4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD FOR THE NOVICE LISTENER...., June 6, 2006

It is great to see that Mint Condition was included in the 20th Century Masters Series. Mint Condition was long overdue in my opinion to be added to this series. The CD includes all the hits "Breakin My Heart", "What Kind Of Man Would I Be" and "U Send Me Swingin" to name a few. But songs like "If You Love Me" and "Is This Pain Our Pleasure" from the Elektra Records recording are for some reason missing. Maybe due to some legal matter. Overall I rate the CD 4 stars but you owe it to yourself to pick up there newer material to really get a good feel for the evolution of Mint Condition.

Mint Condition are the best band to be slightly under the radar. They are excellent and their career has spanned so many underrated years.
Breakin My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes) is an absolute classic and yet it's hardly known. The other amazing songs here are You Don't Have To Hurt No More (the best song from Definition Of A Band), What Kind Of Man Would I Be and Forever In Your Eyes. I think I own every cd of theirs and this does represent so many of their best songs. Livin The Luxury Brown is a little more funky, but this stuff here is the classic R&B I've always loved them for. Great cd and I highly recommend it.

........ as in a R&B/Funk/Rock band. The demise of the black band is a sad reflection of the state of black music at the moment, but that aside, this CD showcases the best songs from the following CDs: Meant to Be Mint, From the Mint Factory, Definition of a Band, & Life's AquariumI do love the funk offering of 'Nobody does it better, but where Mint Condition excel is in their mid-tempo ballads. Songs like 'U send me swingin', 'So Fine' (ruff), what kind of Man (with insightful lyrics dealing with the issue of adultery/cheating), and the big full blown stomper 'Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes). Although most of these songs were released in the 90s, they do not sound dated, proof, if any was needed, that great songs never date. This is a good CD to start your discovery of Mint Condition, and I for one aim to purchase their other CDs. (the latest of which is:Livin' the Luxury Brown
