WARNING...NOT the real thing!
28 Aug 1999
Format:Audio CD
Although the selections (titles) are great, the description of the CD is a little misleading. What IS NOT pointed out is that these aren't the original recordings. A small note at the bottom of the CD (after you buy it) say's "All selections are performed by The Obscure except "Miami" is performed by Slick." I bought the CD for the BareNaked Ladies' "One Week" and much to my dismay, I just got a spoof. The previous review may not have read closely. I would ONLY give it 4 stars if I were an Obscure fan. ...Never heard of them until I bought this CD. Absolutely a must NOT have.

Beware: the CDs are full of remakes
31 Aug 1999
Format:Audio CD
I bought this CD thinking that it was compilation of of pretty good songs from a whole bunch of different artists. Little did I know that they are all remakes by The Obscure. They sound sort of similar to the original, but if I had known this was full of remakes, I wouldn't have bought it.

The real hits of Summer '99 on one album.
26 Sep 1999
Format:Audio CD
Another excellent UK compilation, this one contains a number of hits that also made the US charts this summer. Including:
Livin La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin
If You Had My Love - Jennifer Lopez
Mambo No 5 - Lou Bega
Canned Heat - Jamiroquai
I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys
Bills Bills Bills - Destiny's Child
You Get What You Give - New Radicals
Pink - Aerosmith
Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer
Red Alert - Basement Jaxx
Almost Doesn't Count - Brandy
There's Your Trouble - Dixie Chicks
In all 42 tracks, all full length originals, not covered by the Obscure, like the similar named K-Tel compilation. Most of the others tracks were big UK hits that will never make it in the States.
But if you're even interested in just three of the tracks, you're better off getting this album than buying the two original CD's you'll find them on.
