everyone is familiar with his biggest hits "Hooked on A Feeling" and of course his signature song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head", but frankly I am partial to some of his lesser known hits including "The Eyes of A New York Woman", "Mighty Clouds of Joy" and "Mama". But whatever your preference you will surely find them all here. Also included are a couple of his hits for MCA including "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" as well as well as hit remake of the Beach Boys classic "Don't Worry Baby".
The final two cuts are from his days at Columbia. At this point in the mid-eighties, his records were only being played on country and adult contemporary stations. In my opinion, "Whatever Happened to Old Fashioned Love?" is one of his best discs ever. So spend an extra few bucks and pick up one of the best values you'll ever find.

5.0 out of 5 stars This IS the Ultimate!!!, May 8, 2001

This review is from: All The Hits: The Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)

At last a collection that REALLY lives up to it's title! This collection includes all of BJ's big and most popular hits. It is arrainged in cronological order and covers his 1960's, 70's and 80's hits! The quality of the CD is also noteworthy. Sometimes with collections that cover such a wide range of years, usually lack a consistancy and fullness to each song. This one doesn't! It is great! You feel like they were all recorded today, but they are all original recordings! Enjoy!

If you've wanted all of BJs hits on one CD, then this CD is for you! Chronicles his career from "Billy and Sue", to his last big hit,"What Ever Happened to Old-Fashioned Love?". All excellent recordings from original master tapes on BMG. It is only a shame that most of the best compliations by the great american pop/rock artists are only available on import CDs due to the greed factor by domestic labels for distribution in the US. In any event, this CD is worth the wait! You will want to keep this one in your permanent collection. This is a definate 5 star CD!
