5.0 out of 5 stars 70's Treasure, 18 May 2006
By G. V. Best "gvb" (birmingham, west mids United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
i have been looking for a darts cd for years.
there have been similar import copies offered on ebay for £60 plus.
this brings back pleasing memories of the late 70's.
i was much happier then and the darts were fantastic.
they have been criminally ignored their songs never appear on the multiple compilation albums from the era.
do yourself a favour and buy this cd!

5.0 out of 5 stars At Last, 8 Feb 2006
By R. Trotman "neorich" (Southampton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm so chuffed to find this product.

You can get a number of Darts tracks from various online download sites, but I've been looking for one in particular, "Young Blood", for decades.

I bought the first two Darts albums on Vinyl and have been waiting, ever since for them to appear on CD.

This is the next best thing.

I couldn't believe my luck when this one turned out to have "Young Blood" on it.

The Darts played a significant part in my musical upbringing, appearing as they did, a talented bunch of musicians laying down souped up Rock And Roll and Rhythm And Blues in the middle of the "Punk" era..

For me, "Young Blood", with it's unusual chord turns and tight vocal performance stands out.

But there are some other great tracks on here and "Get It" has really grown on me!

I'd hoped for "Late For Work" to appear, but there you go.

For £3.99 and a real blast from the past, I'm not complaining.

Rich.

4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back "Darts" !, 25 Jan 2006
By A. J. Rogers "Andy Rogers" (SOLIHULL, WEST MIDLANDS United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
And about time too... Just when you think that Darts were destined to become a dim memory from the end of the '70s along comes this (almost) best of compilation. Clocking in at 58 minutes you get 19 tracks of fabulous Doowop /rock'n'roll . Daddy Cool, Boy from New York City , It's Raining and all the other hits are here with a few album choice album tracks ( and one or two not so choice selections , but there you go ). At £3.33 Amazon price this must be one of the bargains of the year and hopefully if it sells well enough Warners may even be persuaded to put out a 2nd volume with the missing tracks on!

Quite agree that this CD could have seen a more definitive selection. Why not the LP version's of Come Back My Love & It's Raining as bonus tracks. Why Cool Jerk?
