5.0 out of 5 stars Good Collection: Update on an Earlier compilation, January 28, 2005

This review is from: Essential Collection (Audio CD)

It's fairly easy for a band like HOT CHOCOLATE to put together 30 songs or more for a best of set.
It's nice to have "HEAVENS IN THE BACKSEAT..." in this compilation, since it is hard to find ( despite its kitsch).
But, the rest of the songs are mostly good tunes written and performed by good 70s songsmiths.
A few of the tracks are not that cool, so its easy to see that this was not compiled by a fan; however, most of the tunes are great to listen to, and certainly at this price, a nice buy.
Pity that there does not seem to be a more comprehensive boxset available for a quite enjoyable, indeed an emotionally evocative, band.
