3.0 out of 5 stars Decent if not complete collection, May 20, 2008

This review is from: Best of Smokie (Audio CD)

Though somewhat more popular in the U.K., three of Smokie's singles made the top-100 stateside. This 18-track compilation out of U.K. BMG's Camden imprint gathers up most of the group's U.K. and U.S. charting tunes along with other singles and album tracks. Missing is the first U.S. charting single, "If You Think You Know How To Love Me" as by Smokey and this omission, most likely due to licensing considerations, makes this piece a less than comprehensive overview of the group leaving it less deserving of a higher star rating. Sound quality is decent and the insert has a track listing with a brief one-page overview of the group's musical output. Overall, this is a reasonably priced, decent no-frills overview of this late-70's British pop group.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great 70's material but fit fot today's taste, May 12, 1999

The treatment of the classic needle and pins is done in a the stylish smokie brand. Tracks like run to you is another classic in my right. Suede eat your heart out. The style of this song is way ahead of its time.
