Format:Audio CD
An absolute must for any Nolans' fan, this greatest hits collection features the original recordings of the girls' finest moments from their years with Epic Records. As such, this album is infinitely preferable to the rather cheap-sounding re-recordings on other labels which have been released more recently, and which, generally, are not as good as I expected. All eight of the girls' UK Top 40 hits are here, including the well-crafted pop of 'Attention To Me' and 'Gotta Pull Myself Together' and (of course!) their infectious signature tune, 'I'm In The Mood For Dancing'. Other highlights are the uptempo 'Sexy Music' and the romantic ballads 'God Knows', 'Spirit Body & Soul' and their cover of Diana Ross' 'Touch Me In The Morning', proof it it were ever needed that the Nolans excelled at harmonies. All in all, an excellent album...my only criticism (and it's a minor one)are the omissions; a shame that 'Get Ready', 'Out Of Love With Love' and 'Don't Stoke The Fire' were not included but maybe Epic will see fit to release a further compilation in the future! Enjoy!

There are so many Nolans compilations around, and most of them are re-recordings of their classics, and many have very poor production, that it was a relief when Sony released this one...this is probably as near to an Official Best Of that you'll get. All the tracks are the original recordings, and the booklet contains a great 'history' of the band, and great pictures. As well as all their hits, there is much more, including a lot of tracks from 'Portrait' which have never been released on CD before.
A must for any collection..!

A must for all us POPHEDZ.
The Nolans were the second best exponents of British family music. (The best were THE DOOLEYS, but they bo not have a cd to review, so I'll have to do The Nolans instead --- come on sony, get that one sorted).
This cd is crammed with brilliant pop tracks from the pens of Findon, Myers, Puzey, Ulvaeus, Anderson, Blue, Smith, Graham, Gold and Deane. These guys (esp Findon) were behind some of the greatest pop hits of the late 70s / early 80s.
This cd focusses on the Blackpool / Irish sisters in their chart heyday. Sadly when their line-up was rocked by regular change, with sisters leaving, joining, re-joining etc. (It seemed that whenever a sister left the group, there was always another waiting in the wings to take her place :-) )
All the hits are here, from SPIRIT BODY AND SOUL, the ageless classic, I'm in the mood for dancing (1979), through to the latter hits DRAGONFLY and CRASHING DOWN, (when the hits did crash down in 1982).
The girls had been on the scene for quite a few years before these hits and are all working in entertainment all these years later, but you know that they will never be forgotten, because every saturday DJs will be playing I'm in the mood for dancing to hords of girls dancing round their handbags, under the plastic palm trees in discos up and down the length and breadth of Britain.
The Nolans were a superb act, go out and buy this definative "hit era" disc.

Amazing.
The Nolans kicked it way before the Spice Girls & Girls Aloud.
They deserve to be way further up the music ladder than they are, in fact this is pretty much... Read more
