The Collection (CD)

Anthology of the best from the Liverpudlian trio fronted by Colin Vearncombe, who is many times mistaken as the namesake of the band. Their greatest claim to fame is the UK #1 hit single quot;Wonderful Lifequot;, a captivating song that crystallizes the group at their best (and years later covered by Nederlandse singer Mathilde Santing, who also took it to the top of the charts in her home country). It was followed up by the chart topping quot;Sweetest Smilequot;. Here is a good overview of their recorded work for the A&M/Polygram associated label.
