Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Companion CD to "Back to 19 Mistakes".......2001-08-15

"Back to 19 Mistakes" (see my review there) gives the essentials of the first two albums "10 Mistakes" and "Back to 78" of Gruppo Sportivo. This album is essentially a companion piece, giving an overview of the rest of their recordings, including singles, B sides and other miscellaneous tracks. Interestingly, the music is presented in reverse chronological order (tracks 1 dates from 2000, track 24 from 1976). Of the 24 tracks, only 5 overlap with the "Back to 19 Mistakes" compliation.

"I Don't Think So"/"Click Here" is their double A-sided "reunion" single of Summer 2000, continiung their well-established style of short pop songs with funny/sarcastic lyrics to match. 1988's "Mexican Radio" was Gruppo's last commericial success before the reunion. The album is a true smorgasbord of tracks, with the good and the not-so-good. "Buddy Oder is a Gas", issued in 1980 under the "Buddy Odor Stop" bandname remains a funny little tune. Most intersting are the last 2 tracks, which were their initial singles before hitting it big with "Beep Beep Love".
