Wow I almost forgot just how good the Fleetwoods sounded until I bought this c.d. This c.d. has sixty five songs on it and of course it has their chart toppers such as Mr. Blue, and Come Softly To Me but it really blew me away when I heard how the original Fleetwoods sang songs like Go Away Little Girl ,Tears On My Pillow , A Teenager In Love and the great oldie Lah -Dee -Dah by Mickey and Sylvia. If you like to listen to a really fantastic trio then this is a must for your music system.

This is by far the best Fleetwoods' compilation, in song selection and sound quality. Finally, a set that includes Poor Little Girl and Hey, Little Tear from the Deep in a Dream album (their best) as well as Magic Star. The collection also gives a great cross-section of their career and the songs are well sequenced. The sound mixing does justice to all three of their voices -- they have never sounded better. The two-disc set also definitively demonstrates the group's ability to vary the lead voices and harmonies, which was a truly unique characteristic of The Fleetwoods. Their commercial singles generally put Gary at the center, and these are great and timeless songs but this compilation shows the full range of the talents of Gretchen, Barbara and Gary and shows just how talented they were, as individuals and as a trio. Now, how about making all of The Fleetwoods' catalogue available for download? Great job!

If you`re looking for a complete album you won`t find it here, but you will find the most complete compilation yet with excellent quality sound.
