Amazon.co.uk Review
Remembered as one of the great musical families, The Osmonds: Ultimate Collection is a two-disc set of their finest moments as both a group and solo performers. CD1 opens with what is to many their most memorable moment, the absurd rock classic "Crazy Horses", which is in stark contrast to the following "Love Me For a Reason", the ballad brought to a new generation by Boyzone. The gentle crooning continues for a good few songs until "Hold Her Tight", another rocker with a guitar riff not unlike "Celebration Day" by Led Zeppelin. "One Bad Apple" is a pop soul ditty in a vein of that other pop dynasty, the Jackson 5, with little Donny taking a shot at the high, screechy vocals a la little Michael.

Disc 2 features the solo highlights from Donny (swoon), Marie and Little Jimmy. Fans of S Club 8 might well recognise the evergreen "Puppy Love", Donny's signature song and on the subject of child pop stars who can forget Little Jimmy's "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool". However, unlike the Jackson 5, the solo Osmonds were not as great as the sum of their parts, CD2 is alright, but CD1 is unquestionably better. --Georgina Collins

Customer Reviews

Buy it! Buy it now!
I bought this album thinking that the only songs i would like would be 'crazy horses' and 'love me for a reason'. After all, they are a boyband that not many people remember, and even less confess to have liked. How wrong i was.

After listening to this album a couple of times i was hooked, and it hasn't left my cd player. I am now a devoted Osmond fan, even if it's 30 years too late.

Disc one is my favourite, as the second is mostly hits by Donny and Marie, several of which are covers of other artists work.

These songs are so well written and performed, it would be hard not to fall in love with them unless you despise all things pop.

Being a teenager myself, i am sure these songs could still be popular in the charts as they stick to a classic formula which withstands the test of time, while still being original.

The Osmonds produced so many amazing songs - from romantic ballads to rockier hits. If you are new to the Osmonds work, or have been a fan for years, this is a brilliant collection that everyone will enjoy. I highly recommend this cd to everyone!

PS. If you liked this cd i recommend trying to find the original records - it gets even better!

best of donny and the gang
this double CD is so worth the money if you are a Osmond fan it got all the hits and more songs from donny osmaond
the best track is by donny himself called All out of love.
it is so relaxing and always sends me to sleep.
go on and treat yourself
enjoy!!!

The Ultimate collection The Osmonds
A must for all osmonds fans, after watching being the Osmonds on Saturday night I had to go out and get this Album the next day, Having been a Osmond fan for 30 years I own several of best of ect albums, but this has got to be the best of them all, Disc 1 is the better of the two discs, with a recently recorded Love me for a Reason track, Disco 2 has Donny Marie & Jimmy, An album well worth the money.
