Living Color is one of my all-time favorite groups but this collection can hardly be called a "greatest hits" package.

If you are looking for a cd that showcases the diversity of the band's musical influences, I suggest you buy PRIDE instead. Not only does it contains many of these "super hits" but also some previously unreleased tracks and other omissions like:

"Love Rears Its Ugly Head", "Memories Can't Wait", "Funny Vibe", "Glamour Boys", "Solace Of You" and "What's Your Favorite Color?"

I have no idea why the record company would even bother releasing this half-baked disk when PRIDE is available for the same price. In any case, this is a great band that deserves your unbiased ear.

This is an interesting, if nonesssential budget-CD greatest-hits compo with their cover of Hendrix's "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" which is not available on any other release. Its a decent intro, and contains the absolute barest essentials from _Vivid_ but the selection from _Time's Up_ ... and only one song from _Stain_ leaves something to be desired. Still worth picking up for fans if you dont have the Hendrix cover elsewhere - plus its dirt cheap.

This is a budget "best of." The sound is not the best in the world. There are some of their great songs, but many that are not here. What is needed is a true "best of" done up like the remaster "Vivid" CD.

Vivid and Pride have a much better arangement, but practically all the hits are here on this one cd. If I were you, I would buy them all. I have them. You just cant go wrong with Living Colour. The brilliant guitar of Vernon Reid, the soulful lyrics of Corey Glover. Yes, its not Vivid or Pride, but for the price, its worth getting to ad to your collection....Its Living Colour isnt it?

This does have all the "Big Hits", but this band is so much more!!! Check out "Vivid" for a all out non-stop rock n roll fest!!!!

Living coulour was definetely a great unique heavy metal band. Their style really hasn't been matched. Super hits really provides a good summary of their career with songs like pride, open letter to the landlord, and pride. There is also a cover a jimi hendrix's burning the midnight lamp. Hopefully this album will show how why living colour is such an important band.

i always enjoyed this group.something that is downplayed a rock-n-roll black group? they had the chops of vernon reid&corey clover leading the crew.cult of personality,elvis is dead which features little richard is great.it's great to see african-americans playing rock-n-roll since it was created by african-americans but has since been downplayed.living colour was a good group.
