5.0 out of 5 stars A Collection That's Worth The Money, February 2, 2006

Finally, a New Edition collection that gives a nice selection of major hits and dynamic album tracks all on two discs. There have been quite a few single disc compilations over the years, but none as comprehensive as this latest release. We all know the group had plenty of jams as well as a bunch of solo hits that we want to listen to as well. Classic gems from early in their career include "Lost In Love," "Count Me Out," "Mr. Telephone Man," and "Cool It Now." A few album tracks from then sneak on this double disc as well, namely "Earth Angel," "My Secret (Didja Gitit Yet)," "With You All The Way," and "A Little Bit Of Love (Is All It Takes)." The middle years brought a few more group cuts like "If It Isn't Love," "Your Not My Kind Of Girl," "N.E. Heartbreak," and "Crucial" (the 12" version is featured on here). But those middle years also brought about everybody's solo albums too.

Bobby's smashes are represented on here with "My Prerogative," "On Our Own," "Don't Be Cruel," "Every Little Step," "Humpin Around," and "Girlfriend." Ralph's solo joints include "Do What I Gotta Do," "Sensitivity," and "Money Can't Buy You Love" from the Mo' Money soundtrack. Johnny Gill is finally given his props after being left off most other N.E. collections. His featured songs are "Rub You The Right Way," "Wrap My Body Tight" and "My My My." Bell Biv Devoe round out the solo cuts with "Poison," "When Will I See You Smile Again," and "B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)." The later years bring all six members of New Edition back together with the release of Home Again. "I'm Still In Love With You" "You Don't Have To Worry," "Hit Me Off," and "One More Day" are the classics from Home Again that are added to this colossal collection.

New Edition to this day don't get the respect that they rightly deserve. They set trends, they came with it for years as a group as well as on the solo tip, and they are still going strong to this day. According to Bobby Brown, they are planning a national tour with all six members taking part. Hopefully they will have time in between to record at least one more classic to add to their arsenal. Gold shines bright and will please any New Edition fan in addition to those who just want a massive package of their biggest hits. N.E. Forever!

4.0 out of 5 stars My girl's like candy a candy treat, October 12, 2005

For starters it is missing "Candy Girl" but since that is a Streetwise release, I guess they couldn't get the rights. It sounds exactly like the "Hits" compilation, which is an improvement over the previous releases.

People might ask why should they get this. Well this album also contains solo hits from all of the members, even JG, who was not included in the "New Edition Solo Hits" CD compilation. If you already have all of the discs then I would suggest passing on this, but if you want all of the solo hits including JG's then go ahead and purchase.

Let me add - the version of "Rub You The Right Way," while the hit new jack single version, does not have the rap by CL Smooth. Just wanna let you know. The version on Number Ones has the rap.

I am a huge fan of New Edition as a group and as solo artists. I have every single thing they have ever done, but to have all the favorites wrapped up into 2 disc ..........WONDERFUL!!!
I recommend this CD to anyone that is a super fan or you like certain songs and do not want to buy a full CD. Believe me..you will find the song on Gold. They did not miss anything with this one.

I LOVE IT!!!!
