Synopsis

Album Description

Import-only compilation from the American Classic Rock act who hit their peak with their 1980 album Hi-Infidelity that sold seven million in the U.S. alone. The band began as a hard rockin' outfit, ignored by the critics but adored by their fanbase. When vocalist/songwriter Kevin Cronin took the reigns, he steered the band towards a softer, gentler direction, which earned the band huge commercial rewards (although the critics began to dislike them even more). In the '80s, REO scored many hits and , for a time, were just as popular as Journey, Foreigner and other like-minded bands. Tracks include the AOR radio staples, 'Keep On Loving You', 'Can't Fight This Feeling', 'Don't Let Him Go' and 'Take It On The Run'. 15 tracks in all. Sony. 2000.

CD Reviews

Terrible Sound Quality, Questionable Track Choices!

Frederick Baptist | Singapore | 09/18/2005

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I guess I only have myself to blame for not doing enough research before getting this but the reason why I went for this and not the more popular remastered "Hits" is because I really wanted "Keep the Fire Burning" which for some reason is not there. I could live with the track selections that do leave out quite a lot of better tracks that are found on the "Hits" package but the poor sound quality is what really gets me. Definitely a misnomer as this is certainly not the best of REO either in track selections or in sound quality."

A better than your "average" compilation

Larry McKenna | Bartlett, IL USA | 11/27/2000

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This compilation really did go through ALL of REO Speedwagon's records. It is not just the 1980's through 1995 years here. For someone who is just being introduced to REO you will hear the transformation from a "Country" sounding band in the early 70's, to what we all know and love, the arena rock band. Pick this one up if you're looking for all the favorites, with a touch of their old stuff."

REO SPEEDWAGON ROCKS!!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Although this was released in 1990 in Japan. It was titled "Keep On Loving You". It is long Out of Print there. This is a very good selection from their 20+ year career (at that time). Even after 30 years REO is still together now on tour with Styx and Survivor. Playing the same 'ole tunes night after night. REO has sang Ridin' The Storm Out over 6,000 times since 1973. The song appears on at least 5 of their 30+ disc catalogue. And yes, it is even on this one. Along with classics like Golden Country (Gary Richrath's musical protest to the Veitnam War). Not just the "Hits" it is truly a best of... All song are "Previously Released". I LOVE the cover!"
