5.0 out of 5 stars A Single-Disc Air Supply Collection That Truly Has ALL Their Hits, July 1, 2007

This review is from: Lost in Love: The Best of Air Supply (Audio CD)

There have been many Air Supply hits collections released over the years, but this album may very well be the ONLY single-disc collection of theirs (including imports) to include all 13 of their U.S. "Hot 100" chart singles. Particularly notable is the inclusion of the oft-forgotten "Lonely Is The Night". This was Air Supply's last chart hit (#76 in 1986). It hadn't yet been recorded when their original "Greatest Hits" album was released in 1983 and it was also excluded from 1999's "Definitive Collection", 2003's "Ultimate Air Supply" and 2005's "Love Songs". (Although it did finally turn up on 2004's "Platinum & Gold" Collection). So technically, if you're looking for a truly complete hits collection from Air Supply, this is definitely the one to get.

This particular collection also features another rarity of sorts in that the first two songs are from Air Supply's first album, "Love And Other Bruises" in 1976. (This was four years before they broke through with the international smash "Lost In Love" in 1980). The songs, "Empty Pages" and "Love And Other Bruises", show the duo in a much less orchestrated state than what most of their hits are known for.

The booklet includes some liner notes and a few photos of the guys, as well as information on which albums the songs came from, and the Pop Chart positions of the 13 songs that made the chart.

For the Air Supply enthusiast, this collection covers 1976-1986. If you're looking for a collection that covers their later work, you would most likely be better served by the 2-disc import "Forever Love" which covers 1980-2001. But as mentioned before, if you want just strictly the hits, this album is the way to go. As for sound quality, this album sounds every bit as good as "Ultimate Air Supply" and "Platinum & Gold". If you have either one of those albums, you'll know what I mean.

Now a suggestion for the folks at Sony BMG/Arista. How about including Air Supply in your 2-disc "Essential" series?? With 2 discs, there would be plenty of room for all 13 of their chart hits as well as album cuts and rarities (like the original Australian version of "Lost In Love" that turned up on "Definitive Collection"). Just a thought...I'd really like to see "The Essential Air Supply" sometime!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly essential compilation for any listener, October 11, 2007

This review is from: Lost in Love: The Best of Air Supply (Audio CD)

Luis Mejia (son) - this Air Supply compilation, The Best Of Air Supply, is definitively the perfect compilation with a group of beautiful, cohersive hits from one of the most important soft rock bands, and certainly the best for starting to listen to them. Containing a set of international hits from their most important albums, like their three greatest studio albums: Lost In Love, containing their most impressive vocal performance in the title track Lost In Love (#5), The international, extremely famous and melodic All Out Of Love (#2), Every Woman In The World (#5), and the dramatic Chances; The One That You Love, being their international breakthough, this compilation contains its hits Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You) (#5), the theatrically driven title track The One That You Love (#1), and the heavily orchestrated Sweet Dreams (#5); and their last brilliant successful album, Now And Forever, containing the magical/best Even The Nights Are Better (#5), the melodic but kind of dull Young Love (#38), and the most beautiful, romantic Two Less Lonely People In The World (#38). Of course, it also contains the all time classic, super potent Making Love Out Of Nothing At All. It results even impressive to see also in this album more exentric but still beautiful minor hits in their earliest albums like Love And Other Bruises, Air Supply and even Hearts In Motion, as these minor hits does not put the listener to compare and contrast, it is just for having different points of view and to enter into a delicate "acquired taste" of Air Supply. The booklet does not contain lyrics but it does contains the songs' titles with their charts position and albums, and most better, the songs' order is cronological and in album order; it also contains a small biography of the band. So, here you have it, as Air Supply live their gratest potential throughout their hits, I strongly suggest to buy a compilation first, and most adequate The Best Of Air Supply, containing the most of their romantic, famous and most brilliant compositions in an specific order and with few but consistent and comprehensible traces of minor hits to enter into an acquired taste for Air Supply, but for die hard fans don't expect The World Is... or The Book Of Love, much less Across The Concrete Sky and Air Supply 1976. After buying this compilation, if you were convinced and may want to explore their studio efforts, I strongly recommend to buy first Lost In Love and/or The One That You Love, both their finest and most famous moments in studio, and later you may want to check out their last platinum Now And Forever, but just AFTER one of this two and this ESSENTIAL compilation, as if you got the message of Now And Forever, you may have gotten a strong taste for Air Supply and buy any of their other albums, at last, who would say romantic ballads are 'dated'!
