Shaky's latest hits offering comes our way in this fantastic double disc set. Originally to be released with a naff sleeve, nothing remastered and a tired title of 'Oh Julie', this compilation was saved by the involvement of Shaky himself. And what a blessing it was! We got a dignified release complete with classy artwork, ALL tracks remastered (from the DVD release The Collection) and placed in order of release. The only UK Epic singles not on this compilation are Endless Sleep, Treat Her Right, Spooky, Hey Mae and Shooting Gallery (which the latter pair did chart but very low). The Christmas releases have been tagged on the end of Disc 2 in their own section. It's worth a note that the single 'True Love' featured on here is the extended version.
To compile this compilation in order of release gives it an interesting listening pleasure as we go through the years, in order, with Shaky as his career changed with production and style. There are hidden gems here not featured on the massive selling 'The Collection' such as 'Love Attack', 'I Might', 'My Cutie Cutie', 'How Many Tears Can You Hide' and 'The Best Christmas Of Them All'. Their are a few lesser choices such as 'Pink Champagne' and 'True Love'.
However, this does remain an absolutley 'must have' for any Shaky completest. The price is a snip too. For any casual Shaky tourist I would recommend 'The Collection' for the cream of the crop.
This album is thorough and features pretty much everything Shaky did (including Hot Dog) with the Christmas hits thrown in too.
Everything that is expected is here (This 'Ole House, You Drive Me Crazy, Oh Julie, Marie Marie, What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?' . . .) but was also pleasantly surprised to find minor hits Pink Champagne, My Cutie Cutie, I Might, Turning Away and Love Attack on the tracklist too as they are barely given the time of day on any other Shaky album.
A very worthy and inexpensive purchase if you are a casual or completist fan of Shakin' Stevens.
Mainly the late 80's and early 90's hits but early country rock sides like Hot Dog thrown in as well. Lipstick, Powder and Paint & I Might will have you turning up the volume and bopping in no time! True Love and Because I Love You are great tender ballads if you prefer to sit back and relax.
another greatest hits but with all 5 xmas songs brilliant wa should have more shakin stevens albums out
