5.0 out of 5 stars Somerville Still Smashing!, 12 April 2005

By	A. Lamb "media_boy_alex" (Streatham, South London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this album on Marketplace because it was going cheap and I loved Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat... little did I know that it was one of the best albums I've ever had.

Jam packed with dance floor anthems and political chansons, Jimmy's single collection is a must have. Reading the back of the box and the song list, I must admit that many of the titles weren't immediately familiar but after one session with the CD I realised that I knew every tune. Each one of them is fantastic, whether it be the uplifing YOU ARE MY WORLD, the thought provoking AIN'T NECESSARILY SO or camp classic COMMENT TE DIRE A'DIEU. This album won't disappoint.

I just want to know where Jimmy is now and why he's not still charting - he could just re-release some of the singles on this CD and whop the asses off most chart bands now. My advice is BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant selection of Bronski Beat, Communards & Somerville, 7 Sep 2000

By	Y. Child "naughtyeve" (Liverpool) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Singles Collection 1984/1990 (Audio CD)

Really enjoyable, well produced cd, featuring Marc Almond duetting with Jimmy in "I Feel Love" and the amazing combination of Jimmy & Sara Jane Morris in "Don't Leave Me This Way". Also June Miles Kingston in "Comment Te Dire Adieu". Brings back the wonderful, happy, fun-feeling of the 80's, was it really that long ago? Added bonus - the lyrics are all in the sleeve, so there is no excuse, we can all dance and sing along, warn the neighbours, it will be loud, if only I could reach those notes! Long live the 80's.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Singles Collection, 3 Mar 2005

By	Rich Milligan (Thatcham, Berkshire) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

There's no doubting the impact that Jimmy Somerville and his various bands had on the sounds and perhaps even the attitudes of the 80's.

In his un-imitative voice the pint-sized Scottish singer charmed and wowed the music buying public from the moment he burst onto the scene with Bronski Beat. He was later to form the Communards then went onto a solo career before slipping from mainstream public view although he is still making records.

This album features 17 of Jimmy's hits from all stages of his vocation and is an excellent reminder of the sounds and feelings of those times and the album is a great way to take a trip down memory lane.

NOTE: There is also another Jimmy Somerville greatest hits package available, called "The Very best of Jimmy Somerville" and contains exactly the same playlist as this album apart from one song, where "Run from Love" is replaced by "Hurt so Good".
