The Very Best of the Spinners

Amazon.com
Although their first album appeared in the early '60s, it was with 1975's "They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)" that the Spinners really got moving. They emerged as one of the poppiest of the '70s soul bands, which cost them dearly in credibility. But their best songs were stunning--and by the time original vocalist Philippe Wynne left the group, in 1977, they'd racked up enough successes to stuff a greatest-hits package from top to bottom. Atlantic's 1978 "Best of the Spinners" LP was that package, although this release augments it with later hits like "Working My Way Back to You" and "Cupid." Another anthology package, a double-CD released by Atlantic Records, packs in even more, but the essentials are all here. --Gavin McNett

Great collection of one of the best soul groups ever!.......2007-05-27

This is by far the best and cheapest 1 disc collection of The Spinners incredible Discography that I have ever seen, and the inside booklet also includes a nice little narraration of the group themselves.
Where to start with The Spinners themselves? They are incredible, and thru-out quite a few personnel changes they still kept there essance.
If you purchase this, expect to hear a talented gifted lead singer, with a crew of equally talented singers backing him up. Expect Dense instrumentation, much more dense, and plush than most of the Music of this genre at the time. Production wise it pulls influence from both Soul, and Disco, which is an interesting combo, because I hate disco but like Soul, and I LOVE this.
Lyrically they are solid too. The songwriters for The Spinners were in the background, but should not be treated second rate. They had skill... Expect most of the songs to be love songs, but there is other topics. I enjoy the interesting Social Commentary on Poverty and the effect it can have on a childs self esteem on "Ghetto Child".

Simply put, this is a must have for a true Music Collector, or lover. Cop this.

STANDOUT TRACKS:
Quite honestly, sense this is a greatest hits of a great group, I can't choose... Every track is a beuitiful peice of art.

Great if You Only Want One Disc of The Spinners Music.......2007-03-30

I ordered this for my mom. She loves the whole disc thus 5 stars. This is for those who only want one disc of The Spinners very best songs. For these wanting more, get "Definitive Soul", their 2-disc greatest hits which came out (also from Rhino) last year.

Excellent compilation of a great vocal Soul group! .......2007-03-06

Hey, if you never tried to consider Soul music as REAL GOOD MUSIC, give a try to this Spinners' compilation. These guys will make you fall in love with real, good Soul music. Be sure of it!

The Very Best of the Spinners.......2007-01-15

These are great tunes done in the particular "Philly" style that we loved then and still do - amazing really how timely they still are - but, maybe I'm just "stuck" in my younger years - still fun. Plus, the Spinners didn't have too much else (to my knowledge) but this is the best.

The Best of the Spinners- The Best of Motown!!.......2007-01-03

Anyone who loves Motown music MUST have this in their collection!! It really does feature the very best of the Spinners, without a doubt one of the finest groups to come out of Motown. Their harmonies never disappoint and every song makes you want to dance. Buy it today!!!
