The Partridge Family - Greatest Hits

Amazon.com
It was a short run but a sweet one--for those, anyway, who could hear the real craft that went into David Cassidy's ghost vocals for his Keith Partridge character. Post-Monkees studio pop whose occasional lite-blue mood you can take (or leave) just as seriously as you want to, this singles collection has its moments of real genius: not just "I Think I Love You" but also the mini-Spector "I Woke Up in Love This Morning," which recapitulates the theme. --Rickey Wright

Just like you remember.......2007-06-11

Writing this from the perspective of someone who has gone to great lengths to acquire decent David Cassidy music for his fiancee, I can tell you that this CD is probably one of the best ones I have found. It blends classic Partridge Family hits with modern David Cassidy, and every song sounds wonderful. There was enough of the old stuff to keep even me interested, and the "new" music was actually quite good. David has a fantastic singing voice which is often overlooked because of the bubble-gum pop that he did in the 70's...but after seeing him live in April (took my fiancee for her birthday), I can honestly tell you that he's still got it! And so does this CD...you won't be disappointed.

Great Collection.......2007-04-12

This cd is an excellent mix of David Cassidy songs with Partridge Family highlights interspersed. It is a very interesting concept to set it up this way.

Anyone can argue over what has been omitted or included for we all have our Partridge favorites. The important thing is it is an excellent overview of those very happy years and as another reviewer said - is remastered for the best sound quality yet with any of these collections.

It is an awesome listen and stays in my cd carousel all the time. A definite must for fans.

Good, But Could Be Better..........2007-02-09

No doubt about it, the sound quality on this DC/PF cd is the best out there! And while the song selection is decent, it could be so much better!

Obviously, David had a hand...maybe the sole hand...in this song selection. Although he hates Doesn't Somebody Want to be Wanted, that is no excuse for leaving it off a greatest hits collection, since it was one of the highest charting PF singles. (Apparently he hates the song because he hates talking (not singing) during a song, a la Elvis' Are You Lonesome Tonight. But then why doesn't he object to his talking in Echo Valley 26809, which he includes in this set??) Also, if he was going to include songs after his Bell label days, why did he stop at I Write the Songs and Darlin' (which is a terribly truncated version) and not include, say, Lyin' to Myself? He should simply have gone solely with the 1970-1974 period. And You Are Always On My Mind instead of, say, Friend and a Lover, or Brown Eyes, or Point Me, or so many other great choices??!

Anyway, it still includes most of the best PF/DC songs, and for that, it is definitely worth a purchase!

Could It Be Forever: The Greatest Hits - David Cassidy.......2007-02-01

Absolutely brilliant album from start to finish. Wonderful to revisit music from my teenage years. exactly as I remembered him.

Plus & Minus + 5 stars.......2006-12-15

I know all those hard core PF and DC fans will be on this review, but the fact is...YES, another collection. I say keep them coming. Maybe someday they will include the unreleased PF songs as well as David's First Bell B-side to Cherish called All I Wanna Do Is Touch You and his last Bell B-side to If I Didn't Care called Frozen Noses. Neither have ever been released on LP or CD.

This collection gives an overall view of Cassidy & Partridge hits and most popular songs. Minus the hits & singles Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted, David's least favorite track, as well as Am I Losing You, Friend And A Lover, Looking For a Good Time, Daydream and Please Please Me. I Am A Clown is the edited version and If I Didn't Care is the unedited version. Could It Be Forever sounds slightly different, but not sure why.

The sound quality is the best I have heard so far from any Partridge Family or David Cassidy CD! It gives a fatter and fuller feel as the original LP's do. Summer Days, One Night Stand, You Are Always On My Mind and Ricky's Tune some of the added tracks not usually found on previous collections.

The artwork is minimal and the inside info is skimpy. The fact that it has been remastered is what makes this a CD to have.

Greatest But Not The Latest!.......2005-05-08

This compilation came out on Arista in 1989 and is the first PF CD to be released. The artwork for the cover is a PF lunchbox on a collage of colors similar to the bus. The first Greatest Hits was a picture of them in a house...At Home With Their Greatest Hits(1972) and folowed by The World Of The Partridge Family(1974), a blow up of the same photo.

