The ESSENTIAL Brother Beyond,
By
This review is from: Very Best of Brother Beyond (Audio CD)
Brother Beyond and their "Northern Soul" sound are well represented on this collection. Their two biggest selling hits, "The Harder I Try" and "He Ain't No Competition" are presented in both their single and extended versions. It was nice to hear Stock/Aitken/Waterman expand their sound from their standard formula. The two songs show that they were about slick pop and not just cowbells and handclaps.
Their other hits, "Be My Twin", "Drive On", "When Will I See You Again" (The old Three Degrees chestnut) and "The Girl I Used to Know" (their one US hit), are wonderfully remastered here. This was a great addition to my collection.

some of the worst Stock Aitken Waterman stuff ever...,

This review is from: Very Best of Brother Beyond (Audio CD)
as a big fan of the SAW hi-nrg stuff, research led me to their writing and production for Brother Beyond. I was excited to find that those few songs were included on this inexpensive collection, along with the 12" versions! Unfortunately, The Harder I Try and He Ain't no Competition are straightforward boy band pop tracks of the late 80s, with none of that trademark SAW sound. So, if Stock Aitken Waterman is your reason for considering this compilation, don't bother.
