5 out of 5 stars Brings Back A Lot of Memories!.......2006-05-29

Curiosity Killed the Cat was one of my favorite bands back in the 80's and given their talent and unique sound I still can't believe that they weren't well received in the United States. Anyway, fans will enjoy this collection as it contains most of their hits and well known tracks (although I do agree that "Red Lights" should've been included, as another reviewer pointed out). For those unfamiliar with this band, their style is a jazzy, soulful type of pop- a much more sophisticated sound than most of the music of that era. It is upbeat and smooth at the same time- appropriate for all moods whether you feel like dancing, relaxing, or being romantic. If you're nostalgic for the 80's, give this album a listen and experience their underrated talent for yourself. This is a must for all fans of 80's British pop.

5 out of 5 stars A good compilation to get the idea.......2003-07-25

I'm their fan since "Down To Earth" entered the UK charts in January 1987. The first album "Keep Your Distance" was a huge success partly because all four (Ben, Miguel, Nick and Julian) look good, partly because of producer Stewart Levine and partly because of the hidden fifth member Toby Anderson; But should have been because of great music. This compilation includes most of this album, but misses "Know What You Know" and "Red Lights" - I'd say all tracks from the first album should be obligatory. But inclusion of "Curiosity..." is worth of mentioning, I have seen similar compilations without this one. Their second album "Get Ahead" (1989) was considered a commercial failure, although it's worth of listening. Their third album "Back To Front" (1994) can be left to store, because some BMG sublabel, after taking the band over from Phonogram (or was it Polygram?), has definitely forced the guys into trying to please teenage auditory again with cover versions of ancient disco hits such as "Killing Me Softly" and "Hang On In There", though some good original tracks can be found there too. Luckily, this compilation is made of only the material of the two first albums (with exception of "Bullet", which was the B-side of "Ordinary Day", and "Ball & Chain"). Buy the record, and you get a chance to listen to the best sophisticated white soul of the eighties. If you want to get more or get it all, you should search for the albums instead.

5 out of 5 stars Little Known Band -- Great Music.......2003-06-25

I was stationed in England in 1987 with the Air Force and saw these guys in a club. Very cool show. Smooth, layered, jazzy, thoughtful lyrics, very talented musicians. Buy the album, you will really enjoy them. Wet, Wet, Wet is a band from the same era and musical style, although a little more poppy.
