i love survivor ! i just seen them on july 13 2001 live and i tell you they rock! jimi jamison sounds as good or better on cd as he does live! frankie sullivan is incredible and so is marc droubay and the rest of the guys! this collection is cool! it has all the top 10 singles plus some unknown smaller tracks that casual fans may have never heard before! burning heart , high on you , i can't hold back . is this love , the search is over and desperate dreams show case how good they were in the mid to late 80's!

This album contains 6 more songs but is less expensive than US version (Greatest Hits). Sound quality is great. Which CD do you want to buy then? I am enjoying all the songs in the album. I was lucky to find this nice imported album.

This is one of the two imported versions of Survivor's Greatest Hits (the other one is called "Prime Cuts"). Each CD has 18 songs (a real bargain!) I compared the song lists of the two, and there are only four songs which are on both CDs ("Eye Of The Tiger", "High On You", "I Can't Hold Back", and "The Search Is Over", which are four of their biggest hits). Of the two, this CD has more of the songs you would have heard on the radio. It includes two songs that were on movie soundtracks but not on any studio CDs - "Burning Heart" and "Moment Of Truth". This CD is heavier on the Jimi Jamison era tunes, with only five of the 18 tracks coming from their first four albums. It includes five tunes from the excellent "Too Hot To Sleep" CD.

Comparing it to "Greatest Hits", this one lacks the two new tunes available only on that CD, but I was not overly impressed with those tunes anyway. They're OK, but they're not "hits", and the casual fan has likely never heard them. This one also lacks "Somewhere In America", a good tune and a minor hit from their debut CD. But the other nine tunes on "Greatest Hits" are on here as well.

I cannot attest to the sound quality or whether these are the full-length versions of the songs, but I can definitely recommend this CD based on the song list. It includes ALL the major hits, and the non-hits that were included are all great tunes. Of the three greatest hits packages that are available, I would recommend this one for most people, especially if you do not have all their studio CDs. The only quibble with this compilation is that it does not include any tunes at all from their "Survivor" or "Caught In The Game" CDs. The title track to "Caught In The Game" was enough of a hit to be included here, IMO. If you have all the Survivor CDs, and you really want to own the two tunes available only on the "Greatest Hits" CD, then you can get that one instead, but I recommend this CD for the majority of people, especially those who primarily want the music they are familiar with.

i recently purchased this nice little german import,and what can i say it is better than the u.s. version wich i also have.it doesn't have any new songs but it does have most of their biggest hits and album tracks.the only reason i gave it 4 stars out of 5 is that it didn't include any songs off of "caught in the game" or their first album,but i have no other complaints.survivor was one of the best and underated bands of their era.i hope they release a new album someday, but until then this album should quench their "survivor" thirst.

If you are searching for the best of SURVIVOR, then don't look any further, this is indeed the greatest compilation of the American Rock Group, that contains all of their hits!! You can listen on and on to this CD and never get bored with it. It is a shame tough that "Eversince the world began" and "I never stopped loving you" were not added to this CD! But still worth to buy!

In the words of Kiss, I Pledge Allegiance to the State of Rock & Roll!! A long time ago!! And specially from the 80's rock! I love it!! Survivor, no shadow of doubt, it's part of that story! One of the best 80's band ever, and this greatest hits equally rock my world! It have all the hits that makes that one of the greatest, like Van Halen, Journey, and so many others, I simply love that one!!! Get it, you won't regret!!! A million stars!!

I didn't like this as much as I thought I would. Songs like "Moment of Truth" from the Karate Kid soundtrack are pure 80's soundtrack filler. This has too many of those songs. The Survivor I know and love wrote earnest heart felt songs. If you really want to hear some of that melodic goodness, get "When Seconds Count".
