I agree with the previous reviewer that the original album was great and that this is almost the exact same CD with the exclusion of the "Friends" track. I guess it's a matter of taste, but in it's place is the song "Paradise Found" which was not included on the original album. I personally prefer this track over Friends but that's a moot point. I think the big difference here is the remastering job. I you prefer the lesser quality of the old album as compared to this newly remastered edition just because it has Friends on it, I have some advice for you. Pick up the new edition, the sound quality is much better and buy the single of "Friends" on Ebay. This CD has better sound, better artwork and is an overall improvement over the original greatest hits on Hot. Amii Stewart deserves an upgrade and this CD release does just that.

Amii Stewart has the most powerful voice of the disco era, and no one can beat it! Though she did not get the promotional attention in the US, she is an internationally renowned artist!!!!!!

This is an exact duplicate of the (still available, it seems) Knock On Wood: The Best Of CD released by Hot Productions in 1996, except that the essential track Friends has been omitted, likely because it was recorded at a later date for a different record label. No surprise, therefore, that the amazon sales rank on release day shows as zero. Cannot fault the music itself, but even the most hardcore Amii Stewart fan will think twice about buying this. Perhaps one day they will be treated to Ms. Stewart's elusive 1980 - 85 recordings, most of which have never seen the light of day on CD. As chart hits go, this more or less represents the best, but the earlier Hot Proiductions release is better, thanks to the inclusion of Friends which was a Number 1 hit in Italy, Amii Stewart's adopted country, and a Top 20 hit in the UK.

This is the absolute best collection ever by Amii Stewart!!! Every song on this CD is definitely worth a million dollars!!! Her best songs were Knock On Wood, You Really Touched My Heart, Light My Fire, and, my personal favorite, Jealousy. Though Amii Stewart was not as famous in the United States, she was the Donna Summer of Europe, and last year she was the Italian UNICEF Ambassadeur.

This CD is worth every penny of your purchase! So, if you're into the flashy disco scene, pull out your debit card and order this today!!!
