Biography

Californian siblings The Pointer Sisters had a number of pop hits in the 70s and 80s in the funk, disco and new wave styles. Their first hit, the gospel-flavoured action call "Yes We Can Can", came from their gold-selling debut self-titled album of 1973. In 1975 they were invited to be the first black female singers to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, after "Fairytale"… Read more in Amazon's The Pointer Sisters Store

4.0 out of 5 stars extended remix collection, May 4, 2002
By A Customer
This "Greatest Hits" CD is unlike any of the others that are out by the Pointer Sisters and there are many. This CD gathers all of their biggest hits for Planet/RCA (1978-1985 on this disc). There are only 13 tracks because 8 of the 13 are extended remixes. The remixed tracks are: "Jump (For My Love)" 6:24, "Neutron Dance" 5:33, "Dare Me" 6:18, "Automatic" 6:06, "I'm So Excited" 5:41, "I Need You" 5:50, "If You Wanna Get Back Your Lady" 6:07, "Freedom" 6:18, and "Baby Come And Get It" 7:15. Plus their pre-dance hits such as "Slow Hand" and "Fire" Note: "Freedom" and "I Need You" are more like mid-tempo ballads than dance mixes. The material presented here is overall great. The disc only clocks in to 71 minutes though. I wish that since there was room for one more track that RCA could've included the extended remix of "Goldmine" 6:20, from 1986. My guess for the reason behind only putting 13 tracks for only 71 minutes worth is because in the late 80s' CDs could only fit a total 74 minutes worth of music like some of the CD-Rs that are out. Also note: if you get the cassette you'll only get 10 of the 13 tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Hits and then some..., June 17, 2005
A great Starter CD for the hits of the Pointer Sisters planet/rca recordings - some of which are the extended dance mixes. For the true Pointer fan, There are a couple of CD compilations that feature all of the planet /rca hits and all of the blue thumb recordings.

1.0 out of 5 stars Excellent selection. Terrible sound quality., January 14, 2003
By 
Ramon Grupe Cacho "oligodermie" (Makati, Metro Manila, The Philippines) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought I had a good compilation when I purchased this, but the sound is just terrible, which makes this a forget-about-it compilation. I have heard very few CDs recorded as badly as this.
