Best of the Stylistics

Amazon.com
This is an early collection that gathers the group's hits up to 1975. While they continued to make the charts (albeit sporadically) for another decade, the Stylistics' golden years had drawn to a close by the time this record hit the stands, so almost all of their key tracks are here. Best of the Stylistics Vol. 2 and All-Time Classics cover different bases, while Greatest Love Hits is a theme compilation with some overlap. Yet another compilation, Very Best of the Stylistics, largely has the same material as the Best of... package. For an exhaustive selection of the group's best work, you'll have to go to the original albums. Top picks: The Stylistics, Round 2, and Let's Put It All Together. --Gavin McNett

The Best of the Sylistics.......2007-07-20

Its what I expected. What can I say? Its a CD with the songs on it that were listed and sung by the Stylistics.

A collection in desperate need of an extreme makeover!.......2007-06-07

It was first released on vinyl on the old Avco label way back in 1975. "The Best of the Stylistics" offers up 10 of the biggest and best hit recordings from this important 1970's soul group. Yes, you will find all of the groups Top Ten hits including "Betcha By Golly, Wow", "You Are Everything" and the groups biggest smash of all "You Make Me Feel Brand New" from the spring of 1974. Add to that great hits like "Break Up To Make Up", "I'm Stone In Love With You" and the snappy "Heavy Fallin' Out" and you certainly have the makings of a fine collection. Yet, there are obvious flaws with "The Best of the Stylistics" that really need to be addressed.
First and foremost, in this day and age a mere 10 tunes is woefully inadequate. Fans of the Stylistics will tell you that there are at least a half dozen important recordings missing from this collection. Any decent Stylistics collection would have to include songs like "You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)", "Star On A TV Show", "Thank You Baby" and one of my personal favorites "Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)" from 1975. In addition, this disc offers nothing in the way of liner notes which for a collector like myself is a huge drawback. In 2005, Amherst records released the 2 disc set "The Very Best of The Stylistics...and More" featuring a total of 38 songs. I would have to agree with another reviewer that this is a bit of overkill and is probably more music than I really want or need. And there still does exist a single CD "Best of the Stylistics Volume 2" but this is another disc I that simply can not get all that enthused about.
The bottom line is that it is high time that the record company released an updated 16 or 17 track single disc collection of this important 1970's group. I would hope that such an offering would include liner notes, chart information and some photos. In the meantime, "The Best of the Stylistics" is still probably your best bet. The vocal stylings of lead singer Russell Tompkins Jr. and the rest of the group have stood the test of time. The Stylistics are certainly a group that deserves better than this.

this really is the best of the Stylistics.......2007-05-09

I thought I only knew a couple of numbers by the Stylistics, but as I listened to the entire CD, I know them all and loved everyone of these songs. These guys are much better then I remember and deserve more air time and many more awards. This group now has risen to be in my top ten of all time favorite groups, and that is saying alot for someone now over 50 who grew up every night listening to Motown via KOMA from Oklahoma City.

Keep up the good work!!

A Great Compilation of Stylistics Hits.......2007-01-04

I added this album to my wish list after hearing some of the Stylistics tunes at my cousin's wedding, including "Stone In Love With You". The Stylistics are a classy group with both soul and also musical marketability and they composed beautiful, memorable hits that are really moving emotionally. This is a good way to introduce yourself to the Stylistics. It's also good music for weddings and other occasions where people dance.

Oldies But Goodies.......2007-05-28

If you are into "OLD" school then this group is at the top.

Excellent All Around.......2007-04-11

This was an excellent selection... my husband and I enjoy every song!!

Wow! Well worth the money.......2007-02-08

This two cd set is fantastic in choice of tracks and sound quality. It is all you'll ever want from one of the best harmony R & B groups of all times. Song for song you cannot beat this cd.

too expensive.......2006-08-02

I'm sorry to vent on the Stylistics, certainly others are guilty of this, but $33 to get all the Stylistics hits is WAY too expensive. Sorry, love the Stylistics, and the Spinners too (whose double CD anthology is around $30 too). Why is something like Lionel Richie and the Commodores 2CD Gold $13.99? Oh well... I'll wait.

was hoping for..................2005-11-25

A little disapointed that songs from a good album back then.Lets put it all together had more than one song too pick from too be one this compilation.And also the (heavy)album had some too.But anything is better than nothing since there is virtually nothing on later reissues from this label on this artist.Which I still too this day don't understand.Their is people out here all over the world who would buy once they know they are available.The albums I mentioned and(you are beautiful).Three that would bring good money too this label.But it does have some not on previous hits albums.So pick it up you will be happy you did.And its good background music when company is over,or at work or in the car.Everyone of all ages and cultures know this music.Its music that will be around forever.Generation too generation.A Legacy,something unfortunately todays music cannot say.

Waste of talent.......2006-03-30

After having purchased the first greatest hits and loved it, I thought that I would buy Vol. 2. BIG MISTAKE. Vol. 1 had all of the Stylistics big hits which covered their first three albums, and also had differant producers than most of the songs on Vol. 2. I feel like I got duped into buying Vol. 2 because of one song, "You'll Never Get To Heaven" which coincidentally was off of one of their first three albums. The rest of the songs on Vol. 2 are musically soulless, lifeless, and heartless.

Stylistics have STYLE!.......2003-08-26

Truly a GREAT arrangement of a WONDERFUL group. Silky falsetto leads, tight harmonies and timeless renditions of tender love songs are the order of the day for this "Best Of" release!

For Hardcore Stylistics Fans Only..........2001-04-30

In 1975, The Stylistics had one of their hits songs, "Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)," become a #1 hit in the UK. While their chart fortunes in the US were about to take a temporary lull (most of these songs only made the lower reaches of the US R&B chart), things were just heating up across the pond. Several of the group's albums and singles were big hits over there, and one of their greatest hits compilations also made it to #1 on the British album chart. The one song included here from the group's Philly Soul days ("You'll Never Get To Heaven"), will be familiar to most American listeners, and "Sing, Baby, Sing" is a favorite of fans of Carolina Beach music. The other tracks are examples of the kind of disco/pop releases, that made The Stylistics a major force on the NME charts in Britain. Ironically, the hit that started it all for the group in that country, "Can't Give You Anything," was NOT included on this album! If you want that song, it's available on "Greatest Love Hits." I recommend this album only to hardcore, dyed-in-the-wool Stylistics fans. It contains the most slickly-produced of their chart hits, if not the most soulful.
