Customer Reviews

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.

simply the best!!!
i have been a simply red fan for a long time now and i can honestly say that this is one of the best albums i have ever heard. the cd kicks off with 'holding back the years' which displays hucknall's more sensitive side and the haunting melodies can be emotional to say the least. every track stands out on this album particularly 'its only love', 'stars', 'something got me started' and 'for your babies'. if, like me, you decide to purchase this cd then you will see hucknall at his best as he displays his amazing vocal ranges. top cd.

Pleasure at the Fairground
Has anyone ever wondered who Mick has pleasured at the fairground - one day I hope it will be me. Untill that day comes I will have to suffice with listening to the GENIUS that is Mick, as slick with his lyrics as he is with the ladies, his work is timeless as is his look (Where can I buy a Ruby tooth? - SLICK). There are only two other men that deserve to walk the earth with Mick, the legendary crooner David 'the Hoff' Hasslehoff (I excitedly await the duet) and the original action man Steven Seagal. Can anyone tell me if these three scholars use the same barber!!
