Editorial Reviews

Japanese only SHM paper sleeve pressing. Includes two bonus tracks. The SHM-CD [Super High Material CD] format features enhanced audio quality through the use of a special polycarbonate plastic. Using a process developed by JVC and Universal Music Japan discovered through the joint companies' research into LCD display manufacturing, SHM-CDs feature improved transparency on the data side of the disc, allowing for more accurate reading of CD data by the CD player laser head. SHM-CD format CDs are fully compatible with standard CD players. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Competent compilation of G&C's solo efforts, January 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: History Mix 1 (Audio CD)

Lol Creme and Kevin Godley are probably least known as solo recording artists, but they have released several albums that are entertaining at least and challenging at most (always great cover art, though). As their fifth album "Birds of Prey" was never released in the U.S., it was encouraging for Polydor to release "History Mix" here (as well as its wonderful follow-up "Goodbye Blue Sky"), to some success (including MTV play). Hardly all-inclusive, this collection would be hard-pressed to satisfy anyone: pedestrian listeners (non-fans) would know very few of the songs (most likely from the 10CC remix) while fans would disagree with the admittedly subjective selection. I look at it as a glorified 12" single, though the previous unavailability of several tracks on side two make it a must. I still hear this record played in hip-er clubs and bars. If you like English wit and Zappa, you'd enjoy any of G&C's albums (try "L" and "Goodbye Blue Sky" first, if you can find them). If you're an art student or into media production, find out more about these guys.

You CAN find the song CRY on the CD VH-1 Hits of the 80s. Their CD Crime and Punishment had some great tunes on it. Wish I could find the MP3 song, Crime and Punishment
