Search - Hot Chocolate :: Very Best of Hot Chocolate

Classic seventies soul

"It has been a long long time since I had the chance to listen to anything by Hot Chocolate, since my vinyl is all stored away in a closet. I forgot how much I missed these guys. H.C. was everywhere on the radio in the seventies, with good reason. Happily, this collection has most of their best work. The poignant "Emma", even leaving the 'message' aside shows their vocal abilities; deep and lush. But these fellas surely could burn down the house, and did so: "Every One's a Winner" is a classic, as is the now over-used "You Sexy Thing". They jam through "Don't Stop it Now", and "Could've Been a Lady" and even "Disco Queen". One of my personal favorites is "So You Win Again" for every one of us lucky guys who has been crushed by some gal (not to be confused with the similarly titled and messaged Hank Williams classic).Good stuff."

Where's 'Confetti Day'?

"As everyone else has said this is an excellent album of music from a great band. But there's something missing.



I have this album on vinyl. There is a (quite good) song on the vinyl called "Confetti Day" which is conspicuous by its absence on this CD. I wonder what happened to it. Why would they drop this song from the CD?



Otherwise an excellent album. If you like this kind of music, then there is much to like here.
