john waite in younger years at his best
top songs from the 80's, twenty years ago john waite was one of the best. two albums mask of smiles I think his best, rover's return a little softer. now I wish that he would come back with a fantastic new album 2007, I hope so.

WHAT A DEAL !!!!!
I have looked for them for quite some time, and finally, to find them both in one disc. That's exactly what you get ! A great deal by gettin' 2 of John Waite's best albums. . . almost unbelievable. . .
Well, just "These times are hard for lovers" in crystal-clear cd sound is worth the money invested in buying the album.
But there's more than that. . . a lot more.
"Every step of the way" is a great 80's fm song; "Welcome to paradise" is a wonderful ballad, alongside "Sometimes".

"Laydown","She's the one","Act of love","Encircled". . . too many great tracks to mention. . .
Ok, there's no "Missing you" here, but then again, you won't find it in any other John Waite record, or in any other artist's album. From his 80's work, these are my favorite albums. If you're into the 80's sound, this is a great opportunity for you to get 2 classic albums from a guy who knew (and still knows)how to deliver wonderful love-related songs with powerful rock anthems. This is John Waite at his best. . . in the 80's, that is.


Best 2 Waite LP's on 1 cd
These are my 2 favorite John Waited cds. I'm so glad to see these 2 cds in print. Most of the songs on both cds are solid rockers,but I do prefer Mask of Smiles of Rover's Return. There are excellent melodic rock tunes from start to finish such as JUST LIKE LOVERS,THE CHOICE,NO BRAKES,WILD ONE,SHE'S THE ONE,ENCIRCLED,ACT OF LOVE,DON'T LOSE ANY SLEEP(also recorded by Starship in 1987 as well). The song JUST LIKE LOVERS could have been a huge hit single in my opinion. The fast rocking song NO BRAKES is a great song to [turn] up while driving down the highway with the window down. This is great music for a great price.


John Waite-- King Of Love Songs
If you are a fan of meaningful love songs then I strongly suggest you listen to Mr. John Waite is quite simply in touch with love and lovers and has undoubtedly proven so over the years. Waite's songs.


John Waite - Mask of Smiles/Rover's Return
He's probably best known for his 80s mega hit Missing You. John Waite has enjoyed a remarkable career headlining such renowned groups as The Babys and Bad English, frequently showing up on movie soundtracks, and regularly resurfacing as a superb solo artist. But the pairing of these two long out of print albums gives us several more similar Waite songs that are comparable to Missing You, although equally striking on their own. Mask of Smiles brings us two Waite classics - Every Step of the Way and Just Like Lovers. These two songs stand above the other tracks and if they were the only tracks on the album, they would be well worth the price of admission. Other notable tracks include Welcome to Paradise, Lust For Life and You're the One. Rover's Return gives us Act of Love - which, if Missing You is John's best, then Act of Love is arguably his second best. Other tracks of note are These Times Are Hard For Lovers, Encircled, Wild One, Don't Lose Any Sleep and She's the One. John Waite fans will revel in the fact these two albums are finally available on CD. This will surely win him many more fans in his long and illustrious career.
