Love Collection Reviews:
Misleading label
2005-05-15 - This is nothing more than the Livin' It Up CD and the If You Ain't Lovin', You Ain't Livin' CD combined into a different package. Be careful.....

TOTAL RIP OFF
2005-05-02 - The outside is very misleading. This is actually two older cds that were obviously laying around some warehouse that MCA repackaged. No remastering no nothing, just old cds. There are similar "Love collections" out recently with other country artists so buyers beware!!!

Just a reissue of two earlier discs
2005-04-28 - The only reason I gave it 5 stars was because it's George Strait, and I can't stand to see him get a bad rating. But these cds are just "If You Ain't Lovin You Ain't Livin" and "Livin It Up" with a different cd cover. Don't blame George for this, Universal did this, he's with MCA, he had nothing to do with this. If you want these cds, go get the originals, don't buy this, if you do, they will just keep reissuing different cds.

GEORGE IS INSULTING HIS FANS
2005-04-18 - I cannot believe George and Universal are doing YET another greatest hits package it is now up to FIVE in the past year. And it is the WORST of them all. A "Love Collection" without "Cross My Heart", "Check Yes Or No", "Home Improvement", or "Ocean Front Property" is an insult. Excuse me, GS and Univeral must be on Mars, if they think I would even consider buying this piece of garbage. It is very simple, go get "Strait Out Of The Box" 50 Strait Hits, or ANY individual CD (Except maybe the self titled CD), and you could get better music. "Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy" is the WORST GS song EVER, and just about every song on this CD is second tier GS except "I've Come To Expect It From You" and "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin). I could create a better "Love Collection CD on my own, with about 15 minutes worth of thought behind it. You may not find a bigger GS in NY then me, but I am tired of GS insulting his fans.

I love George Strait, but this is a reissue of 2 old Cds
2005-04-08 - Now, I would like to say that the "Love Collection" that the record company has so aptly called it, is nothing more than 2 CDs from George's late 80s and early 90s. When I opened up the CD, I found the old style of MCA reissued CDs, and looked at the title on Disc 1...yes, if you have seen it, you will notice they didn't even stamp "Disc 1" on the CD. Instead, the title reads: "If You Ain't Lovin', You Ain't Livin'" a 1988 release...and the 2nd Disc is George's 1990 Release "Livin' It Up".

I am a little hot under the collar on this one. I mean, don't get this review wrong as a bashing of an artist...this is just a warning to future buyers who may already have the other 2 CDs.