PF fans are a little different from David Cassidy fans, oddly enough and when they compile the 2 together, everyone gets upset! David Cassidy included 3 PF hits on his Greatest Hits(1974) to make the LP have more buying power. They would have been better off adding his own 3 much sought after hits Daydream, the non lp B-sides All I Wanna Do Is Touch You (b/w Cherish) and Frozen Noses (b/w If I Didn't Care)

This collection includes David Cassidy's first 2 hits Cherish and Could It Be Forever and 14 PF favorites. The openning theme Come On Get Happy arks the first time release on a PF collection. It also includes How Long Is Too Long from Bulletin Board (STILL not available on CD!) The rest are their hits and most noteable album tracks like Summer Days, One Night Stand and Point Me In The Direction Of Albuquerque.

Missing in this collection are the hits Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Friend And A Lover, Walking In The Rain and their last single released in 1973-4 Looking For A Good Time. Also, there is no inclusion of any material from Crossword Puzzle.

So the only reason to have this in your collection is for How Long Is Too Long. Otherwise choose the Definitive Collection or the New Very Best for hard to get stuff.

Delicious Teen Pop.......2004-12-18

The late 1960s and early 1970s were the golden age of teen pop and the Partridge Family were one of the prime purveyors thereof. This greatest hits album lets you relive this wonderful era with melodious songs like the singalong I Think I Love You, the catchy Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted and the surprisingly mature I'll Meet You Halfway, a really soulful song. Other lovely pop ditties include It's One Of Those Nights, Cherish, Could It Be Forever and the great hit Looking Through The Eyes Of Love. I think that this album includes some of David Cassidy's solo hits because he became a star in his own right in the early 1970s and did very well, especially in the UK. The music is pure pop heaven and compares well with the clinical stuff that passes for pop and rules the airwaves nowadays. If you like tuneful, catchy music and bright vocal harmonies, you'll love this trip down memory lane.

Lunchbox-First Family Of Rock's Greatest Hits.......2004-11-01

Also known as Lunchbox this now defunct release by Arista came out in 1989 and tooted 16 of their greatest hits. Although the theme song "C'mon Get Happy" was not a hit is happily included here to set the theme as well as two of David's solo hits "Cherish" and "Could It Be Forever" which shows a little insightful research could go a long way. I personally believe Arista should have recognized David's solo potential both then AND now and put out a separate solo greatest hits for him. Curiously absent are any singles from "Crossword Puzzle" which may have spawned no hits but neither did "Bulletin Board" but the cut "How Long Is Too Long" (a great song though!) is in the mix here. The collection DOES include most of the Family's biggest hits and it DOES make for a fun listen! All the power house tunes are here so C'mon Get Happy!

Music You Don't Outgrow.......2002-05-29

What was it about The Partridge Family? The songs may have been called bubblegum and no serious oldies station would touch their music but thirty years after the songs were popular on AM rock radio they would now be listed as "adult contemporary" and still sound new and fresh. With much of the oldies getting outgrown because they don't speak to who we are nowdays the lyrics of these songs have grown up with us.

Rock At Its Finest.......2002-04-04

There can be no doubt that the Partridge Family represented rock artistry at its very finest. The melodies are infectious, the lyrics are insightful, and the performances are sublime. Of course, frontman David Cassidy, as lead vocalist (and Claptonesque lead guitarist), was often the main focus of attention, which is understandable; however, the marvelous contributions of the other members of the band should not be overlooked. For example, few others (except perhaps Keith Emerson or Rick Wakeman) could match the sheer artistry which Susan Dey brought to the keyboards, and, of course, Shirley Jones was equally skilled in that area. Danny Bonaduce's bass work was similarly brilliant (I defy Jack Bruce to do better), and was vitally important to crafting the inimitable PF sound, as was the wonderful tambourine playing of Suzanne Crough. It is also noteworthy that the rest of the band was able to adapt so well to the stylistic changes caused by the departure of original drummer Jeremy Gelbwaks (whose style was reminiscent of the great Keith Moon) and his replacement, Brian Forster, whose steady hand and keen sense of rhythm rivalled the legendary Charlie Watts. Although I have always been a devoted Gelbwaks fan, I have to admit that Forster was a brilliant replacement. Of course, in addition to their wonderful instrumental talents, all the Partridges were superb vocalists, with the voices blending in stunningly beautiful harmonies unmatched by any other band in the history of rock music. This stuff is real, sincere, and heartfelt rock at its best.
