the best cd i have
it has song after song that i like. i have over 800 cd's and 400 albums and this cd is one of the best. i just can't play it enough of "TELL ME WHY-YOU WON'T DANCE WITH ME-LOVE HAS REMEMBERED ME".


Band is in crisis but has contractual obligations, I guess..
It only has one song I would put on a hit compilation - "Rock Myself To Sleep" - and only if it were a double CD compilation and had enough room for everything else. Not much good I can say about this one. Simply don't buy it unless you are a hardcore fan and want to have everything by AW.


Almost All the Best from One of Canada's Greatest Bands
I just saw them again last Saturday night (08/10/02) at the Franklin County Fair in Upstate New York. I first saw April Wine live at the Montreal Forum about twenty years ago. I was expecting to see a bunch of old men going through the motions, but, while the bass player and drummer have added quite a few pounds, April Wine put on a great show, playing about half of the songs on this compilation.
April Wine has many compilations out there, and, except for their boxed set, none has all of their essential tracks. This one comes close, but I'm only giving it four stars instead of five because of the absence of "Bad Side of the Moon," "Oowatanite," "I Like to Rock," and "All Over Town. " Those four tracks should have taken the place of the less essential tracks on this compilation: "Love Has Remembered Me"; "Tell Me Why"; "What If We Fall in Love"; and "You Won't Dance With Me. "
But, all in all, a great compact disc with great music.


Excellent Hits CD
This is an excellent overview of April Wine's music. Pay no attention to the bad reviews of this CD. As a matter of fact, this Hits collection turned me into an April Wine fan. Now that I know more about them, I realize there are two sides to April Wine - the power ballad/mellow side and the rocking side. Both sides of this band are tremendous and so much better than any new band could hope to be. This CD is exactly what it is titled - The Hits. This is also a Canadian import. Unlike Greatest Hits packages put together in the USA, they know how to truly put all of the "hits" on a CD. But, as all April Wine fans know, there is also a harder edge to April Wine than what is found on this CD and most of the their hits. Do yourself a favor, purchase this CD as well as another import of April Wine music entitled "All The Rockers. " These two CDs (a total of 36 tracks in all) combined, are representative of April Wine's best and will be a welcome addition to any rock & roll collection. Let's face it, we have to go back into the past for good rock & roll. Discover April Wine all over again! Or, for the first time. I also purchased both CDs: The Hits & All The Rockers for a friend of mine and he was thrilled.


The Hits AND The Misses from April Wine
Maybe I am not the typical April Wine fan. I don't know what Myles and the boys were thinkin' on this one. With 19 songs, there should be more than 5 really good tracks, don't you think? Well, there's not. You get Say Hello, Enough Is Enough, Just Between You And Me, Roller (great tune) and Sign Of The Gypsy Queen.

What happened to all the other good stuff from First Glance and Nature Of The Beast? Or even from Harder. . . Faster? Make your own mix from these three albums and Power Play. This release is too light on the hard stuff and good stuff from the boys from Canada.
