Format:Audio CD
This truly is the most authoritative collection by the sisters so far. It covers all the major hits and tracks from all eight of their studio albums from 1975 - 1985. Many people think they burst on to the scene in 1979 with the huge selling album We are Family but that was there third album after Circle of love and Together, shortly to be reissued along with other non essential albums. Also included is their first British hit the Jackson 5 sounding Mama never told me which reached no20 in 1975 and which apparently does not appear on any album. If you love the music this is for you, if your a hardened fan by (Sept 2007) you could collect all eight albums.

Decent Collection
10 July 2007
Format:Audio CD
This is a decent collection of Sister Sledge's work but Rhino/Atlantic why not put together a "real" definitive collection or an anthology on these ladies and include the hard to find singles? They are more than deserving of it.
Most people think Sister Sledge fell to earth with 1979's We are Family, but this is not the case. They'd been around since 1971 and made a handful of great records that were never promoted before and after "Family"...anyway I digress. Again... Rhino give us an Anthology worthy of these ladies... Below is Sister Sledges(mostly) Atlantic discography:
1971 - Time Will Tell (single) - Money Back Records
1972 - Weatherman (single) - ATCO Records
1973 - Mama Never Told Me (single) - ATCO Records
1975 - Circle of Love - ATCO Records
1976 - Thank You For Today/Have Love, Will Travel (single) - Cotillion Records
1977 - Together - Cotillion Records
1978 - I've Seen Better Days (single) - Cotillion Records
1979 - We Are Family - Cotillion Records
1980 - Love Somebody Today - Cotillion Records
1981 - All American Girls - Cotillion Records
1982 - The Sisters - Cotillion Records
1983 - Betcha Say That To All The Girls - Cotillion Records
1985 - When The Boys Meet The Girls - Atlantic Records

Lives Up To Its Title
11 Sep 2006
Format:Audio CD
THE DEFINITIVE GROOVE COLLECTION may be a little too much Sister Sledge for casual fans, but for deep soul/disco lovers, this collection is a must. Besides the expected hits, this anthology includes such popular album cuts as "Betcha Say That To All The Girls" (featuring a humorous rap by jazz singer Al Jarreau), "Super Bad Sisters" (one of the earliest rap/sung collaborations), and the creamy Phiily disco/soul of "Pain Reliever". It also includes three non-album singles (The Top 20 UK hit "Mama Never Told Me", the ballad "Thank You For Today" and the peppy "Cream Of The Crop", which crawled to #100 on the Billboard r&b charts in 1976). The usual quality Rhino liner notes are here as well as clean remastered sound. According to the liner notes, Sister Sledge gets a mechanical royalty whenever "We Are Family" is played although they didn't write the song.

Definitive collection
4 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
Perhaps this is a bit too much for the casual Sister Sledge fan, but if you want a collection that covers all eras of their career, this is the one to buy. This compilation features all the well-known hits such as "We Are Family", "He's The Greatest Dancer" and "Lost in Music", in addition to favorites such as "All American Girls" and what is perhaps their best song in my opinion, "Thinking of You".
Sister Sledge sang the original version of "All the Man That I Need" that went on to be a big hit for Whitney Houston, and they had a minor hit with their version of "My Guy". They also had a big UK hit in 1985 with "Frankie", which is admittedly awful. All these tracks and more are included here.
