FIREFALL ESSENTIALS NOT A REMIX. THESE SONGS ARE THE ORIGINAL SINGLE VERSIONS. SOUND QUALITY IS WAY LOT BETTER THAN THE GREATEST HITS ONE. All the hits, but outtake mixes - skip it. These are NOT the mixes of these songs that were used for the original albums and singles, and in many cases the songs have also been cut in length. Sure, all the hits are here, but they all sound slightly "off". I would actually rate this collection NO stars, because it really serves no purpose. People who are buying a "hits" collection, which this is, want to hear the EXACT versions of the songs they remember. People who are looking for alternate versions of songs are not going to be satisfied with just getting the second-rate mix that was not deemed the best to go on the final album master. Unfortunately, the old vinyl "Firefalls Greatest Hits", which had the hits in their original album versions, does not seem to be available on cd. That leaves the listener to buy all of the original album cds and make their own compilation. Firefall The Essentials However, the single edited version of Strange Way was quite the rip. Contains all 11 of the top 100 hits. Fans of Firefall either know the single version or the album version. To give us the inferior version was not right. Bad choice on part of the record company. Otherwise than that, you will not find a better hits package for Firefall. You can see a complete list of all Firefall discography, or go back to the Firefall tabs
