CD ReviewsSpellbound, spellbound KSG | New York, NY United States | 08/16/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "What a find! Up until now, the only copy I had was a hissing cassette tape. Spellbound is such a brilliant song and her version of The Velvet Underground's Pale Blue Eyes is fantastic. My absolute favorite cut is her energetic version New Rose. Foul Play is also very cool. The variety of styles on this work makes it a delight. Her phrasing is unique and she can really belt a tune as well as purr. Rachel Sweet is a treasure. It may not be for everyone as the arrangements are not what today's pop music sounds like, but if you like Pat Benatar and Patsy Cline you might want to give this a try." Important Selection Missing Yarby | 12/15/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Often dismissed, Rachel Sweet's career produced many excellent songs that deserve better recognition. Perhaps the best, missing from this collection, is "Truck Stop Queen:" one of the most quirky, interesting tracks to come out of the '70's. It belongs to a list of great, unheard songs that, due to ill-promotion (managerial and recording company ineptitude, really), the public has little or no opportunity to enjoy." Solid Gold Rachel!! Bruce P. Benzel | Tempe, AZ United States | 06/26/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This latest "Best Of" Rachel Sweet compilation is unique in that it contains a couple of seldom heard arrangements, such as the jazzier sound present on "Pin A Medal On Mary."For anyone who is a fan of Rachel and her incomparable talent, this CD is a definite "must have."I strongly suggest you pick up a copy!"
