3.0 out of 5 stars Not a good Fixx...., January 9, 2005

By	Tim Brough "author and music buff" (Springfield, PA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Warning shot....the versions of "Stand Or Fall" and "Red Skies" are inferior live versions. This collection also does not include any tracks from albums after "Walkabout."

The "Ultimate Collection" has the studio versions from "Shuttered Room" and songs from 3 more albums, and is the better buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars VERY SOLID, BUT BEWARE!!!, September 26, 1999

By	[e-mail] (CT, USA) - See all my reviews

THIS IS A VERY SOLID OVERVIEW OF THE FIXX'S CAREER, BUT IT IS NOT COMPLETE. "RED SKIES" IS A RE-RECORDING, AND "STAND OR FALL" IS LIVE. FOR THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS OF BOTH THOSE SONGS, YOU'LL HAVE TO GET "SHUTTERED ROOM" OTHERWISE, I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DISC. IS NOT "SAVED BY ZERO" ONE OF THE BEST SINGLES OF THE 80s?

3.0 out of 5 stars One Notable Mistake, August 4, 2002

By	Brian D. Rubendall (Oakton, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Synth-rock new wavers The Fixx hit their stride on about four or five decent singles. Like many such groups from the early 1980s, their albums were loaded with fairly bland filler material between the obvious hits. That said, this Greatest Hits package collects the most obvious highlights, including the catchy "One Thing Leads to Another," the U2-like "Red Skies," the almost funky "Saved By Zero" and "Are We Ourselves," that were staples of rock radio (and MTV) circa 1982-1984. The one glaring error in this collection is the inclusion of a live version of "Stand or Fall" rather than the original studio recorded single. The live recording is unfortunately inferior, and since it is one of the few vital Fixx songs, this mistake weakens the collection. The rest of the material included sounds dated today and serves as a reminder why this band came and went so quickly.

Overall, "One Thing Leads to Another" contains all of The Fixx most fans will ever need with that one glaring exception.
