Free Music Notes for Seals & Crofts - Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Enjoyable, but frustrating
Hit: 4 Stars
Seals and Crofts have, for no conceivable reason, missed out on the CD reissue program given to practically every other 70s artist, including a good many a damn sight less successful - artisically or commercially.Other than this bare-bones collection only "Summer Breeze" (A good album, but far from their best) is available on CD, so if you're looking to get some S&C this is about your only choice (Although you should get SB as well, if only for "The Euphrates", one of their best songs ever).
What's here is, for the most part highly enjoyable - never liked "I'll Play For You" much (Although it comes from one of their best albums), but "Diamond Girl", "Hummingbird", "King Of Nothing" and "We May Never Pass This Way (Again)" are all flawless pop gems. The musicanship (including several future TOTO members) is outstanding, and the harmonies are fantastic. The lyrics are also noteworthy, containing a strong spiritual element that never becomes preachy, but instead adds an extra layer to the material.
This is recommended listening, but, if you have the patience, wait until somebody FINALLY releases a comprehensive collection -not to mention the rest of their albums.
Free Music Review: Good, but incomplete
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD is simply a re-issue of their mid-70s Greatest Hits album. It only has 10 songs, like the original vinyl album had, and does not include their later hits like Closer To You. It is a shame that very little of this duo's work is available on CD. It is long past time for Rhino to come to the rescue and issue a Seals & Crofts Complete Greatest Hits CD with 20+ songs on it. Their music warrants it and their fans deserve it!!!!Free Music Review: C'mon... how can you NOT like Seals and Crofts???
Hit: 4 Stars
I've had this CD for quite some time and it's always an enjoyable listen. Like many who have already reviewed this CD, I also would've loved to have seen it expanded to include "Get Closer", "You're The Love", "My Fair Share" and "Unborn Child" (as opposed to simply a straight reissue of the 1975 original LP), but until WB issues a "Seals and Crofts" edition of their "Essentials" series (which hopefully won't be too far off in the future; hint, hint, WB!!!) I'm content with this collection.Free Music Review: Great - but we ALL know there is so much MORE!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I can only say, "AMEN and AMEN" to the many others who love thisalbum...but KNOW that there is so much more by this duo that we
need on CD. I have some classic movies from the 70's: (ONE ON ONE with Robby Benson /Annette O'toole and FOOLING AROUND with Annette O'toole /Gary Bussey). If you have or remember these movies, you know there are some GREAT tunes by Seals and Crofts on these soundtracks. I really love the easy, laid-back country-tinged theme to "FOOLIN 'AROUND". These movies were not huge hits...but these hidden "GEMS" by Seals and Crofts needs to be put on CD!....
ARE YOU LISTENING Warner Brothers???!!!
