Original Bad Company Anthology Review.......2007-06-14

I have always loved Bad Company's music. This CD has all of their best songs. "Seagull" is their greatest song.

Needs Better Remastering..........2007-06-11

Nothing wrong with the songlist but this set disappointed me with its mixing. I found it very flat and lacking THE PUNCH needed to kick a**...I gather that the original Bad Co. masters were not in tremendous shape, but if Jimmy Page had stepped in and helped to remix the old Bad Co. as well as he remixed Led Zeppelin - this might have been stunning stuff. But that would have probably taken some time. I'm almost tempted to say go seek out the vinyl and enjoy that...I hope someone somewhere will find a way to improve this mix. Nice booklet though.

"Must Have" for Bad Co fans.......2007-01-14

Short and sweet...this anthology is comprised of the greatest works of one of the greatest bands in Rock & Roll...it is worth every penny

Rock n Roll not watered down.......2006-11-10

Singer Paul Rodgers in his prime was arguably the best voice ever
in rock. At present he is still pretty damn good. The band was productive in a time when men were not afraid to be men and rock and the keep it
simple yet up tempo power rock style is evident in the songs.

Bands today too often forget to save the drama for high school drama
class. There is too much fluff and not enough raw power and power chord structure. Bad Co. never forgot the pleasure of having a few drinks, turning the amp up to 11 and just letting the rock do the talking. The
combination of a solid Bad Co. bottom end, a great drummer and Rodgers
pool hall guy enthusiasm just plain works.

Poor man's Zeppelin.......2006-09-06

This collection, the "Original Bad Company Anthology," is the one to get if you're looking for a perfect overview of this famous band. Born in the era when rock music was getting down to "business," you know, well crafted "connect-the-dots" rock, but fortunately, this is pretty good overall, for being a poor man's Led Zeppelin. Also, this anthology really delivers with a good choice of tunes and amazing digital-remaster sound quality on two semi-packed CD's. I don't know if I needed two packed discs, so no complaints. Disc one is much stronger than disc two by a long shot, but still pretty enjoyable overall.

The four "new" songs at the end of disc two are alright, but forgettable. Apparently it's hard for an old band to come up with something new and really good in the modern era of rock. Only Deep Purple has been able to do this in my opinion. Actually, I'd love to see a two disc anthology like this one, for the classic Deep Purple lineup. After all, they are one of the biggies. Case closed!

As for this collection, I didn't mind too much that the later Bad Company albums were skimmed over, if you know what I mean. Nice job there. Enjoy it with a few beers and whatever you can find to inhale.
