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

Great CD but I feel ripped off
This is a great CD full of The Osmonds greatest hits, but it's just "The Ultimate Collection" that was released a few years ago with a cardboard sleeve cover.
I know the Amazon description refers to it as such, however I got mine in Tesco and didn't realise.
So yes, an awesome collection of songs, but if you already have The Ultimate Collection, don't bother with this one, the only difference/addition is the sleeve cover.

A trip down memory lane
I fell in love with donny when i was ten - i'm now 45... Bought this cd last week and haven't stopped listening to it. Brings back loads of memories. It has all the favourites on it and some I haven't heard in years. If you're an osmond fan you'll love listening to this....

Think nutter and you get the picture
I wondered when the nutters would come out of the woodwork? Just look at the head case review below! Such negative people should get themselves sorted out in the head. Maybe if he actually bought this instead of blabbing on about how it then it would sort his head out.
