Asia & Boston - Winning Combinations (2000)

As budget compilations come and go, there are so many that are easily dispensable and forgettable, taking their place on dusty racks in convenience stores and interstate rest stops across the nation. But this one isn't so bad. The combination of Atlantic Starr and L.T.D. -- two of the best soul ensembles of the late '70s and early '80s -- complement one another well, with each group offering up a sampling of their best works including Atlantic Starr's chart topping R&B quiet storm ballad "Secret Lovers" and L.T.D.'s "(Everytime I Turn Around) Back in Love Again." Die-hard collectors will most like find this compilation irrelevant, but those wanting to get familiar with both groups will have a hard time finding a more economically sensible alternative to this release.
