I thought of "Venus" and the flip side "Hot Sand" by the Shocking Blue and went to Amazon to see if they had any CD's by them. I saw "Best Of" and "20 Greatest Hits". What caught my eye was "Singles A's & B's. I thought "How could a one hit wonder band have a double CD out with 47 tracks?" Curiousity got the best of me, and I ordered it. Within a few days the CD arrived and I played it. The first track "Venus" sounding as good as ever. What followed was "Shocking" to me. Every song seem to get better and better and when I reached that last track, I immediatly put disc 1 back in and hit "play" again. WOW! Why didn't this band catch on here in the U.S. 35 years ago? Songs that really stand out for me are "Venus", "Hot Sand", "Never Marry A Railroad", "Ink Pot",and "Angel". The Singer, Mariska Veres, reminds me at times of Grace Slick. I am really glad I purchased this title from The Shocking Blue. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True Blue *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2009* This cannot be a perfect comp, given it's "A/B Sides" format-but what a wonderfuland important document to a much over-looked band! (At least in USA.)On the heels of "Venus," I grew up on their USA LP on the Collosus label.....and a later comp LP of hits on the 21 label. So this is a much-needed breath of fresh air!The recordings here are lean and clean sounding....nice and natural. I was hoping for a little deeper bass, but it's fine. The liner notes are deep, and informative. My only complaint would be the inclusionof a few 80s/90s tracks, to the exclusion of great 70s cuts like "California Here I Come," and "Demon Lover." (Jury and Judge, and Body And Soul are good tunes,but suffer from that awful 80s sound--loud, electronic drums/synth. If you like Springsteen's Born In USA sound, you're home free.)Bottom line: the 70s material on these records just SMOKES!Similar to California's Emitt Rhodes from the same period,Robbie van Leeuwen gave life to this band with tremendous writing/producing/multi-instrumental skills way beyond his years.Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well, I'll be gosh-darned *by T***3 on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2009* I have no excuse. I had a copy of a Shocking Blue album back in the 70's that had (of course) Venus on it, but it also had plenty of other great songs. Somehow it got lost in the shuffle of way too many albums and I forgot about everything but the hit that still gets played occasionally. What a bonehead I was. Thanks to those who have written reviews of this band and re-opened my ears to them. Sadly, I recently learned that Mariska Veres, the singer for SB, lost her battle with cancer. She had continued in the music business until she passed away in 2007. It's practically criminal that this band never broke stateside. How often do you come across a double CD of a band with one hit that completely blows you away? Not very often, I'd say. 47 songs and at least 30 of them are complete keepers with the rest not far behind. And this is just a collection of all of their singles. My work is certainly cut out for me. Really, do yourself a favor. You like sixties/seventies rock/pop?
