The remake of "More,more,more" is a nifty dance tune but it's the only reason to own the album. For Bananarama completists only(both of you).


Bananarama +Abba Sound+String Section +Male soul singer backing vocals=Please Yourself
I would describe it as Bananarama meet the sound of Abba. One of the best Bananarama Albums with a fine selection of songs. They then pick up a couple of male soul backing singers walk into the middle of an orchestra and get produced by Stock and Waterman.
'Is she good to you' should have been released as a single. 'Let me Love you one more time' is a beautiful song with a powerful middle 8 instrumental.
The extra B side tracks 'Another Lover' and 'Treat me right' are good fun.
Listen and Enjoy.


This reissue should have been beefed up with a second disc of remixes
It also turns out to be the album that had a load of remixes released for its singles, all of which have now become highly collectible and hard to obtain. Coming well after the girls' hey day, this album is now one that fans who had lost touch seek out to hear something 'new'. My original release of this CD came with a bonus disc of remixes of their PREVIOUS tracks from other albums. I only wish this CD had come with a CD full of the remixes of More More More, Last Thing On My Mind, and Movin On. Or the least they could have done was give us a FEW of those remixes, considering this disc runs 3 minutes short of an hour, leaving more than 20 minutes of unused disc space!

It is nice to have a couple of the b-sides though, and the rare Dave Ford remix of More More More is another pleaser.


Very Abba-esque....
Although the material was good, it simply didnt compare to their previous recordings with the PWL team. If you already have the Very Best of disc, then you have all the important songs from this CD. The Abba sound is nice. It works really well on "Last thing" and "Movin on".
Its almost as if they knew the end of PWL was coming and they had to get in one last release. .


A great album
If you buy this album you will dig it. Another great album from Bananarama, the More, More, More, remake is really good.
