4.0 out of 5 stars
Recycled, but with HTF stuff, May 22, 2004
This review is from: All Out Of Love/The Best (Audio CD)
Made in USA in 2004, Serial# 82876-59262-2, Playing Time 53:04
This compilation covers the 1980 to 1986 era of the band, and contrarily to most of these "budget" releases, it includes, besides some "classics", a few tracks that are a bit harder to find at a reasonable price... even though there are NO unreleased tracks.
Summarized chronologically, tracks 1 and 3 are lifted from the "Lost in Love" album (track 3 is NOT the "Life Support" version), while tracks 2 and 4 are from the (spectacular!) "The One That You Love" album; I recommend buying both of those albums if you're an AIR SUPPLY novice...
Tracks 11 and 12 are from the "Now And Forever" album, while track 7 was a then-unreleased track from their "Greatest Hits" album.
The other 5 tracks come from albums that, to purchase nowadays, would cause you to reach deeper in your pockets:
Track 8 is from the "Ghostbusters" soundtrack, while tracks 5 and 10 are from the 1985 "Air Supply" (not to be confused with their first album of the same name!); tracks 6 and 9 are from the now hard-to-find (read "more expensive to buy") album "Hearts In Motion".
Even if this collection has room for another 25 minutes of music, we, at least, get full-length versions of the material.
If you're new to AIR SUPPLY, this is a GREAT collection of tracks; if your collection has a few holes in it, you at least get a "sneak preview" at some of the albums you're missing.
An affordable and enjoyable compilation, and even if the material is almost 20 years old, it doesn't sound out-dated at all!
