Which comp is this? Doesn't have "Mirage" or "Sweet Cherry Wine."
Voting for "Crimson and Clover" over "Crystal Blue Persuasion" and "I Think We're Alone Now."
Also really, really love "Do Something to Me" and "Out of the Blue."

Sentimental vote here for Crimson and Clover, which my girlfriend (now wife) dressed up as in a duo Halloween costume 10 years ago, me as clover and her in head to toe crimson satin and tulle. Totally top notch group, the deep cuts are bananas as much as the hits.

Three towering masterpieces:
1. "Crimson and Clover"2. "Crystal Blue Persuasion"3. "Draggin' the Line"
Also keep a Tommy solo song called "Meet the Comer," one of those early-'70s Jesus songs, on my hard-drive. Not that big on the hockey-arena stuff.

I think I voted for “I Think We’re Alone Now.” Used to know a guy who played bass for him. Tommy told him, I believe regarding the bass break in “Crimson and Clover”: “You gotta play that right or you’re fired.”Speaking of Morris Levy, I highly recommend Tommy’s memoir for an in-depth look at the guy and that side of the business.

Approve of "Hanky Panky"/"Mony Mony" at zero. "Crystal Blue Persuasion" used well in Zodiac...I always notice it; truthfully, right now, I don't remember details. (Maybe in the bar Downey drags Gyllenhaal to?)

0 for "Ball of Fire"?!??!? I didn't vote for it either though. The question surely is why isn't "Sweet Cherry Wine" on this greatest hits album? Or "Mirage". Or "She".

Alone among Tommy James singles I despise "Crystal Blue Persuasion".
