AMG Review of Legendary

Andy Kellman
All Music Guide

An Australian release through BMG in 2002, Legendary offers more Pointer Sisters than most people could ever need, spreading plenty of highlights and extended mixes across three jam-packed discs. The focus here is on the Pointers' material released from the late '70s on through to the mid-'80s, with all of the big hits ("Neutron Dance," "Jump," "Fire," "He's So Shy," "Slow Hand," "Automatic") scrambled with okay-to-decent album cuts and several extended versions of cuts that are also provided in radio-edit and album-edit formats. This isn't complete enough to be recommended to hardcore fans, and it sure isn't the best way to go for those with a casual interest -- there are plenty of decent one-disc jobs that take care of that.
