I've gotten every Helix tune that has come out, the day after it did, if at all possible. This compilation, although excellent all the way through, is missing MANY other great helix tunes. Because of that I could've rated it lower, but this Helix for crying out loud. The BEST hair band/party band ever!

I listened to every hair band in the 80's and Helix was one of the most underrated. Their party mentality made for some great music, and this CD captures it in a big way. If you love 80's metal, don't miss this one -you'll be sorry.

Just ordered this CD. Like the other reviewers it is something that I have been looking for for a very long time. Having grown up listening to hard rock/heavy metal in the 80's, Helix were always a favorite of mine. This was especially true during parties. You could always fit songs like Heavy Metal Love, Rock You, and Give Me, Give Me Good Lovin' in between the likes of Def Leppard, Krokus, and AC/DC without missing a beat. Being a long time DJ I've found that I still have an audience for this stuff too. Rock You still gets people to come up to me and ask, "Who was that?" Of course I have to tell them, "That was the best party band to ever come out of Canada."

I have to say that it is also about time that their albums get re-released. I do however, have one question. Where is Walkin' the Razor's Edge? To me, that was the best Helix album ever and I would love to have it on disk. If anybody knows where I can get it please get back to me this email address, jasica.bairos@virgin.net

As for now, I look very forward to rocking out to this disk. For those of you reading this, I would definitely highly recommend this or any one of Helix's early albums up through No Rest For the Wicked. They will bring great music to your ears.

I searched the record stores for years trying to get a compilation CD for this Canadian band. Half-Alive gave me hope but was missing too many of the tracks I wanted. Fortunately, Deep Cuts delivered with almost every track I wanted (it was missing Does a Fool Ever Learn from No Rest for the Wicked album).

Wild In the Streets is my favorite (it's just damn fun, especially if you saw their MTV video of it), followed by Deep Cuts the Knife, Heavy Metal Love, The Kids Are All Shakin' and Rock You. Some nice bonuses for me were Gimme Gimme Good Lovin' and Good to the Last Drop, which are both good tunes.

Compare these underrated guys to Kix, Y&T, XYZ and Thunder. If you can only afford one album from Helix, this is the one.

Helix fans REJOICE!!! The CD we've all been waiting for has finally been released. The only thing wrong with this CD is that it doesn't have MORE Helix songs!! "It's Too Late" from the Iron Eagle soundtrack is a nice touch, though. Still, there are WAY MORE GREAT songs by this Canadien group.

This a good overview, but not as good as others are saying. It is missing (Make Me Do) Anything You Want. If you want the best greatest hits package, go with Over 60 Minutes With Helix.
