Customer Reviews

Simply Excellent
I can't say i'm a massive Simply Red fan or anything. My music taste is soul music from most eras.
But I do have the upmost respect for Mick Hucknell and his music.

This greatest hits package is a must for any music lover.
Simply Red's music is very easy to listen to, and Mr Hucknells voice is really smooth.

Some of the killer tracks on here are of course most of the album!
But from the poinent "Money's Too Tight to Mention" to the beautiful "Holding back the years", to tracks in and its already a master peice.
The infectious "Something Got Me Started" and "A New Flame" are two of my favourite simply red tracks.
"Stars" and "For Your Babies" are just classic tunes, and "Fairgorund" although it sounds a tad dated now, back in the 90's it was unique and total brillience.

As I said before, I can't say i'm a maissve Simply Red fan, but from a guy who loves music, it is easy to appreicate the output from Simply Red.

Simply great!
A must have CD for Simply Red fans. My personal faves are: 'Holding Back The Years', 'Stars', and 'For Your Babies'. 'Fairground' is also quite a catchy number. There are a couple of dull tracks though, the one that springs to mind is 'Thrill Me' which quite frankly, doesn't. Apart from that it's a good buy.

One of my top-10 CD's
I have a couple of Simply Red's CD's and so it's kind of easy to buy this "best of". It is one of my all-time favourites, and as a collection it can provide listening music, dance music, and quality background music all on the same disc. Let me just name the tracks I really like: "Holding Back The Years", great dancing music with "Money's Too Tight to Mention", "A New Flame", "You've Got It", "If You Don't Know Me By Now", "Stars", and "For Your Babies". Come on - 7 top tracks out of 15 - this just cries out to be one of my top-10 CD's.
