Messages: Greatest Hits

When OMD first hit, I was in my late-30's! Unfortunately, OMD did not realise much success in the USA, first charting with So In Love in 1985. I enjoyed their follow up singles. But when their Greatest Hits LP (on A&M) was released I really got excited by their earlier work, especially Messages & Maid Of Orleans. Then later it was one of the first LPs I replaced with a CD. A&M did a great job on the CD and I've played it many, many times.Then when I got high-speed internet, I watched their videos on [...].Then I happened to find this CD/DVD set: Messages - Greatest Hits. After reading the other reviews I thought that the reason to buy this set was for the DVD and that the CD was ok.I love watching the videos and seeing them on wide screen tv is definately better than [...]! Plus I enjoyed watching the ones I hadn't seen. I would rate the DVD 5 stars.Then I listened to the CD, and wished that I hadn't waited so long to buy it! The remastering job is fantastic. Messages sounds incredible and really takes off. Maid Of Orleans gave me chills, and the harmony on Forever Live & Die was georgeous.Plus there were several songs that were not included on the A&M release. The best ones are Sailing On The Seven Seas and Telegraph. But on the downside, We Love You and La Femme Accident were left off. I would rate the CD 5 stars.That gives this set a total of 10 stars.I discovered Gemm.com and they sell 45's from all over the world. So I've been buying the early OMD singles, as well as ones by Sweet & Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - two other UK groups that didn't have much success here. Naturally all three of them are among my favorite groups of all-time.

Even though there are a couple of omissions on the CD ( "Red Frame/ White Light","Never Turn Away", "La Femme Accident", "Call My Name" etc).. The DVD alone is worth the price. I am happy though that they are finally releasing a complete singles collection in November of 2019 titled "Souvenir" ..

Forever live & Die was my most uplifted track from OMD. Most were very poppy but at the time in the late 80's there was a since of Goodbye. There Albums became very dark & the artwork wasn't Bright to get New wavers up on the floor again. Walking on the Milky Way..Seem to be there very last Catchy track..They were Incredible & One of the Best Group's in Show Bussiness! Some videos gave me Good memories: le fame accident Nice No# Synth Pop! Tesla Girls was my old breakdance crews Fav for Moves. A selective of tracks you could skip very easily cos most songs did'nt grap ya..well for me anyway. It was OK! Pretty Good.

Bring the 80's tunes back to me.

Love it!!

I've been a OMD fan since 1980. I like most of their earlier stuff. Even though I have several of their vinyls, I wanted something that I could quickly hear.

Good DVD worth the $$

The bonus dvd makes this purchase worthwhile.It's interesting to have the videos to go with the songs and this set offers a good retrospective of the band through the years.

Todos sus éxitos en un solo CD + DVD de sus videos.

My wife actually introduced me to this band when we were going out, yes, oh so many years ago, and I enjoyed the tunes. I found it here and bought the greatest hits and had it on the other day and it was great to hear the music from when my wife and I dated! If you were into some of the new wave type of music in the late eighties, then you will LOVE this!

2008年リリースのベスト盤です。CDの収録曲も最強ですが、とにかくDVDが素晴らしいです。当時（VHS時代）単体パッケージでもここまでのものは発売されていませんでした。未見のPVもこのDVDなら全て見られます。資料価値高し。画質はオリジナル由来なのかバラつきもありそれなりですが、初期の笑っちゃうようなインディーズ路線風から後期の凝ったものまで、とにかく全部入り。掲載商品情報では仕様に「PAL」とありますが、購入商品は「NTSC」、リージョン「ALL」でしたので、日本国内向けプレーヤーでも再生は問題ありませんでした。US盤。2時間たっぷり80年代にトリップ！

Enjoyed to see all the video`s on the DVD.

Great CD and great seller. Product arrived as described and would do business with this seller again.
