Klymaxx - Greatest Hits (1996)

All-female band formed in 1979 by producer/drummer Bernadette Cooper, guitarist Cheryl Cooley and keyboard player Lynn Malsby. The original lead vocalists were Lorena Porter Shelby and Joyce "Fenderella" Irby, who later left for a solo career. In 1990, the group became a trio, with Shelby, guitarist Cheryl Cooley, and keyboardist Robbin Grider. "I Miss You" was a major hit for the band in 1985.

A straightforward ten-track overview, Greatest Hits – released in 1996 – contains all the major material from Klymaxx's MCA albums (1984's Meeting in the Ladies Room, 1986's Klymaxx, and 1990's The Maxx Is Back). It's all a casual fan needs, at least when it comes to covering the group's third through fifth albums. All the significant A-sides, such as "The Men All Pause," "I Miss You," "Meeting in the Ladies Room," "I'd Still Say Yes," and "Good Love," are included. Unfortunately, this doesn't contain anything from the group's first two albums, both of which were released on Solar. At the very least, this could use "Wild Girls," an early and underappreciated single produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
