Truly the Very Best of this very underrated pop-soul group!, January 29, 2000
This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)
Well, it sure is pretty cool that I'm the first one to be able to review this cool collection. However, it just goes to prove that Londonbeat just hasn't received much attention in this country since "I've Been Thinking About You" was a number 2 hit in 1990, which was number 1 already in most European countries. Anyway, their first single "9 A.M. (The Comfort Zone)" I don't like at all, but their next one, "Failing in Love Again", is the first track on this album and begins it rather well. Next came "Thinking" which I remember seeing the video to, "A Better Love" in 1991, "You Bring On The Sun" in 1992, but then I didn't hear from them again 'til '95, with their catchy tune "Come Back". My other favorites on this CD are "I'm Just Your Puppet On A...(String)", "She Broke My Heart In 36 Places", "It's In The Blood', "All Born Equal" and "Step Inside My Shoes". So, now, I had learned from this album's back cover and liner notes that Londonbeat had seven hit singles in the U.K., while being almost ignored in the U.S. That sure is a shame. However, I recommend this collection highly, it's decent quality funky R&B-Soul music!

I bought this for my hubby because he said they were SO AWESOME. I have to admit, they are really great!! The case was cracked, but the CD was perfect.
