Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

East 17 were the Rolling Stones to Take That's Beatles; and while subsequent tabloid controversies and 1998's ill-advised Tony Mortimer-less comeback have since rendered them something of a joke, this greatest hits collection is a reminder of how good they used to be. It contains eleven top ten hits--from 92's "House of Love" to 97's "Hey Child"--and a perhaps surprisingly large number of real classics: "It's Alright"; "Steam"; "Deep"; the Gabrielle-featuring "If You Ever" (which doesn't appear on any of their albums) and the 1994 Christmas Number One "Stay Another Day", in both original and pointless remix versions. With Tony Mortimer seeming to have turned his back on the music industry and the remaining trio being dropped by Telstar, the East 17 story may have come to an end, but this album is a fitting legacy: silly, cool and beautiful by turns. --Ronita Dutta

3.0 out of 5 stars The journey so far...., 11 May 2003
If you were a fan of East Seventeen when they were at their peak, this collection will bring back a lot of memories – for me it was “Steam” that did it. Although in the year 2003 some tracks do sound very dated (for example “House of Love”),they’re still pop classics and there are some that will never age, like the beautiful “Stay Another Day”. Not to be overlooked is the fantastic duet with Gabrielle “If you ever” and the sweet and simple “Someone to love”. Personally, my purchase of this album was for nostalgic reasons only, but there are still some fairly good pop tracks on here, obviously with a very 90s vibe but absolutely nothing wrong with that. If it’s your kind of music then it’s a good CD to own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings back a lot of memories, 9 May 2000
By A Customer
This album includes so many hits from the early 90's, its surprising. All their original songs are either fast, enjoyable, up-tempo tunes, or moving slow melodies. Even their cover of the Pet Shop Boys - west end girls is spot on, but not an exact copy. A classic way to say goodbye to a great band.

3.0 out of 5 stars East 17-Around the World, 28 Dec 2003
By N. Wilson "nigel-wilson" (Bristol, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This album is ok.
I bought it after watching a programme on the band and wasn't that disapointed. I love some of the tracks- Thunder, Stay another day..etc. Some dragged on a bit and were a little to boybandy for my liking, but all in all an ok album.
6/10 for East Seventeen

3.0 out of 5 stars Chav-tastic pop!
OK, East 17 defined what is was to be a chav well before we all even knew what a chav was, and it's fair to say this tainted the way I viewed their music. Read more
