CD ReviewsA great reminder and repackage 12/05/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "I don't remember loving "Mini Plus" or the singles of "2,3, Go" and "Montreal" as much as I had earlier Wedding Present material, and I bought this CD without realizing that most of its material consisted of those 3 disks. But what a surprise it was to put this record on and have my memory refreshed. I have been playing it over and over. Certainly there are less than good tracks, but there are so many fine tracks-- including the lovely acoustic "Sports Car," "Up," "2,3,Go", and [perhaps my favorite] "Love Machine"-- and it's so nice to have them gathered in one place, instead of 3 different disks, that I don't complain about having bought the material twice. Besides, many American fans of TWP might not have had access to the singles and their bonus tracks. I bought this record from Amazon at the same time as the new British reissue of the first "T Rex" record [the one featuring "Is It Love?"], and "Singles 1995-97" has been on the player for more often than "T Rex", even though I've been wanting "T Rex" on CD for years. "Singles 1995-97" may not be as marvelous as "Bizarro", but it's probably better than "Watusi" or "Saturnalia" as a collection of great short songs."
