5.0 out of 5 stars
Renders previous 'Greatest Hits' obsolete,
By Erik Vitols (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)
This collection contains pretty much every hit and great album track by the Fixx, including the non-MCA label hits and tracks. It also contains the studio versions of 'Stand or Fall' and 'Red Skies' as opposed to the inferior live versions on the previous collection. The CD also contains a few songs in the single edit form - only a minor distraction if you're used to the album versions. The collection still contains the long version of 'Deeper and Deeper', which is the definitive version. The sound on here is much improved over the '89 collection, without any goofy remixes. If you don't own any Fixx CDs (most are out of print anyway), this is compensation enough. Also comes with great liner notes and peak positions for the songs - great for chart freaks (like me). If you like '80's music, get this CD!

"Ultimate Collection" indeed!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)
This is the collection Fixx fans have been waiting for! 19 tracks in all! The sound is amazing, and the packaging is great. Adam Woods wrote some cool track by track notes, and there's release date/selection number information on all of the singles. This collection also makes good on the errors of the "Greateat Hits" package from 10 years ago: this collection includes the original versions of "Stand Or Fall" and "Red Skies" from their "Shuttered Room" album; the original Greatest Hits had re-records and/or live versions. Also, many of the songs here are presented in their 7" remix and/or edit form. Plus, the song "Going Overboard" has never been on CD before! It was the b-side to "Saved By Zero." What else do you need to know? "Driven Out" has been out of print for years, and "Two Different Views" is from the very rare "Happy Landings" EP (different from the version on "Elemental.") If you don't own anything by The Fixx, this is a great place to start! And if you are a diehard fan, this includes a lot of collectables that have never been on CD before. Buy it buy it BUY IT!

The Best of the Fixx.,
By
This review is from: Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)
This compilation surpasses the 1989 Greatest Hits collection that I've had for the past 10 years. Not only are the tracks digitally remastered but there are more tracks. This compilation covers their 1991 and 1997 cds which the previous collection did not. All the great songs are here for those of us who remember who the Fixx were/are. This is a must have for any rock collector.
