4.0 out of 5 stars Good sampler of EWF; not the best single CD collection, December 2, 2004

By

This review is from: The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol.1 (Audio CD)

This CD offers a lot of their famous hits and is a good sampler. However, it is not complete enough (hence Vol. 1) because it does not contain great songs/hits like "Saturday Nite" (1976), "Boogie Wonderland" (1979), and "Let's Groove" (1981). All of these songs are included in the single CD collection Earth Wind & Fire: Greatest Hits, which is a much more complete collection on 1 CD (plus, it has remastered sound). I would highly recommend that collection over this one, especially for casual fans like myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOO SHORT-- but ohhh so sweet!, October 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol.1 (Audio CD)

This reminds me of CHICAGO IX-- every single song worth hearing over and over-- but it could stand to be longer. In addition to the obvious hits ("Shining Star", "Getaway", "Fantasy"-- the 45 edit is included here) were 3 "new" songs-- "September", "Love Music" and "Got To Get You Into My Life" (from the Peter Frampton / Bee Gees SGT. PEPPER movie-- EWF's version must rate as one of the most AUDACIOUS reinventions of any Beatles cover!). GREAT disc! But, if you want more, try the recent EWF'S GREATEST HITS, or maybe better, the import EWF: THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION. Any way, this stuff is SO GOOD you can't lose!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Band Ever!, February 7, 2003

By 

Brian Janeway (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol.1 (Audio CD)

There never was and never will be a better and more versatile band than EWF! From slow to medium to fast, they could truly play it all and with such flare and class! I don't believe they ever recieved their due during the time they were at their peak (1975-82?)and probably never will except by those of us who were and always be touched by their tunes! What we need now is a DVD of one of their early concerts, say about 1976-8!
