4.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Winehouse and friends, cuttin' loose, July 25, 2009

Here's a few tracks that embody the celebratory spirit of this talented, yet personally troubled performer whose tabloid traumas have all but overshadowed her triumphs. These songs, cut before the bulk of her negative publicity set in, display all the promise and passion we could hope for. My fave tracks on this collection are the ska tunes, done in the style of The Specials.

This collection of B-Sides is truly necessary to get a completist mindset of the talents and versatility of Amy Winehouse. Tha album BACK TO BLACK was definitely a concept album about love and relationships and these cuts didn't blend in well or truly fit the concept of what did make the album. But it in no way means these songs aren't superb and worthy. Most importantly we have VALERIE which was a huge hit in the UK. Producer Mark Ronson asked Amy to collaborate with him on it and it appears on his cd but no other Winehouse cd. A true find. CUPID is a great soulful version of a classic song. With MONKEY MAN and HEY LITTLE RICH GIRL Amy has great fun with her band and backup singers to great results. They are fun, uptempo tracks. The Cuban styled YOU'RE WONDERING NOW shows yet another side of the versatility Amy possessed.

The true standouts are the final 2 tracks. Her rendering of TO KNOW HIM IS TO LOVE HIM will break your heart with its honesty. And the final demo acoustic version of LOVE IS A LOSING GAME shows Amy's raw and strong talent without the production of a studio. Instead you get her vocal talent, emotive ability and are left with a strong message of the true talent she possessed. All these songs are in no way tracks left off for being sub-par but rather songs that just didn't quite fit. Any Amy Winehouse fan will find them a definite necessity. Highly recommend.

This collection really shows off Amy's stuff. She's got the chops and is a pleasure to listen to. She's got a musical sensitivity missing in so many of today's contemporary artists that makes listening to Amy feel like a breath of fresh air.

I'm glad these B-Sides were released in this format and not buried. Fans of Ms. Winehouse will appreciate this.
