Playlist: The Very Best Of The Outfield

I PURCHASED THIS CD REALLY JUST FOR MY ONLY TWO FAVORITE SONGS BY THEM WHICH ARE''SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE''AND''YOUR LOVE''AND THESE TWO SONGS THEM SELVES ARE GREAT BUT THE QUALITY OF THE AUDIO SOUND IS VERY LOW AND THERE INSTRUMENTS SOUNDS SHOULD STAND OUT MORE AND BE HERD MORE EASILY AND MORE POWER DRIVEN SO THEY STAND OUT MORE AND HIT HARDER BUT I LOVE THESE TWO SONGS BY THIS THREE MAN BAND !P.S.CD CAME AS DESCRIBED BRAND NEW WITH NO FLAWS BUT THE FRONT CASE HAD TWO LONG CRACKS.

To start, I am in no way affiliated with the band or media. I am merely a long time music appreciator in my 50's, who loves every aspect of music writing and production. I write this out of respect and sincere love of the sound. Now that you have my context, and don't think I am a fake reviewer just out to boost sales... My opinion:This feel-good English band with an "American" sound (as many music critics have said) is all there, with a few heartfelt songs as well. Starting out as "The Baseball Boys", taken from inspiration by one of the roving park gangs in the 80's film The Warriors, what soon became known as "The Outfield" grew in popularity quickly in the US and abroad. If you love 80's music as I do, you will really enjoy adding this to your collection. Don't be concerned with trying to define or categorize the sound as "New Wave" (an often misused term that means little any more) or even as "Power Pop". Those terms mean little. Just listen and enjoy it.This is a great collection of best known hits from The Outfield. All the ones you would expect and hope for are there. Even some lesser known post-80's gems that will be great discoveries for you. The audio CD includes a small handful of photos of The Outfield that will auto display in a slideshow format when the CD is played through a gaming console (like XBox One) or through a PC. A nice touch. The only song that I feel is oddly missing is the 1986 ballad, "Everytime You Cry", (also from the "Play Deep" album) which may have been omitted for odd legal reasons of some sort or another, as is commonplace in the music industry in this era.This music still holds up well, even some 35 years after their wildly popular 1985 album "Play Deep" that seemed to come out of nowhere . The original "Play Deep" lineup was Tony Lewis (base and vocals), John Spinks (guitar and vocals), and Alan Jackman (drums). John Spinks sadly passed away in 2014 and Alan Jackman left the band after the 1989 album "Voices of Babylon" and later rejoined in 2011. After the death of John Spinks in 2014, The Outfield officially disbanded.Today, lead singer Tony Lewis is still making music and he has not lost a thing in terms of talent and vocal range. Even as the sole member of the group's few incarnations, you really can't hear a difference between then and Tony Lewis now---other than improved production levels that occur with innovations in audio production technology over time. His 2018 solo album release "Out of the Darkness" features song lyrics co-written with his wife (who inspired him to get back into his love of music after the death of long time friend and bandmate John Spinks succumbed to liver cancer, which made him put down his guitar). On this new album by Tony, he plays all the instruments and handles the album's production.In other words, you can keep your enjoyment of this same "Outfield sound" going with new music today through lead singer Tony Lewis.Back to the collection though. If you are looking for a great time capsule for music by The Outfield, this is really it. Enjoy!Update: Sadly, we recently lost Tony Lewis. All the more reason to get this collection.

Some of my favorite music to listen to when I'm doing household chores!

Sound quality is just not that good. Can barely hear the bass at all.

Item arrived quickly and just as described. Item was also well packaged.

I love this CD. It took me back to a good place. If u love this group you’re guna love this CD

The CD brings back lots of memories. I bought it not long after I found out the lead singer died. I love his voice & their songs :)

Was about as I expected

Disc came with no problem at all. I've been missing some songs from the outfield where i can play on a cd so i bought this, very satisfied.

A good release, some songs had their play over the radio and video format. I was not interested in buying the 3 studio one's so I went with this one. I do enjoy most of the disc.

ハイトーンボイスが魅力的なThe Outfield彼らも80年代の魅力溢れる隠れた名バンドのひとつです。Your Love は８０’ｓの名曲集から決して外せない傑作なんです。今回、Playlist レーベルから待望のリマスター盤がリリースされましたね。しかもベスト盤で！！既発のアルバムCD、Play Deep が、音圧の低い残念なものだっただけに、今回のリマスターは本当にありがたいです。Your Love 以外にもいい曲てんこ盛りで、All The Love なんかもイイ感じ。何と言っても曲に統一感があり、このバンドのやりたいことがよく分かります。８０’ｓの明るいポップハードに心躍りますよ！！

Absolutely amazing....😁😁😁
