Simply Red "Stretched and Reconstructed" Album Review

An odd mish-mosh of mixes...some collectibles...
This bizarre compilation could probably have benefited from a 2 disc set, considering some of their dance chart hits and mixes were left off and I believe a couple of these mixes are edits...I know for sure "Thrill Me" has about a half a minute shaved off. And the inclusion of the Club 69 DUB of "Ain't That a Lot of Love" is a HUGE disappointment, considering the vocal mix has never surfaced on CD as far as I know. Then there's the inclusion of a later house mix of Money's Too Tight and not the original 12" (although, this version is very hot). I'm sure other's might have some gripes about some of the song selection, but I think everyone could have been happy if the label had really gone for it and given us a 2-disc set. Track times:


1. fairground (5:33)
2. holding back the years (5:41)
3. it's only love (5:46)
4. the right thing (5:34)
5. ain't that a lot of love (6:36)
6. money's too tight (7:24)
7. Jericho (6:01)
8. come to my aid (5:03)
9. thrill me (5:26)
10. your eyes (4:41)
11. love has said goodbye again (5:14)
12. ghetto girl (3:44)
13. angel (4:07)

Sweetbox "Greatest Hits" Album Review

A True Masterpeice
This Album is a Greatest of, and it is exactly that. The true gems from sweetbox like "Chyna Girl" and "For the Lonley" are rare in a world of over processed pop bands and Jessica Simpsons. Any true Sweetbox fan will love this CD and the great songs that are on it. Even non-fans or people who dont know sweetbox might like this collection. It is worth every penny. This is a real Greatest Hits collection.
