5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Of The Babys..., October 8, 2007

By	LeastLikely (San Fernando Valley, CA) - See all my reviews

When do these two albums get released individually? Releasing them as a two-fer may be a good deal, but it is rather an insult. These recordings by the original line-up of The Babys were THE best ones! So was their demo work on the "Official-Unofficial" first album that was released on CD earlier this year. All the stuff that came after Michael Corby's departure was mere corporate product. Even John Waite's solo material for the most part was mediocre. The songs on these two albums are better than Waite's number one song "Missing You." The Babys would have been a megaband in the 1980s had it not been ruined by the idiots at Chrysalis!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent & Inexpensive Intro To The Babys, July 20, 2004

By	Alexander T. Newport (Oro Valley, Arizona) - See all my reviews

All of the songs on this double-album (on one disc) are lovely. The main vocalist, John Waite, had a very strong and distinctive voice; very infectious; makes you wanna sing along. The lead guitarist, Wally Stocker, was by no means a hotshot guitarist ala Schenker or Van Halen, but his solos are very well crafted: short & sweet and from the school of "less-is-more". The Babys never tried to be "deep" or preachy. Their main goal was to write radio-friendly poprock songs and they did a very good job of it. If you like Steve Perry-era Journey, then you will probably like The Babys. Great singing. Great tunes. Lots of soft & hard contrasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Start, January 22, 2002

By	Michael Courtney "exiled01" (San Antonio, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

With this disc you get the first 2 U.S. releases by the Babys. There's a lot of great music here that didn't make the Anthology CD. My fave is "Looking for Love". The Broken Heart portion of this set contains no yawners. You will have to deal with strings and acoustics, but the performances and production here cannot be exceeded. There are two songs here that even made it into the top 10. I know that means this is a pop album, but that's how you made your money and got airplay to sell your record! The price here is fantastic! If you've heard the Babys before and don't have these your collection is incomplete. If you're new to the Babys try this or Head First. Get ready for something that you will listen to more than just occasionally.
