This cd does not have many of the original versions that I enjoyed as a youth. Most are cut off half way through to make room for more songs.

The hits, and more than a few misses, are all here. If that's what you're looking for, you're in the right place. Probably the most efficient way of getting most of the good stuff. Unfortunately, the dreck comes right along with it. Such is life.

I had to write a review for this hits collection because I completely disagree with the other sole reviewer. First of all, it is very well remastered. Sounds superb! Second of all, songs are NOT chopped off half-way through them. It is true... these are not the 12-inch dance-floor versions. They are the single versions!!! But, they are not abruptly edited, as the other reviewer may have led you to believe. Ultimate Collection has a well-represented collection of tracks from Shalamar's discography, even a few tracks from the pre-Howard Hewett period. The cd does not get five stars from me, however, because there are TOO MANY selections coming from the synthesizer-heavy late-'80s. Perhaps 17 tracks on an album is too much of a good thing sometimes! Otherwise, I have NO complaints!!!
