Tighten Up Vol. 1 (Remixes).......2006-12-21

I like "Hangin on a String" as it's the original version. The rest of the disc I rate as "passable." Three stars...

Maybe I was expecting too much..........2006-02-21

This CD is just OK. Maybe I was expecting too much. The 'Slow Down' remix is cool. Nothing else really jumps out at you. It's like if this was playing in the background while you were shopping, you might not notice.

The way R&B music should be.......2001-12-05

Despite my being of African descent, I have always had a huge problem with American R&B I find that too much of it just sounds the same, and really is boring. I just can't get down to it. I find British R&B much more enjoyable, and Loose Ends is one of the best groups of the genre. Jane Eugene was a real chanteuse and makes todays so called R&B "Divas" sound like yowling cats.

This is a remix of their hits and it is really well done and I find that I love to listen to it over and over, without getting bored. My favorite tracks are: Don't Be A Fool,OOH You Make Me Feel (a remix), Choose Me (a remix),Slow Down (a remix), Hangin On a String (orignal Remix).

This is a great CD, If only todays R&B artists would take a page from Loose Ends then I would have much more apprectiation for the genre.

Platinum re-worked.......2001-02-22

This Album is very interesting.For the die hard fans it has a few tracks but it re-works some tracks to bring new dimensions to some of the older tracks. Look out for Choose me and Gonna make you mine, they are real gems and guru's appearance on A little spice. "Give me a sunset evening in Central London, a convertible car, some open road and "A little spice"

Get this and quick. Probably the best introduction for the not so soul hearted.

Carl,Steve,Jane - London Loves you

The Magic Touch.......2000-06-21

U.K.'s finest, Loose Ends, is offered through this well compiled remix collection. This is fitting for those who are truly fans of an innovative act that help put British Soul of the 80s in a frenzy.

Good Stuff..........2003-01-31

This is the good stuff. Even my grandma would be shakin' to this first wave skankin' reggae. For the Brits out there, it's worth the price for "Soul Limbo" alone, which you will fondly recognise as the raw and vibed-up original of the BBC's cricket music. Absolutely inspirational! If you've come so far as to read this, don't hesitate to buy. This music willl make you happy.

Cure to lost youth.......1999-11-08

This magnificent album encapsulates all the vibrance, vitality and beauty of 70's reggae. I can still see myself and my friends dancing wildly to these gems in our teens and would recommend that it be played loud in a dimly lit room with no furniture. A definite musthave.

A classic of basic Reggae.......1999-09-14

Like being in a time warp. Fundamental Reggae at its best. The lack of quality of the recording has thankfully not been digitally remastered on the CD. Thank you Trojan for that. An essential for collectors and enthusiasts of Reggae or those who'd like the party livening up.
