Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0731453085725 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Motown Manufacturer: Motown MPN: 530857 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Motown Release Date: February 10, 1998 Studio: Motown Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' 25-cut disc is the single most impressive one of Motown's Ultimate Collection series (which features 17 artists). Combining Smokey's endlessly inventive twists on romance (good and bad) with the Miracles' handful of straight-up party hits, it showcases one of American pop's most sure-footed and touching acts. The frontman's prowess as singer, writer, and producer lights up each of these single mixes; less-celebrated tracks like "My Girl Has Gone," "(You Can) Depend on Me," and "The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage" stand as tall as the many oldies-radio staples featured here. (For much more, including "Mirage's" unstoppable flip side, "Come Spy with Me," check out the four-disc 35th Anniversary box set.) Robinson and his collaborators, both in and out of the group, regularly injected undeniable emotion into their creamy constructions, making for a stack of tracks that remain as relevant as the contemporary creations of fans Lennon-McCartney and Bob Dylan. --Rickey Wright Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Smoking SmokeyGreat memories but a lot of unknown songs that I did not enjoy. What a group they were!!! Rating:  - Miracles hitsContains all the greatest hits of the Miracles and is liked very much by people like me who prefer rock and roll when it was rock and roll, meaning previous to the Beatles. Rating: - Bridging The Gap In TimeI was not even close to being born when the latest dating joint on this collection was made. This collective for the most part is their 1960's classics, with one from 1959 and 2 from the early 70's, a decade before I was even born (1982 FYI). This music is Rhythm And Blues in its purest form. I can relate to this music more than the RnB of today. "Bad Girl" from 1959 is such a beautiful doo-wop style harmony, and Smokey Robinson's voice has such a passion in it. The simplistic beat is just so ...

This is a long CD, over one hour, with 25 tunes, so fans will get their money's worth from this CD. For me the CD is an enjoyable listen. It's just not the genre I'm particularly into, so I gave it 4 stars. Fans of the 60s Motown stuff might consider it a 5 though. My favs: Second That Emotion Tears of a Clown Tracks of My Tears Rating: - Ours Is An Age Of MiraclesSo you find a 10-spot on the street. Whatever will you do with it? Bribe a Congressman? Take it to your local greasy spoon for a hearty bowl of squirrel surprise, and a slice of the meringue pie you've been eyeing for months as it circled in its rotating glass case? Maybe skip down to the spirits store and pick up a bottle of Chateau Wallaby, ignoring the warning label which clearly states, "Caution: Consuming this product may cause nausea, dizziness, and an intense desire to burst into tears." ...
