East Seventeen. Or East 17. Or E17. When I think of East 17, I also think of Take That. These two rival boy bands were the hippest thing in Britain and the entire world from the border east of that country and over between 1992 and 1995. It's been 7 years since. And let me tell you, their music still sounds cool! You might call it a guilty pleasure now, I would call it some really cool memories.

The songs on here are all of East 17's singles throughout their very short career. Dance tunes 'House Of Love', 'Steam', 'Let It Rain', 'It's Alright', the soulful tunes 'Hold My Body Tight', 'If You Ever', 'Slow It Down', and the ballads 'Stay Another Day', 'Someone To Love' and 'Hey Child'. This pretty much sums up one big part of what the early 90's generation considered to be the coolest music around.

Enjoyed it then? Enjoy it again!

East 17 are no more. But this collection of songs is timeless.

I bought this album a long time ago when Brian left the band and bought another copy coz the one I had was so battered! East 17 was one of the most underrated bands in their day, sidelined by their undefinable music since their hard-hitting, synthesizer-laced music was not sugary enough to fall under teen pop. An EXCELLENT compilation of their songs, tracking their career from the very beginning. Tracks to play over and over again would have to be Stay Another Day (Tony deserves that Ivor Novello Award), Steam, Thunder, House of Love & Alright. Their remakes of West End Girls & If You Ever are also worth listening to. Get it!

Buy it and you'll see what I mean by saying the word (GREATEST)

This disk is the only one you have to buy if you like any East 17 music. Basically, all of their best music lives here, buy this and you have their entire career!

It's good, diverse and very entertaining.
