A good start for your Midnight Star collection.......2006-07-03
If you're looking for a complete Midnight Star collection, there isn't one. Each `greatest hits" compilation has it's own strengths and weaknesses. After much research, I finally choose this "The Best of" compilation as part of my strategy to own the ultimate Midnight Star collection.
Formerly a club DJ in the 80's, I was interested in only album or extended mixes. This CD included what I believe to be album cuts of Scientific Love and Engine No. 9; two must haves rarely found on other compilations. It also includes album cuts of Operator, Midas Touch, Headlines, & Wet My Whistle. Missing from this collection is Don't Rock The Boat and Electricity. One disappointment was the single mix of Freak-a-zoid.
With this CD I'll need to also purchase and download single mp3 extended mix versions of Freak-a-zoid, Electricity, Don't Rock the Boat, and possibly Operator to complete my ultimate Midnight Star collection. The best selling point about this CD is the price. At just $7 it represents a great value!

Customer Reviews:
GREAT SOUND QUALITY AND FULL VERSIONS.......2004-04-02
The sound quality of this compilation CD is great compared to all others out there for Midnight Star. The extended versions of all the songs are included which also adds to the CD's appeal. These days, it's hard to find a good compilation CD with full length versions in high quality sound. However, I wish they would have used the original album version of Freak-a-zoid (instead of or in addition to the re-mixed version) since it is 8:00 minutes itself thereby qualifying as an extended version. The song Midas Touch in it's extended version here (which I hadn't heard before) offers so much more than the single and was very nicely done with a gerat break beat about half way through.
Great collection........2003-05-05
This is a great collection of some of my favorite Midnight Star songs. This is a much better collection that the domestic 'best of' CD since it contains all the full length jams.

A Magical Christmas Album !.......2004-12-14
Jacqueline Schwab's plaintive piano is recognized almost immediately as the background music for Ken Burns' reknowned public broadcasting films covering Baseball and the Civil War...in this disc, she turns her considerable talents to the soothing, ethereal hymns, carols, and spirituals of the Christmas season. Upon my first hearing, I was reminded of my sitting in the parlour of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church's parsonage as the wife of the Pastor effortlessly, without benefit of sheet music, tinkered with the old-but-finely-tuned upright piano, playing Christmas hymns that made me weep. This disc is a gift. I defy you to listen to it and not be moved to your heart.
my CD of the year.......2002-11-25
Jacqueline Schwab's Down Came an Angel wins my best album of the year award (which goes to the best CD I first heard this year). This is Christmas music as it should be. Even without words, these recordings of these songs speak more to my heart and to the meaning of the season than I have heard music do in a long, long time.
Mrs. Schwab's playing has an unbelievable emotional (and I would argue spiritual) range. She is introspective one moment, exuberant the next, and then quietly adoring in the next. Rarely have I been so consistently impressed by an artist.
There are many highlights on this album, but the one that cries out to be heard is Mrs. Schwab's Away in a Manger--if I had a song of the year award, it would go to this song. This is music of hope for a hopeful season. Dorian's sound is, as usual (I'm going to start writing "of course" instead of "as usual"), outstanding.
Get a copy of Down Came an Angel--this is music at its best.
Capturing the Mood of Christmas.......1999-12-25
I first heard An Angel Came Down on KFUO-FM here in St Louis. I was transfixed. The solo piano captured the mood of each Christmas song, with strong hints of melody weaving in with light hints of melody - always serene.

Album Details
Midnight Star was Formed by the Calloway Brothers, Reggie and Vincent, at Kentucky State University, Along with Vocalist Belinda Lipscomb. After Some Success, the Trio Fleshed Out to a Septet and Finally Hit it Big with their Third Album "no Parking on the Dance Floor". It Yielded the Hit Singles "Freak a Zoid' as Well as the Title Track. The Success Streak Continued for Two More Albums, When the Calloway Brothers Decided to Go it on their Own and Formed the Group Calloway. Subsequently, They Hit on their Own with "i Wanna Be Rich" and were Some of the Most In-demand Producers Among R&B Acts. This Convenient Disc Collects Both Groups' Hits on a Single Disc.

Wet My Whistle.......2006-08-22
I originally bought this disc for the 5+ minutes version of "Playmates." For me "Playmates" is a very infectuous dance tune. Overall, a very good import disc - Funny how we have to go overseas for better "American" product. Four stars!

Extended album versions here.......2005-03-19
If you're thinking "why should I choose this Midnight Star collection over the others?", this CD won't disappoint you. I discovered 2 rewards from this album: "Wet My Whistle" and "Playmates". These 2 songs are actually longer versions that what's on their original album No Parking on the Dance Floor. It's strange how the liner notes don't even mention that these 2 songs are extended versions.
Even if you have all Midnight Star's albums, you still need to get this compilation for the "extended" versions.
decent cross selection of the group's earlier music.......1999-01-02
Fairly decent selection of music. It's difficult to locate tracks like "I've Been Watching You" from early LP "Standing Together," one of group's better efforts.

This group is competant, but Curious is really one of the only songs that will excite you. Their stuff is funky and at other times quirky. Curious is definitely solid though, it almost sounds like it really isn't them.
