Shoot Your Shot: Divine Anthology

All glitches fixed and great sound. This is the ultimate Divine compilation!!!

Brand new! Perfect! Thanks.

FAB! I think this cd was remastered and packaged perfectly genius. I remember dancing to this when it first was released and hearing many great DJ's mix this back then. These remastered recordings are awesome, excellent sound quality with no skipping, so I have no idea what all the bad reviews are all about. Some people are just DRAMA QWEENS and don't know good music. Be a leader not a follower and try it for yourself. WARNING: This CD will rock the house if your in the right mood. This is truly a divine cd collaboration in more than one way❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Finally, after decades of buying various incomplete Best-of collections on CD, ALL of Divine’s greatest recordings are made available in a deluxe package remastered by Big Break Records. (Okay, BORN TO BE CHEAP isn’t here but did it really need to be?). The older ‘best-of’s’ usually had all the Bobby Orlando material and one or two by Stock Aiken Waterman or vice versa so you were never getting everything in one place. This release rectifies that problem, plus the sound quality is improved. Everything sounds great and better than I’ve heard it before. They have tweaked and embellished some of the synths on here so songs like the 12” mix of I’M SO BEAUTIFUL sound subtly different, yet better. This release marks the official CD debut of YOU THINK YOU’RE A…MEDLEY which is essentially a Divine megamix (but came out years before that term entered the musical lexicon) that used to have the dancefloor’s PACKED in the ‘80s whenever it came on. I remember even seeing the jocks bouncing to this and amazingly they knew all the words, which proved that Divine’s appeal spread across various demographics. MEDLEY originally sounded thin and tinny with no bass due to the primitive mixing equipment back in 1985 but now everything is full and balanced. The original pressings apparently had major quality control issues so BBR delayed my order until now and I assumed I would receive one of the fixed pressings with no skips or other problems. The bad news is there are still a few glitches: HARD MAGIC skips at 6:16, LITTLE BABY skips at 4:55 and HEY YOU skips at 4:48. Too bad BBR can’t seem to get this right, otherwise it would be a Five Star release based on sound quality, track selection and packaging. The glossy booklet contains photos of almost all of the 12” singles (well, all the ones I owned in the ‘80s anyway that came from the US and UK). I am so glad they included those because half of the appeal of buying them was to see what outrageous hair and makeup Divi was sporting on the sleeve.

Again and again Cherry Red Records releases CDs full of errors – they did it before: - disturbing noise (Belouis Some, Aretha Franklin) - glitches (Nick Kamen) - wrong bonus tracks (Eighth Wonder, Hazell Dean) - Cds that won't play on every player (Samantha Fox, Hazell Dean, Pointer Sisters) - missing (promised) bonus tracks (Boy Meets Girl) - improper bonus tracks (Visage, Spagna) - Vinyl rips (too many to mention) This release contains glitches on ALL (previously unreleases on CD, with the exception of "twistin' the night away") songs. All of these previously unreleased versions are audible vinyl rips. But even without all these errors this compilation wouldn't be essential: Most 7" versions are missing, some of them haven't been released on CD yet. E.g. you get 2 versions of "shake it up", but no 7" or 12". Again this is a missed opportunity to get a definitive Divine collection. Conclusion: I won't buy a product from this label again – I'm fed up with this "company". Shame on you, Cherry Red Records!

i purchased this from seller and it skipped all over!!!

Fantástico disco de DIVINE Rip. Maravillosas canciones disco de finales de los 70s y principios de 80s. No sabía de su existencia y apenas lo vi, lo compré en el acto. Estupenda música.
