CD Reviews

The Persuaders- The Platinum Collection

Ricky H. Haag | Manchester,N.J. USA | 03/26/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Rhino stands for quality! So I thought! I have over 700 Cd's and A ton from Rhino. Having said that, this collection excites me and puzzles me at the same time! What do I mean?! Well, the very first track on this collection is the timeless, infectious monster jam "Thin Line...", that put the Persuaders on the map.Ok then I'll get to my point! You can here the record scratches pretty much throughout the song! This makes me wonder! This song has been on a million compilation sets and it has been cleaned up nicely. Why would Rhino,Warner,Atlantic have a problem with it's remastering? The rest of the disc seems fine! I'm just glad I have "Thin Line..." on about 30 other discs, or I would have been really upset!I guess it drives me crazy because it took over a decade for someone to put out another Persuaders set, and it's first song isn't cleaned up good!It is a pretty good collection though, having 20 tracks, 7 of them on disc for the first time,( track 13,14,15,17,18,19 and 20).

On a different note, I have all the Persuaders LP's, and if I was to put out a collection, it would be a little different. These guys have such killer ballads,that for some reason are just forgotten about!"

A Fair Effort

"I purchased with excitement this CD by the Persuaders, because this selection has cuts missing from the so called greatest hits release. Happy to hear those cuts, especially "Some guys Have All The Luck." Simply because there were only the dull remakes available by the late Robert Palmer, and Rod Stewart, etc.

I have though a real sore point, this CD was not digitally formatted, or remastered. It sound as if they put on a record scratches and all, transfered it to a digital tape, and then burned the CD. I know not why the decision was made to take such a wonderful production and screw it up this way. I guess money was the goal, not quality."
