"Being that I have all eleven of Grant's solo cds I can attest to the quality of this compilation. I do not usually support compilations as they tend to be money making schemes by the record companies. However, considering the fact that most of Grant's catalog is nearly impossible to find since it's out of print (particularly in the United States), I'm actually recommending this compilation. It has his hits and good album tracks all digitally remastered. For those who never checked into Grant's music, you will be rewarded here. Those of us who have been long time Grant fans will not really need this compilation except to have the songs digitally remastered (and they needed it!)"
EDDY GRANT's a real genius!

"This guy's amazing. I've got all of his albums. Even my children love his music; the songs are incredibly contagious, and he writes the most powerful lyrics! He's touched on countless controversial topics ("Youth Tom Tom, War Party, Living On The Frontline etc."), unlike most of today's artistes who illustrate the morally destructive 'sex sells' campaign. Eventually, one tires of this...but EDDY GRANT's material is both refreshing and revolutionary. Music to change the world.GRANT's albums each has something unique; something that everyone of us can identify with. Most of today's artistes are expendible; they make disposable music, and all sing about the same thing. EDDY GRANT's albums to me are a rare reminder that there are artistes who have something powerful to say.A MUST HAVE! If you have 5 classic albums in your home LET "EDDY GRANT- GREATEST HITS COLLECTION" BE ONE!"
A standing Ovation for job well done!

"I've seen the Eddy Grant collections that are available and THIS is the one you want, plain and simple. Like many people I first knew of Eddy from his success with The Equals ("Baby Come Back"). And because I own a TV, I'm very familiar with the MTV hits "Electric Avenue" and "Boys In The Street." But "Living On The Front Line"...Eddy's Bob Marley trance reggae moment of sheer and utter brilliance...is the song that resonates over and over and over for me. I'm not even going to attempt to express how good this song is in words. This song was Eddy's defining moment."
