2012 two CD collection from the British R&B band. Led by charismatic singer/songwriter, Errol Brown, Hot Chocolate are without doubt one of the UK's most successful and popular singles bands. The hits started in 1970 and continued right up until 1984 in a remarkable 14 year run that witnessed the chart-topping 'So You Win Again,' and such memorable songs as 'You Sexy Thing' (which was a Top 10 smash in three separate decades), 'Disco Queen,' 'Emma,' 'No Doubt About It' and 'Every 1's a Winner.' This stunning 41-track retrospective features 29 chart hits, including 12 Top 10s. Music Club Deluxe.

A must for rock & roll librarys!
It is a difficult thing to do when trying to compile a " Best of" or " Greatest Hits" of any highly talented & prolific band & succeed in gathering all of the great songs...even on a 2 C.D. set. This is one of those rare cases when they accomplished that goal. Now I am sure that there are some hard core fans of Hot Chocolate that may argue that one of their favorites are missing , but for the casual fan this collection will more than satisfy & will more than likely introduce them to some great songs they may never have heard before. I think it was a genius move to put all 38 songs on this collection that entered the charts for Hot Chocolate in the U.K. where this band is from! The opening song " You Sexy Thing" was amazingly a top ten smash hit in 3 different decades! Other songs in this collection were hits for other groups that did cover versions of Hot Chocolates hits like the song " Brother Louie" which The Stories took to number 1 on America's Billboard chart. And if it wasn't for Hot Chocolates song " Could Have been A Lady" the Canadian Guitar band April Wine might not have broke through in the U.S. as April Wine took " Could Have Been A Lady" to #21 on America's Billboard chart from April Wines debut Album! Actually it is a great testament to a singer/songwriter to have bands succeed with covers of their songs. Honestly I never realized Hot Chocolate was a U.K. band from Brixton until I purchased this collection & read the booklet included. Songs like " Every 1's a Winner" & " Emma" are not only instantly memorable, they are also timeless. Hot Chocolate's lead Singer/songwriter Errol Brown has the ability to write songs that cover the full range of human emotions. songs like " It Started With A Kiss" will bring back memories of every mans first girl friend...and songs like " Man To Man" touch on problems many a man may have gone through at some point in their life. I guess what I am trying to say is when I sat down uninterrupted and really listened to all 38 songs in this collection it was like a emotional rollercoaster & Ice cream for the ears all at the same time! I knew there were songs on here I would really like to own , but I was very happily surprised at how talented this band really was & how much of their music never made it a crossed the pond! From a commercial stand point this is truly THE BEST OF HOT CHOCOLATE. For those building serious Rock & Roll or just Music Library's this is a must have! The sound quality is great, the booklet is informative and most important the music is outstanding!

If you thought you liked Hot Chocolate, buy this album.
I tried this album out on YouTube before I bought it, to see if I wanted it. The YouTube compression spoiled the album to the point I wasn't sure. Anyway after thinking more and knowing I liked HC, I bought it.What a deal!£4.99 for all this music.I played it first out three albums that I bought together, because I was keen to hear it. There are 38 tracks on this double CD, and I liked 36 of them. That is value.The hits were always great. However , even HC's run of the mill love tunes on the 2xCD, had something special and magical about them.Can't recommend it highly enough. Do yourself a favour and buy this double CD. There are even other single CDs of HC, that cost more. From my point of view knowing this double CD, it's the one to get.

Super CD's
Die CD's sind in einer Doppel CD Hülle im Schuber bei mir angekommen und machen einen wertigen Eindruck.Die Soundqualität der Musikstücke ist wirklich ordentlich und ersetzt alle "Best of 70's" Zusammenschnitte.
