"I am a relatively recent convert to Swing Out Sister. To me, the real test of a group is the ability to sing and perform live since it isn't in a studio to have all the equipment "pretty up" the sound and vocals. I was VERY impressed with Corinne's vocals and Andrew's keyboard skills as well the background singers and musicians. SOS is a "Breakout" group and it's a shame they are not as popular here in the US as they are overseas. On the news section of their website, it says they are planning a tour this spring, unfortunately, all the venues are overseas, including the Jazz Cafe (April 3,4, & 5th, 2005 per the Jazz Cafe website), where this album was recorded 12 years ago. Hopefully, they'll throw some US dates in there."
GREAT !!!

"Doesn't matter wheather you're an SOS fan or not: if you have to save few albums and take them with you in the "desert island", this is one.
It's a groovy mixture of jazz, funky and pop. All songs are deeply rearranged compared to the studio version and it's a surprise (expecially if you already know the original versions) to listen to the new arrangement of "Twilight World" or "Am I the Same Girl" (to name a couple); the sound is rich, with each instrument playing at its best: guitar, bass, drums and percussions, keyboards, great arrangements of the brass section and, of course, the beautiful Corinne's voice.
There's a lot of fantasy and good taste in the whole thing.
My favourite song at the moment is "Who let the love out"."
Long live SOS---

"Wow! what a great CD. All the great tracks from their early years are here and the sound quality is top notch. They have such a cool style with the jazz beats mixed in with Corrine's incredible voice. I would love to see them live someday as this group is so over looked in the states. Easy listening even if you have never heard of Swing Out Sis.
B-R-E-A-K-O-U-T and buy this disc!!!!!"
