I'm old enough to have heard KC on the radio when he was still posting in the Top 40 and young enough to have never set foot in a disco (for better or worse).

I have fond memories of the times and the songs and was fully unaware that this CD did NOT contain the original tracks from that by gone era!

Instead the listener is presented with completely remastered material and it shows- horrifically.

The voice is twenty years older and the instrumentals, especially the hot pick guitar segments, are lack luster at best.

If you're looking for the good times with KC and the Sunshine band, look to "The Best of ..." release by Rhino (1990) or the "25th Anniversary Edition".

Both of those collections offer the original material that made you look for it here.

The songs are slightly different versions of the radio hits - but not "live" either. Plus 'My Boogie Shoes' isn't included. I was dissapointed.

These aren't the same versions of the radio hits. If you want the real thing, buy the recordings published by Rhino Records.

KC & The Sunshine Band's Greatest Hits is thirty-nine minutes and thirty-eight seconds long and was released on November 23, 1999. This is not a bad CD; I just don't think it ranks up there as his to ten best albums. The first four songs are their must recognizable; a few I have heard on a rare occasion. The rest are alien to me unless you are a die hard KC & The Sunshine Band fan. Also the last four songs on the CD did not chart. The person reading the comments will have to make their own mind whether or not to buy the CD. KC & The Sunshine Band's Greatest Hits get a C.
