5.0 out of 5 stars The ESSENTIAL Brother Beyond
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars some of the worst Stock Aitken Waterman stuff ever...

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.

So, if Stock Aitken Waterman is your reason for considering this compilation, don't bother.
