5.0 out of 5 stars Nicely Remastered Anthology from U.K.'s The Babys!, January 8, 2002
By highway_star (Hallandale, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I always liked this group from day one! John Waite has an excellent voice and it didin't surprise me that he was successful as a solo artist in the 80's. The Baby's put out excellent ballads such as "Isn't It Time" and "Everytime I think of You" (both big hits) as well as great rock n' roll. Songs such as "Head First", "Love Don't Prove I'm Right", and "Back On My Feet Again" (to mention a few) are extremely catchy and very radio friendly. The Baby's (in my opinion) never really made it as big as they should have, but atleast they left us with some great songs and a nice collection of l.p.'s as well. Highly Recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Missing Key Tracks, November 9, 2004
Growing up around the time the Babys were popular. I am very familiar with their records. I must add that this Anthology is missing too many hits. Too of the biggest radio hits at the time were "She's My Girl" and "Too Far Gone". They should be on here. It's a disappointment to me that they are not.

I don't know what is it about The Baby's and John Waite Compilations they are notorious for picking obsecure songs over more popular ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Isn't it ABOUT time???????, March 4, 2003
By Scott Muhlbaier (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had given up hope on this CD. I had stopped checking the bin after about 10 years of frivolously wishing to hear these top-notch tunes like they should be heard. In short, I'VE BEEN WAITING 15 YEARS FOR THIS CD TO BE RELEASED!!!!

There's been a few major gaffes in the world of artist compilations...one being the incredibly ill-advised inclusion of CUT Supertramp songs on the A&M 75th Anniversary disc ("Goodbye Stranger" sliced and diced anyone?). However, none tops the incredibly shoddy original run of this CD released in around 1987. Sounding like Journey's early material (a la recorded on Pluto), I knew it had to get better with the quality of their production team--Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd), Ron Nevison (Heart), Keith Olson (Fleetwood Mac)? A-1 Producers. It had to get better.

Finally, it did. You mean "Isn't it Time" has horns panning out to each channel in the chorus? "Everytime I Think of You" actually has Vibes? Tambourine? An organ finale? All of that was buried under the original horrendous mastering job.

I didn't even know Chrysalis was [signed] up by Capitol in recent times, but thank the stars it was! Thanks to that, possibly the two top songs EVER (IMHO) now sound better than I ever thought they would. I may even let this regular CD share time with the new Aaron Neville DVD-AUDIO disc (a knockout in its own right!) ;).

I have just one more question:

Who the heck is (Jack) Conrad and (Ray) Kennedy...and are they aware (IMHO) they wrote two of the best songs of ALL TIME??????
