Album Notes: The Pretty Things: Frank Holland (vocals, guitar); John Povey (vocals, keyboards); Wally Waller (vocals, bass); Phil May (vocals); Dick Taylor (guitar); Skip Alan (drums).
Album Reviews: Q (4/00, p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 - \"...the real bad boys of '60s British R&B: fights, drink, drugs...everything except hits. These 19 tracks open with '66's astounding 'Come See Me', all savage bass and snarling attitude and easily the equal of The Rolling Stones...\"
Advantages: amusing, uplifting, entising, good tunes, good vocals, clever lyrics Disadvantages: none
...When i first purchased this album i had only heared a couple of songs by the chain, pretty as much as the cd got in the player i was hooked. When i got the album i thought the title 'greatesthits' was just one of the silly things the band did to be amusing but later learned that they had well over 5 hrs worth of unreleased tunes, so it was infact their greatesthits.
From the very start on the cd i was laughing uncontolably, numerous welsh rappers rapping about mothers with peni' and wanting to be a robot. If you are a person who can enjoy all types of music with a good tune and witty lyrics then this is surley one for you....

Not bad Review ofGreatestHits of The Policeby
jo1l
Advantages: a decent album Disadvantages: bit mediorce in places
...The Police's greatesthits is a good album - I actually bought this on cd as most of my Police albums are on vinyl its definetly an album for people that can remeber the hits from the first time around. It contains tracks from all the police albums including the hits Roxanne, Can't stand losing you, Message in a bottle, walking on the moon and Every little thing she does is magic..... It also contains tracks that I wouldnt say were actually greatestshits for the Police eg synchronicity 2 and Tea in the sahara I feel that some tracks were added for a bit of padding! On the whole it is a good album but it isnt any thing special. Worth a listein but see if a mate has got it first before buying it...

14. Down 3:14
15. Always 4:12
16. Not Now 4:25

Every Single song Deserves a day of the year dedicated to it! You will not be disappointed!
The music by blink 182 is very origonal, amazing and breath-taking, but the CD isnt, as obviously; its thier greatesthits, so...
