Ultimate Collection (The Fixx)

The Fixx's Ultimate Collection is aptly named. This one disc, nineteen-track retrospective contains all their hits and some key album tracks. Unlike some other Fixx collections, all of these songs are present in their original studio forms. I was quite happy to find this disc, as there are quite a few Fixx songs I enjoy, particularly the excellent "Secret Separation." Others good ones I'd known before include "Are We Ourselves," "One Thing Leads to Another," "Deeper and Deeper," and "Red Skies." New highlights include "How Much Is Enough," "Some People," and "Driven Out." Overall, this is a nice Fixx collection that's sure to please those looking to add them to their collections.
