Title: Sad Indeed!
Review: It's "greatest hits" packages like this that leave many fans wondering in awe about how songs get chosen for these type of things. Sad Cafe's best moment was "Run Home Girl", a Hall & Oates-styled pop song with cool vocals, nice sax bits and a wailing synth/guitar solo that brought British rock and American soul together in fine fashion. MISPLACED IDEALS and FACADE were the band's two biggest albums (both for A&M) and both are on a 2-disc reissue via Renaissance which is a superb buy and complete value-for-dollar CD. This set, however, is downright SAD. It doesn't contain "Run Home Girl" or any of the really great songs from FACADE. It limps along with a majority of cuts from far inferior albums the band released for RCA when the vim and vinegar were long-gone. Contrary to the nice cover and the full title of this so-called "anthology", this isn't the set you really want of you're a fan of this fine seventies Britpop band.
Is the review positive or negative?
