Customer Reviews
play it - love it
The mix of music is perfect.Lulu was great and loved Valantine moon. Gave as christmas presents all round.
Great album - but not much for the long time fan
I can't argue with the sound of this music. It is all of the highest quality.
Tuxedo Junction always makes me smile, as do most of the other tracks. I would suggest people hunt out the three 'And Friends' albums, as I reckon they could pick those up for not much more than this best of, and have three times as much music, without missing much.
The only issue I have with this album (hence missing the fifth star) is that there is not much incentive to buy this album if you already own the three aforementioned 'And Friends' albums. A better idea would have been to do a retrospective of Jools' solo (or non Squeeze) career, which spans the best part of 25 years, thus giving more 'new' material to more people.
That said, the music is all good, and if you want to smile like a loon, and dance like one too, this album is for you!
