This CD has all the original recordings. It's superb!! I have heard 3 versions of Welcome Me Love and Blessed Is The Rain, and although they are still good, the originals are still the best!! You won't be disappointed with this purchase, it's truly The Greatest (and original) Hits of Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn Bridge. P.S. Their concerts are still fantastic to this day. Great band!!

I've looked for this cd for years. I finally found it. What a surprise. Great songs,takes me back. Blessed is the rain is without a doubt one of the greatest songs ever. I strongly recommend this one!

this cd is love in the making........what a great cd.....the brooklyn bridge outdid themselves time after time.....and this lovely record proves it...........it has all their hits and will take you back to an era when words and music gave you the feeling that someone cared, if you loved each other, you could make it through the roughest times......johnny mathis, move over..just a tad.......i'd forgotten....my heart melted as these tunes flooded my memory......enjoy

The Brooklyn Bridge is one of those bands whose music has never really been properly represented. I wasn't around in the late 1960's or early 1970's so the following info is to the best of my knowledge. The band had 4 albums, 5 if you count the soundtrack for a film titled "Grasshopper" that the band appeared on. The first album was released in '68. It was actually self titled although it has some times been referred to as the "Worst that could happen" album. The second album, know as "The second album" was released in '69. The third album from '70 is where things get tricky. The third album,like the first album was also self titled. When discussing the bands self titled album(s), you have to verify what songs are on it. The third album included a cover of "Nights in white satin." The bands final album was released in I belive '72. This one was titled "Bridge in Blue." If my memory also serves, I belive at that point the band had for some reason shotrened its name to simply "Bridge." This compilation only really represents the 1st two albums. Yes there are a lot of good songs on it. But there could have been more. Songs like "Echo park" and "Nights in white satin" should have been included. It would been nice if someone would release the actual 4 albums on CD. That way no songs are left out. Like my title reads: Great band - Fair compilation.

Memorable... is the best I can say. It is nice to hear the resounding voice of Johnny Maestro again. The track, "The Worst That Could Happen" is his best since "Sixteen Candles", recorded with the Crests too many years ago !

great quality, great sound from a great group. Johnny Maestro's got a wonderful voice..I would love to see him in person but The Greatest Hits will have to do. If he ever comes to Salt Lake City, Utah, I'm there.

Back in 2001 I just started getting cd's, and this one was one of my firsts I got. Now even though I've evolved more into the world of Psych. I still listen to this great cd. The songs "Glad She's A Women" and "Blessed Is The Rain" are especially good. They kinda make me feel rested and relaxed. All in all a great compilation of a great group.

I have had this album for many years and was thrilled to find it in CD form. It doesn't have every song that was on the original album, but just about every one. I love it!

This Greatest Hits selection contains the original hits. I've been burned by buying another Brooklyn Bridge CD that is all remakes, and the last iTunes songs for this group are no exception. This is the good one!

There was never a doubt if I would like the album. The only question would be the quality of the CD and the delivery time. Both were excellent.
