5.0 out of 5 stars Contains Every Billboard Hot 100 Charting Single!, July 31, 2006

Every Loverboy Billboard Hot 100 single is featured on this collection -- all 14 of them, including the Mike Reno/Ann Wilson collaboration on "Almost Paradise". Some fans may complain that we don't need another Loverboy hits package. However, I believe it is the very first one to include all 14 charting singles. Missing from the tracklisting are those singles which "bubbled under" the Hot 100 and mainstream album rock charting tracks. But, a solid tracklisting and a nice price tag should please most casual fans.

The real treat here is the solid remastering by Joseph M. Palmaccio at Sony Music Studios, New York. As far as I know, these recordings have never sounded crisper and cleaner. While I'll give the mastering a solid grade throughout I still think the music does have the potential to sound even better. It doesn't quite have the depth I would have expected in comparison to other recordings of that time. Nonetheless, this is probably the best-sounding Loverboy collection on the market today.

Contains every Hot 100 hit these Canadian AOR hard-popsters had,including "Working For The Weekend","Turn Me Loose","Hot Girls In Love","The Kid Is Hot Tonite","This Could Be The Night" and the songs from "Footloose"("Almost Paradise" with Ann Wilson of Heart)and "Top Gun"(Heaven In Your Eyes".Both the sonics and the liner notes are top-notch as well.Though four songs shorter than "Loverboy Classics",it's a tighter,more fun collection.
