 ALL SONGS REDONE BY SAME MEMBERS BUT UPDATED Aug 08, 2009
NO one here has mentioned this but all these classic songs have been rerecorded by NKOTB,its like when you buy those cd,s by like chubby checker and you know its the same song but it sounds different because it has been redone.So if your looking for the original songs buy the first albums of NKOTB,and if you have those originals just listen to each and you can see and hear the difference for yourself.This cd should really state the above before people buy it,but I think Legacy thought fans wont notice the difference ,guess what someone has..Still a great album just a little unfair that your proding this to be originals and its done by originals but not the originals as found on the original first albums...
Thanks

 A Trip Down Memory Lane Jul 07, 2009
Now dealing with bills and careers, I reminice about the carefree days of my childhood.
Listening to this compilation album took me back to that era. It was a time of big hair and big dreams. MTV still played music and the Boston 5 were HUGE on rotation. I was never able to score tickets to any of their concerts--always sold out. But I devoured their albums. My favirote was Donnie!
Good May 18, 2009
The cd was in great condition. I bought it used and it was good as new.
Talk about a step back in time - THAT's what this is right here! Mar 28, 2009
Ahhh, the New Kids on the Block is back - with a very nice collection of their classic hits, as well as a few bonus tracks. Not to mention their newest release, "The Block". Good to see them back in action.
I once owned a copy of "Hangin' Tough" on cassette, way back in 1989, but I never replaced that with either a new CD or LP vinyl. I suppose that I had 'outgrown' them before the appropriate time. Then, that's when "Step By Step" came along - but I didn't get a copy of the song "Step By Step" until way later. I admit I'm 38 now, and yet I still enjoy their music to this day. But then, why not? Besides, I was a teenager in the late '80s.
Although I have heard quite a few songs on this CD here, I have yet to get my copy of it. Besides, I'm also a paying member of Rhapsody.com, and this album is included there for downloading and listening to as well. Rhapsody is usually very good at keeping up with the latest music releases, as well as re-issues of the classic albums I grew up with.
Anyway, one of my top favorites on this CD is the opening track "Step By Step". I also have a copy of that song on a multi-artist CD I bought in 1998, called Rock On 1990. But if I had to choose a favorite from this CD right here, the "Greatest Hits" release, I'd have to pick "If You Go Away". Although obviously a recent recording by NKOTB, it's got that classic late-80s sound and style to it. Perhaps the only thing I don't like about it is that the song fades out a bit too quickly at the end. Had I been the composer, I would have at least put a nice finale at the end of this number. But otherwise, that song is marvelous. I also checked the other NKOTB albums available both here and on Rhapsody, and "If You Go Away" is included on this album exclusively. Perhaps it was a demo song recorded years earlier, and they included it here as a bonus track, but I really couldn't set that in stone. Some feedback would be appreciated and helpful here.
Perhaps the one thing I like about "If You Go Away" is that it also sounds very much like a few 80s-era ballads done by the BeeGees. I have a copy of the latter group's 1989 album "One", and it is also wonderful. My three favorites on it are "Bodyguard", "Tears", and "Wish You Were Here". But then, that's a whole different story there.
Once again, I am indeed glad the New Kids on the Block have made a recent comeback. I just hope their legacy will live on for a bit longer. They have been around for almost 21 years now. But you never know...

Great CD. It brought back so many memories. I still remembered and loved every song!
