Freddie & the Dreamers

Despite its relatively shoddy packaging and remastering, Collectables' The Very Best of Freddie & the Dreamers is a good collection of the British Invasion group's best moments. "I'm Telling You Now" and "Do the Freddie" are here, of course, along with 23 other tracks. Since the group was essentially a one-hit wonder, there aren't many lost classics scattered throughout the album, but there are a couple of fun little songs that will be of interest to Freddie fans. However, if you already have EMI's collection The Best of Freddie & The Dreamers, this is unnecessary, since there's an enormous amount of overlap between this collection and that 25-track compilation. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
