Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The best of their compilations!.......2007-04-26

This greatest hits collection focuses more on their funk and disco period of the 1970's, which is what I personally prefer. It also contains full versions of their hits, rather than some songs which are followed by "Part 1". And when you're enjoying "The Love I Lost" and "Bad Luck", you don't want condensed versions!

4 out of 5 stars Hidden Treasure.......2005-09-22

Over a span of 1972 - 1976 comprised over these years from Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes a Collectors' Item of a group with a soulful sound of deeply rooted R&B. Though I am a bit confused of the group's name, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, it should have been Teddy Pendergrass & the Blue Notes or simply Blue Notes. "The Love I Lost" is simply an upbeat tune of a love going in opposite directions. Titles such as "Bad Luck", "Be For Real" and "Where Are All My Friends" are songs with a message as the foundation, yet played a minimum role as the vocals were more relevant. They show their faults as some relationships may suffer instead of healing some surprising issues on "If You Don't Know Me By Now". Sharon Paige featured on "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon" aids with a more subtle tone to give this song the needed climax. The conclusion of this eight title LP, "I Miss You" was well worth the wait as Teddy vamps under the talk session of another member.

5 out of 5 stars Watch out for Teddy's vocal vamps... .......2005-01-25

...when the TSOP/MFSB orchestrators break down the tunes and goes into extended grooving. Particularly on Bad Luck and Where are All My Friends. Some fans of HM&BNs will be slightly dismayed that Don't Leave Me This Way is not found on this collection. I however overlooked that because the compilation producers found it fit to put the dynamic Be For Real (I want folks to dig my style with a smile) here. Additionally the soulful I Hope that We Can Be Together Soon can be heard here. Teddy boy seemed to be a hard guy to replace because HM&BNs never did recapture thier success after this great Philadelphia International (with Teddy lead vocals) run. Thanks to the Recording Technology Gods we can hear how good soul music used to be...

5 out of 5 stars Don't Even Think About Calling Them A Disco Act.......2003-09-28

Their facility with the kind of danceable R and B that would soon enough be called disco (and, in their case, was spinning the disco clubs about as often as the earlier Donna Summer and the Trammps, among others) should never obscure that, first and foremost, the lineup of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes which became stars in the early 1970s was a soul ensemble and a powerful enough one. (You can find plenty enough who mistake them for just another disco act.) Their regular albums tended a little too much toward either filler or extensions that didn't really enhance the songs, but here is where you get the absolute best of this quintet - from "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and "I Miss You" through "Bad Luck," "Where Are All My Friends," and "The Love I Lost" - without the excess and with everything that made them stars, from the effortless harmonies and rhythmic facility to the singular voice - maybe the most stentorian classic soul voice since Levi Stubbs - of Teddy Pendergrass (or, Theodore Pendergrass, as he was usually billed in the Blue Notes' heyday). Even three decades after their most successful period ended acrimoniously, this music is both the bridge between the vintage 1960s soul and what the 1970s ultimately became, for better or worse. Don't blame the Blue Notes for what was developed on the other side of the bridge; at their best. This set makes clear enough that they had the music's best interest at heart.

3 out of 5 stars Leaves you begging for more..........1998-05-30

Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes are one of the great forgotten soul groups, one of those groups with a distinctive sound that the listener knows...but has no idea whose sound it is. It was, of course, the sound of Teddy Pendergrass, before the jewel-bedecked Love Man phase and before the tragic injuries...back when all the man had was a voice that wouldn't quit. Buy this CD if you must, but know that once you do you'll be back for the more inclusive If You Don't Know Me By Now package, which is far superior.

        Album Description

        Out of print in the U.S. 1972 debut from the fabulous Soul outfit featuring the distinctive vocals of Teddy Pendergrass. Although Harold Melvin led the Blue Notes, he surrounded himself with great vocalists. Pendergrass may have been the break-out star, but Melvin and his boys never let their fans down. This debut features 'If You Don't Know Me By Now', which was a huge success in the '80s when Simply Red took it into the charts again...but the Blue Notes version is still the best. This reissue features one bonus track: the single edit of 'If You Don't Know Me By Now'. Sony.
