CD Reviews

The Best of the Best - Buy This Now!

Darren Stuart | Howey-in-the-Hills, FL United States | 08/03/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I am not one who is given to hyperbole, but this is truly the best multi-disc career retrospective that I have encountered. The late, great Kirsty MacColl is truly the most underrated singer/songwriter ever. And Virgin has done right by her in a generous, comprehensive collection full of previously unheard or long out of print tracks. I am particularly pleased in the generous helping of songs from my favorite album of Kirsty's, 1989's "Kite," but each period of her well-documented career is represented well here. But in many cases the previously unreleased tracks are as good as the well-known (to her fans, anyway) tracks - what a treat to have "Still Life," "London Bridge is Falling Down," "Manhattan Moon" and the wonderful cover of Grace Jones' "Libertango (I've Seen That Face Before)". Marvelous. Buy this now and begin to be cast under the spell of Kirsty's wit, multi-layered vocals and breathtaking songcraft."

Miss her...

"Great talent...then and now. Never understood whe "He's on the Beach" wasn't a smash hit...one of my alltime favorites...perhaps just ahead of her time. This compilation will satisfy anyone who enjoys fresh music, as it is pretty certain you haven't heard most of this on the radio (if you have, please let me know where you live)...Buy it and enjoy."
