This CD has it all. From the 80's classic "Operator"," No Parking on the dance floor". And my personal favorite " Freak a zoid". It also covers their sweeter side with "Slow Jam" and " Midas Touch". This cd is a must buy for any Midnight Star Fan. But for us who are just a little bit more "HARDCORE". What is reason why " Electricty" is not on this cd?. Can someone please tell me why one of the greatest party jams was ignored from this fantastic line up? They could have taken out the "Slow Jams" Live version to fit that classic song on otherwise an incredible cd. But for those who are serious fans, you allready have it on cd anyway. But for those who don't have this cd. Here's is your chance to enjoy one of the greatest live bands around.

Was initially excited that they were releasing this compilation but dont like the remixes...love the original versions..they sound as good today as they did in the 80's!

I wish they had the original music on all the tracks, some of them sounded spacey cause they were remixed.

Well, If I had a chance why not, cos I've been fed up with the gangsta rap and notorious r&b. Everthing is the same and repetitive, most of them contain explicit lyrics and stuff.Even some r&b albums have!In a word, I dispise the way they do nowadays. Where's my lost 80's?I wanna get my headband, old school adidas and my portable stereo on my shoulder, put my shell-toe sneaker on and listen to Midnight Star all night long. Dance floor is just 2 steps ahead. Some breakdancers have been waiting us for ages. Ok, let's begin with 'Midas Touch' and then 'Wet My Whistle' ,hey dont touch this beat girl:'Operator'. You're getting used to well now but you need to put some slow jams on chilling-out.'How about 'Slow Jam' or underrated 'Move Me'(which is not on this cd) or 'The Love of my Life'? And let's finish the party with 'No Parking On The Dancefloor' and 'Hot Spot'...Next time you're invited to groove with Cameo, Atlantic Starr, BB&Q Band, Slave, Aurra, Break Machine, West Street Mob, Glenn Jones, Kool & The Gang, Alexander O'Neal, Grandmaster Flash, Lakeside, Shalamar, Rocksteady Crew,Whispers and many more...
Every track is first class on this cd. Therefore it deserves 5 star. Midnight Star will bring the memories back as you listen to this excellent cd.

I bought this Midnight Star album several years ago and still love it! One funky song after the next! From Freak-A-Zoid, to Curious, to the very similar songs Wet My Whistle and Midas Touch, this band had it all with their series of hit songs. Loads of funky grooves and the smart balance of modern technology with a live band sound too. Don't Rock The Boat, Headlines, the heavy funk of Operator and Snake in the Grass--nonstop songs that had me dancing! Liked the last song they did live, Slow Jam--yes, they could be kicking it on the ballads too! I hope that this band considers making another album soon, because they could do well with it!

My oh my, when i first listened to this album after 12 years since i last heard the song midas touch, the hair on my arms shivered. I can't think of a better way to expose the 80's to my kids and younger friends. The band was played a lot on the dance floor and their music kind of got stuck in my head, u could almost feel the scent when entering the disco and when played, people where kicking it to late nite. The music from this period of time made a mark in our society and a lot of groups as: The Whispers,Timex social club,The Time,The Fatback Band,Alexander O'neal and many more got a whole new generation to listen to soul and funk. Today i'm kinda tierd of listening to all the new music and i hope some of this great bands releases new songs for us who never gonna quit listening to what they had to say. Roberto Baath (SWEDEN)

The Right Stuff label continues to release compilation CD's of Solar Records core audiences. I highly recommend the Shalamar, Lakeside and Whispers Best of's that are out there. And this is a good one, too. As a fan of "Midas Touch" I was pleasantly surprised to find that the rest of these songs brought back Old School memories, as well. Basically, these are good songs. Old School, lives.

The Greatest Hits CD Curious, Make it last ,Freak A Zoid, wet my whistle, no parking on the dance floor, oporator, midas Touch, this is my favorite group of the 70's 80's era dont sleep some of the best rnb come from the 70's 80's
