Many people may not know this group, but they have been a successful group since their UK debut in 1987. This album originally released as "The End of Part One: Their Greatest Hits" in UK and rest of the world. 12 songs including Four Weddings and A Funeral's soundtrack, Love Is All Around (which was the highest selling single in 1994 in UK, staying on top of the chart for 15 weeks!) are in this Part One album. Tracks of this album are their singles since their debut. From their debut single, Wising I Was Lucky to their latest single, Love Is All Around, you can really hear soulful Wet Wet Wet sound. This US release also includes remix of I Can Give You Everything that was only available on Limited second collection of The End of Part One, and impossible to obtain.
Their music is one of a kind. Marti Pellow's vocal is exceptional. Good Night Girl (another UK no.1 song) and Angel Eyes are classic ballades. This album is the great collection of their singles. You won't regret it. In fact, you are going to want more of Wet Wet Wet after listening to this album. Not very many bands could perform that kind of magic. Amazing.
I think Wet Wet Wet is the best group ever their music is so universal. They sing about real life situations and real emotions. I give it two thumbs up.
THE CD IS A GREAT CD AND I ENJOY THEIR MUSIC A GREAT DEAL WHY! BECAUSE IN MY COUNTRY THEY HARDLY PLAY THE MUSIC ON THE RADIO AND NEITHER THE MUSIC STORES HAVE THE ALBUM AVAILABLE
Wet Wet Wet lead singer, Marti Pellow has a very special voice. Leave it to great producers like Willie Mitchell (on "The Memphis Sessions") and the former leader of Chic (with Bernard Edwards) the one and only Nile Rodgers, to bring out the power and delicacy of his voice. Just listen to "Cold, Cold Heart" to hear that man sing! I would be the first to hope that Nile Rodgers would produce an entire album with this group. On the strength of this song alone, I recommend this CD, although there is only one other song produced by Nile Rodgers. It's too bad that Wet Wet Wet never gained greater attention in the US, because they are a self-contained band, they play their own instruments(!) and are very talented.
