4. Voices Of Babylon (1989)
“Like all their other fans, I can’t believe that this band wasn’t more popular than they were. They’re quite possibly the best pop-rock band around… or they were. Play Deep is the essence of the Outfield sound. Power pop at its best with the emphasis on power.”
3. Big Innings: The Best Of The Outfield (1996)
“Very complete collection of songs from a nearly forgotten, but unforgettable band. This CD include 3 unreleased tracks, 2 movie soundtrack song, and all 8 of their Billboard charing songs including Voices Of Babylon, For You, Your Love, Since You’ve Been Gone, and All The Love In tHe World (listed on this Cd as just All The Love). As with most greatest hits collection there is always one or two songs the should have been included (Bangin’ On My Heart and No Surrender). But in all a great CD from a great “feel good” band.”

2. Bangin’ (1986)
“My favourite songs on this CD are, “No Surrender” (hence the title of my review), “Long Way Home” and of course the famous classic single from this album, “Since You’ve Been Gone”. Having taken the challenge to tackle their multi-platinum bestseller deput “Play Deep”, one is relieved that there is, “No Surrender” with this magnificent band!”
1. Play Deep (1985)
“It certainly was their most popular fielding their only top 10 hit, “Your Love”. But in my opinion, “Voices of Babylon” is slightly better and “Bangin'” is equally as good. Am I saying don’t get this album? Absolutely not. This is one of their best containing great tracks like “Say It Isn’t So”, “Every Time Your Cry”, “All the Love” and of course, “Your Love”. This is a great album. I’m suggesting that you get their first three albums along with “Rockeye”. Trust me, you won’t be sorry.”
