5.0 out of 5 stars Miracles, the essential collection..., November 6, 2005

Among others, when I happened upon this collection, I thought that I too would be "ripped off!" Boy was I wrong, not only is the entire "City of Angles" album on this disc, but other Miracle hits such as "Don't cha Love it" and "Do it Baby" are included. You can purchase this disc at domestic prices and it is one of the best bargains around! Just to let you know, if Motown ever releases the albums, I will buy them, for SENTIMENTAL REASONS. These were songs/times of my life and are therefore priceless!! I give the disc FIVE STARS!!

This review is from: The Miracles, The Essential Collection (Audio CD)

One of Motown's long lost "Concept" a;bums of the mid 70's is finally back in print. The Miracles "City of Angels" album is one of the best albums put out by Motown in the 70's. And I am glad to have this in my collection, after hearing for years as a kid through my parnts' vinyl collection. And all the bonus songs
after the "City of Angels" is an even more special treat to have as well. Eventually i hope they will release the actual albums "Rennaisance", and "Dont 'cha love it" But for now this makes up for lost time

i've been waiting for this album for a very long time and at last, thanks to the people involved in reviving this...songs in this album are so classic that it's been played in movies, tv, and any place i could think of...my favorite is CITY OF ANGELS, such a beautiful melody..and SMOG, oh what a composition...too bad "they no longer make this kind of music"...at least i could take a deep breath now, just pop this baby in my player, and do some reminiscing...ahhh, the joy of music...
