CD Reviews

A delightful tease!
Jim Holtz | Madison, Wi United States | 07/07/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"A teasing little appetizer that is far from giving good music listeners enough of Eydie & Steve. Eydie's solos are more classic than Steve's top 10sh material. Still, both are great together & apart. Any cd with Eydie belting out If He Walked Into My Life & What Did I Have could only be great! The best duet, Sunrise Suunset, is another reason to buy this. I recommend buying so much more of S&E than this one cd has to offer. Still, it's a good beginning!"
Great Compilation of Steve and Eydie!

"I have always enjoyed Steve and Eydie, but after some time had forgotten just how great they are. This compilation is a real joy. It provides most of their hits and some of their best work. Eydie's "Blame it on the Bossa Nova" is upbeat and was one of the reasons I bought this compilation. I love "Go Away Little Girl," Steve's biggest solo hit, and his rendition of "I Gotta Be Me." Although "Hallelujah" is not as good as the original Israeli version (by Milk and Honey with Gali Atari), it is still a lovely song. "Sunrise, Sunset," is a great duet. Overall, a great compilation -- a must for all Steve and Eydie fans!"
Warning: "Go Away Little Girl" is NOT the original 45 record

"Terrific audio quality, mostly great songs.



However the primary reason I bought this CD was specifically to get Steve's "Go Away Little Girl", one of my all-time favorites, as well as Edyie's "Blame It On The Bossa Nova". Yes, Steve's biggest hit is certainly on this CD, and for all I know it might actually be the original studio recording... which I'm guessing they were ultimately dissatisfied with and decided to not use as the released 45RPM single.



In other words, it is definitely NOT the original 45RPM radio version!



In this rendition Steve sounds sedated on Zanax! All of the expected distinctive multi-track slightly-delayed "echoic" duet sound of Steve with himself is not there, there's no crescendo or syncopation late in the song, and it might actually be a slightly lower key than the radio version. Certainly sounds very down-tempo and different to my ears. Absolutely a different musical arrangement.



So if you want the TRUE ORIGINAL 45RPM radio edit version, buy Steve's "Definitive Collection" which has 31 of specifically his songs... all but two of which are unique and are NOT on this Steve/Eydie "Greatest Hits Volume 1". And the version of "Go Away Little Girl" on that album definitely IS the original radio release. So you'll get 29 other Steve songs, as well as the TRUE ORIGINAL 45RPM radio edit of "Go Away Little Girl".



I'm just saying..."
