Best of 2

CD's good as new! Sounds great!

This is a nice compilation. specially they include the song "The Miracle" which is from the album "HEAVY".But it's better they combine the two volumes into 1 disc. So that it will have a longer playing time.Two thumbs up....

The immortal music.

they were unique. you must own all the hits vol. 1 &2. they're not for everyone, of course. but who is. many cuts not released as singles just as good as those that were.

meets all expectations

great old school CD. So many stylistics classics. Recommendedone of the best greatest hits highly to any stylistics fan. Incredible price.

In 1975, The Stylistics had one of their hits songs, "Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)," become a #1 hit in the UK. While their chart fortunes in the US were about to take a temporary lull (most of these songs only made the lower reaches of the US R&B chart), things were just heating up across the pond. Several of the group's albums and singles were big hits over there, and one of their greatest hits compilations also made it to #1 on the British album chart. The one song included here from the group's Philly Soul days ("You'll Never Get To Heaven"), will be familiar to most American listeners, and "Sing, Baby, Sing" is a favorite of fans of Carolina Beach music. The other tracks are examples of the kind of disco/pop releases, that made The Stylistics a major force on the NME charts in Britain. Ironically, the hit that started it all for the group in that country, "Can't Give You Anything," was NOT included on this album! If you want that song, it's available on "Greatest Love Hits." I recommend this album only to hardcore, dyed-in-the-wool Stylistics fans. It contains the most slickly-produced of their chart hits, if not the most soulful.

After having purchased the first greatest hits and loved it, I thought that I would buy Vol. 2. BIG MISTAKE. Vol. 1 had all of the Stylistics big hits which covered their first three albums, and also had differant producers than most of the songs on Vol. 2. I feel like I got duped into buying Vol. 2 because of one song, "You'll Never Get To Heaven" which coincidentally was off of one of their first three albums. The rest of the songs on Vol. 2 are musically soulless, lifeless, and heartless.

I must enpecise to Manny for saying that the Stylistics were unique , But i want to tell Manny the this fabulous group the STYLISTICS are still performing in concerts all over the world , I have seen this group for the last 5 years live at Chatham Central Hall ,and they still are fantastic to watch .,Performing all there Hits of past , and would advise to Manny if he could get a ticket to see this FABULOUS group , HE WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED

マントヴァーニは、今年、生誕１００年を迎える。かつてTV放映されていた「マントヴァーニ・ショウ」がDVDで復刻されるなど、改めて脚光を浴びている。そんな中、"The best of… "と題する本CDがリリースされた。デッカのオリジナル音源ではないことは承知していたが、価格が高価なこともあり、新リマスタリングへの期待は残っていた。ところが、聴いてがっくり…。音質も演奏も、大量に出回っている廉価盤と同じではないか！マントヴァーニのCDを選ぶに当たっての注意点は、①デッカ（ロンドン）原盤のCDを選ぶこと、②"Mantovani & his Orchestra"の演奏を選ぶこと（マントヴァーニ亡き後に編成された"The Mantovani Orchestra"のCDは買わないこと）の２点に尽きるようだ。デッカ録音のディスコグラフィについては、"Mantovani Fan Website Japan"を参照されたい。
