| I've always been a fan of Mike & the mechanics, and have been looking for a greatest hits CD for a long time. Found it here! The album offers both ballads & faster paced songs, with the melodys blending beautifly together. I found it hard not to like the entire CD. Definitly can recommend this one! |

| What rock was I under at the time of this band? I heard of Mike and the Mechanics and I saw their videos. Anyway, I love this group and their songs! I love Another Cup Of Coffee and Over My Shoulder. Paul Carrack has a great voice. I read that some did not like All I Need is A Miracle but I like it. It's not the orginal recording but it's just as good. I highly recommend this CD. |

 U.S. Version of Mechanics "Hits" Could Have Been Better...
Submitted on: 2008-06-19 |

| Hits was Mike and The Mechanics' first compilation. The 13-track anthology spanned the first 11 years of the group's history starting with their 1985 debut through 1995's Beggar On a Beach of Gold. The collection also featured one new track, "All I Need Is A Miracle '96" which is a remake of one of their biggest singles. All four albums from the era covered on Hits are represented with a fairly thoughtful mix of material from each disc. While ideal track listings on "best of" sets are always debatable, I found the songs selected to be extremely representative of the body of the group's work from that period. While I ultimately prefer Mike and The Mechanics' Favourites CD if I was to pick one collection on the band, Hits makes a great introduction to the music of the Mechanics and is certainly a worth while purchase. Sadly, there was a missed opportunity by Rhino in the U.S. since this North American issue didn't surface until after the band's demise. This could have been updated to span the entire catalog and be the definitive collection. Instead, its really a repackage of the 1996 European version. |
