A compilation of the third and fourth Raspberries releases. Unfortunately the fourth release "Starting Over" was considered the 1974 record of the year at the same time the band disbanded. As with the prior release you are entertained with 19 tracks of RASPBERRIES greatness. The production greatness of Overnight Sensation(Hit Record) even in 1974 is unsurpassed to date! The Smile, Jimmy Ienner produced all their efforts as well as the early Stevie Nicks. He was THE GAME. Thank for stemming the British Invasion and keeping Gator Growl 1973 in check.

5.0 out of 5 stars ACE!, March 5, 2000

THE two classic Raspberries albums on one c.d! Altogh three of my favourites songs("LETS PRETEND","DONT WANT TO SAY GOODBYE" and "Go all the way" are on the first two albums, i find the last two as more consistent. "ECSTACY" is one of the best songs ever, Carmen vocals are on the highest pitch, Bryson plays like Twonsend, and Bonfaty kills his drums. "LAST DANCE" & "TONIGHT" ARE SUPERB,and Dave Smally on "HARD TO GET OVER A HARD BREAK" is excellent. IT IS very easy to fall in love with some of the songs on "Starting over"(their final l.p.), The theme's song+ "I could hardly belive your mine",are just beautiful 'Small Faces'ish. Scott mCcarl, is a hungry young man that blows everything with "play on" and the haunting 'Rose coloured glasses". Altogh,there are some O.k. songs here and there(Bryson's weak 'Party's over') The overall are some perfect pop songs, from a perfect band

The second in a two disc set, this killer collection houses the last two albums in the Raspberries all too brief career, Side 3 and Starting Over. I can't say that there aren't moments on this disc that don't come up to the level of the rest, Should I Wait and Money Down being the two that come to mind, but the inclusion of Tonight, Ecstacy, Overnight Sensation, I Don't Know What I Want, and Starting Over on one disc washes over any weak moments that the band might encounter. This is a great way to own the Raspberries albums on cd if you don't happen to live in Japan where they apparently have a greater appreciation for fine music. (It's the only explanation I can think of.)
