5.0 out of 5 stars Mike & The Mechanics "Favourites" Is Sure To Please!, April 12, 2001

This 17-track Swedish compliation offers the best of the group's 14 year career starting with hits from their self-titled 1985 debut album through their amazing 1999 opus, M6. Almost every hit single including early tunes like "All I Need Is A Miracle", "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)", and "The Living Years" to modern classics like "Now That You've Gone", "Word of Mouth", and "Over My Shoulder" are all featured in this great set! Plus, as if that wasn't enough, it includes the previously rare b-side "You Never Change." In fact, the only song it seems to be missing is "Taken In" which was a hit single in the USA (but since this is a Swedish CD, I guess we can forgive that!). Fans should also note that the album is dedicated to the memory of former lead vocalist Paul Young who passed away in 2000.

If you are a fan of Mike & The Mechanics, if you've always been curious to try one of their albums, or if you're just a passive listener, this collection is sure to please! I strongly encourage you to give this selection of pop treasures a listen. You won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Very Best, June 10, 2006

This review is from: Favourites (Audio CD)

This album was only released in Sverige by Virgin/EMI Svenska AB. The remix of "You Never Change" makes this worth investing in. It's different from the original, which I'd have to hunt for. The rest I already have on "Hits" and the studio releases. Rhino finally FEMAed "Hits" here. M&TM have been short-changed here for the past fifteen years. There may have been yet another one somewhere with the singles from "Rewired".
