5.0 out of 5 stars A great double CD compilation, 18 May 2008
By VMR (Coatbridge) - See all my reviews
I had only heard a few tracks by Altered Images before buying this CD. Happy Birthday/I could be happy is on several various artists compilations I have but the other 34 tracks were largely a mystery to me. So I wondered whether this might be a 2CD set that I would only listen to CD1. That's not the case with this compilation. There are classics like Dead Pop Stars/Love and Kisses/Idols/Insects surrounded by other greats Sentimental/Faithless/Another lost look are just a small sample of what's on offer here. You might think as I did that most of the songs would be light, childish carefree songs but there are some serious tracks Leave me alone/Don't talk to me about love. The songs are original, beautifully arranged and sung by Clare. After listening to this it compares favourably to marathon listening sessions like Sandinista! or Stadium Arcadium. So you get 2 double albums of music enclosed in an elegant cover. A true bargain at current prices. I couldn't be more happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of a fantastic band, 9 Mar 2009
By A. Jones (Bangor, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you loved Altered Images and Claire Grogan then you will love this album. In fact even if you didn't, you'll still love this album. Claire Grogan has a unique and infectious voice and Altered Images as a band of musicians created a unique sound in their day. The atrwork is great, the songs even better, and it all adds up to a wonderful trip down memory lane.

Definitely one to buy. Delivery is always very fast from AMazon, and the packaging is even better. Highly recommended.

And I still love Claire...

4.0 out of 5 stars Bargain pack of post-punk pop gems, 17 Feb 2008
Not the 'best of', you actually get pretty much the band's whole recorded output here. The Happy Birthday album has rather suffered over time and its Banshees-like sound didn't much impress me, despite some very good moments. More of a revelation is the follow up 'Pinky Blue', where the band achieved the new wave pop sound the classic Happy Birthday single had suggested. It still sounds bright and spirited and is full of strong tracks. The final album Bite is widely disliked and it's easy to see why. Personally I don't like the arrangements or Grogan's 'grown up' vocal manner, but there are strong tunes and in hindsight it's surprising it didn't find a bigger audience. I guess it is an interesting bonus when you are buying two minor post-punk pop classics (and some extras) for such a good price. Pity about the feeble booklet, it doesn't do their achievement justice.
