5.0 out of 5 stars Brian's Best, June 19, 2000

By	"schmutz" (Commack, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This album is the best I've ever heard. The mechanics of Brian's music is electrifying. It sounds as beautiful today as it did 30 years ago. This music should passed down from generation to generation, not forgotten. This album should listened to and mentally embraced by everyone who listens to it.

3.0 out of 5 stars one singer - two eras, November 22, 2002

By	doowopoldie (Scotland) - See all my reviews

this cd is typical of the record companies - It is aimed at the general 'oldie' lover but not the dyed-in-the-wool fan. It is an album of two halves: pre & post beatles material - i certainly know what i prefer!!. Where are the missing early songs including flipsides and LP tracks? - Brian Hyland made his name as one of the teen idols and this material should be kept separately from the later songs. This could be said of many similar artists i.e. Tommy Roe and Lou Christie - at least 'Rosemary' was included - oh for the complete recordings to 1963.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some hits still missing, August 19, 2002

By	Long Distance Voyager (Hong Kong, China) - See all my reviews

There are several Brian Hyland greatest hits collection available, not one of them has all his hits. For instance, "Baby face", "Lopsided overload" and "Four little heels (The clickity clack song)" are not available in most of these CDs. Luckliy, I have the above three missing songs from other compilations, "Four little heels" from Europe MCA's 1989 release titled "16 Original World Hits - Golden Gate Collection -Brian Hyland", "Baby face" from oldies compilation "Platinum Oldies" released by Hong Kong's WEA, and "Lopsided overloaded" from a friend's old LP transferred to CD. Record companies are accustomed to leave out some hits in the greatest hits compilation, almost all of them adopt this market strategy, so we have to buy more than one CD to get all the hits of one particular artist, if they are still available in the market, but in reality, the missing hits are really hard to find. Let's hope that someday record companies would do more research work before releasing greatest hits CD to fit customers' need.
