The Commodores Anthology: The Best of the Commodores - Disc 1 of 2 (1995)
Anthology: The Best of the Commodores - Disc 1 of 2\n1995 Motown Record Company, LP\n\nOriginally Released February 7, 1995\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: The revamped 1995 edition of Anthology includes all of the group's hit singles, as well as significant album tracks and singles that didn't chart, making it the definitive portrait of the popular, groundbreaking urban contemporary group. -- Sara Sytsma\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nToo many average songs...., January 19, 2000\nReviewer: John Washington (Detroit, MI USA)\nThere were too many songs on this that i would consider average, at best. Ordinarily I wouldn't mind, BUT they do this at the expense of giving us the full length versions of the classics. Zoom, Just to be close to you, Three times a lady, etc.... are all the 45 (remember those) version, and NOT what is on the original albums. I would have rather heard those longer renditions, and skipped the marginal tunes.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nGreat For Commodore Fans, March 8, 2002\nReviewer: Ibochild (Los Angeles, CA USA)\nEssentially blending sounds of the Temptations and Earth, Wind & Fire, the Commodores were one of Motown's biggest selling acts of the 1970s and early 1980s. Though best known for the ballads sung and co-written by Lionel Richie, the Commodores could also get down and funky as well. Their first chart single "Machine Gun" (written by keyboardist Milan Williams), its flip side "Young Girls Are My Weakness" (written by Ronald LaPread and William King), and "Slippery When Wet" (written by Thomas McClary and Walter Orange), their first #1 R&B are prime examples.\nThis anthology has just about every Commodores recording you could want. All of the major hits are here including "Sweet Love," "Brick House," and "Three Times a Lady." It even includes "Goin' to the Bank," their biggest hit after they left Motown.\n\nSome of the lesser known gems on this collection are "High On Sunshine" (which was almost released as a single), the instrumental jam "Cebu," and "Are You Happy," the latter an early single previously unavailable on album.\n\nOverall, it's a great collection for Commodores fans. If you're a new Commodores fan or just like some of their tracks, you might look for a leaner "Greatest Hits" collection instead. There is definitely a little fat here, particularly on the second CD of this two CD set. Otherwise, this anthology is definitely worth a look. It has several lesser known, but worthwhile cuts that aren't on the recently released anthology.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nBest one-stop Commodores collection, August 1, 1999\nReviewer: A music fan\nI bought this album a few weeks back and I find myself liking a new song after each listening. Lionel and the boys created some real gems. "Sail On" and "Easy" are too beautiful to describe and the more funked out stuff is equally as awesome. It's two discs, so you should find something that pushes your button.\n\nHalf.com Album Notes\nAll tracks are digitally remastered.\nThis is part of the Motown Master series.\nTHE ANTHOLOGY SERIES contains a 20-page booklet with liner notes and rare photos.
This rock cd contains 21 tracks and runs 76min 12sec.
