4.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, great price, but no "Rockin' Roll Baby.", June 11, 2000

The only U.S. Top 40 hit missing is "Rockin' Roll Baby." That song, along with all the other hits, is included on another import called "The Greatest Hits Of The Stylistics" (subtitled "Let's Put It All Together"), which I found while visiting the U.K. recently. This disc is much cheaper, though, and has all the group's big ballads in nice clear sound. With the one "Rockin'" exception, this 18-track disc has almost everything the 2 (10-song) U.S. hits discs have. Of course, if you're reading this you already know what creamy delights await you on this disc. The Stylistics were the most elegant of all the '70's soul groups. If you don't get this CD, get something by them as soon as possible. This means you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great music, sub-par production, June 3, 2003

I'll keep this one short.
The Stylistics deserve 5 stars for this compilation of their great music, but I had to give this CD 4 stars. This is because I don't think the producers of this CD had access to all of the true master tapes. A few of the tracks have background hiss. I find this unacceptable with the technology that is out there today.
The Stylistics, one of the best and most influential R&B groups of the 70's, deserve a better presentation if you are going to make a "best of" CD.

I am one of the many fans out there that is tired of seeing there is not a complete, first rate, CD compilation out there representing the entire spectrum of their recording career.
If you can, I recommend you buy all of their individual releases on CD as opposed to one of the compilations.
