Navigating Van Morrison's extensive catalog since 1993 is a formidable task even diehard fans might not want to attempt. The Irish icon has flirted with blues, jazz, country, pop, Celtic, and his own style of indescribable into-the-mystic spiritually-oriented poetic folk on his numerous releases, making for quite a thorny culling assignment. So the EMI brass were probably ecstatic when the singer took the job himself. He weeds through a dozen or so albums released since Volume 2's mile-marker, and adds a clutch of previously unavailable mixes, rarities, and live tracks. The result: a nearly two-and-a-half-hour, 31-track double-disc set as sprawling, eclectic, and tenacious as Morrison's vision and discography. From occasionally rambling but spirited duets with veterans Bobby "Blue" Bland, Junior Wells, Georgie Fame, Lonnie Donegan, B.B. King, the Chieftains, Ray Charles, and even Tom Jones to concert versions of hits such as "Moondance" and an impressive take on Sinatra's classic "That's Life," along with hidden gems like "Steal My Heart Away," this is a beautifully assembled and sequenced collection. It presents most of this multitalented auteur's facets and softens his often crusty exterior by showing his appreciation for the journeymen that helped develop the trail that Morrison then blazed in his own distinctive style. --Hal Horowitz
Album Description
The new 2-CD collection, compiled by Morrison himself, offers a comprehensive overview of his later material. The set's 31 tracks include previously unreleased collaborations with Tom Jones and Bobby Bland, as well as duets with John Lee Hooker, B.B. King and Ray Charles.
Customer Reviews:
So good only Van could have picked the songs.......2007-07-31
You either love or hate Van the Man. Over 40 years he has given the world some of the most heartfelt beautiful music ever recorded. This best of provides a stunning glimpse into the breath and depth of what he is capable of delivering. Showing respect to those who came before him, this collection is absolutely outstanding from start to finish. In the hands of the recording company this offering could have been a diaster. Thanks Van for giving us your gems for this collection.
great new album.......2007-07-24
I was excited to hear that Van had out a new album. I've been a huge fan since the 70's.(that's dating myself, isn't it). This album is a nice mix of music and includes some duets with other artists. I'd like to see some brand new music from Van, but this one is great.
Great Value.......2007-07-23
This is a 2 disc CD with lots of great songs. I really like the mix of songs and definitely recommend this to Van Morrison fans.
Great selection.......2007-07-12
I won't call this definitive, but the collection's got some previously unreleased and seldom heard numbers that merit the price and hype. This is a very listenable CD that's something you can just stick in the changer and let it play. Definitely worth the money.
Continuing writers block.......2007-07-10
Despite having most of this already I paid out my money and what did I get? A reasonable overview with some obscurities, one of which "Blue and Green" is worth the cost on its own. While the music is all first class the compiling has created some jarring between tracks. I've always loved The Skiffle Sessions album but Lost John between Leaves Come Falling Down and Tupelo Honey sounds bizarre. Nearly all the tracks he has re-recorded are done better in their original incarnation and one gets the feeling that with this, the movie "best of" and the country abomination Pay The Devil before them that he has nothing to say at present. I love Morrison's music and sincerely hope there is more of it to come, its now been a fair number of years since there has been an album of original material and he is overdue for his muse to return.

No other Otis compilation quite satisfies the way the old double-LP best-of does, but never mind: any way you hear Redding's many great moments is a good one. The Very Best splits ballads and up-tempo stuff half-and-half, letting you hear the great one's humanity in every mood--the pile-driving rock of "Respect," the preaching fervor of "Try a Little Tenderness," the nascent reflection of "Dock of the Bay." A record collection with no Otis is a poor thing: here's yours. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews:
the very best of otis redding vol 1.......2007-05-12
The material brought me back to the late sixties 1968, with memories of his death, December of that year and the coming out of the Beatles White album that same month. It has been a long time since a performer was of his ilk.
One of the greats of soul .......2007-03-21
Otis Redding was one of the greats of soul. He was taken early at the age of twenty- six in a plane crash just three days after recording the song which would be his first number one on the charts, 'Sittin on the Dock of the Bay' That tremendous song is here. It has so much both in its lyric quality and the gripping power of its music. These are its lyrics" I heard it first many years ago and it has been playing in my mind ever since.
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cos I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
[...]
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
2000 miles I've roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh wee, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
There are also other outstanding works here. Redding reportedly did not want to do 'Try a Little Tenderness' but his version is an original and strong one.
The grainy coarseness of his voice was nonetheless lyrical, catching and upbeat in its way.
This is 'Soul Music ' at its best.
CAN'T BE BEAT!!.......2007-01-10
Otis Redding is another of the "great voices" of the past!! His music is unforgettable!! And it's "superb"!! You can't go wrong with this CD...I'll bring you alot of joy & relaxation!! Try it...you'll like it - Guaranteed!!
If you like Otis, you'll love this!.......2007-01-10
So many times I see movies and love the music; only to find out it is Otis Redding. This cd has his best, and you will recognize virtually every song. I love it.
Otis at his best.......2006-11-05
I have always liked Otis Redding. When I listened to the sample tracks on Amazon, I knew that I had to have this CD. It is timeless and I can listen to it and Al Green, over and over. Buy it.

Experience Hendrix brings together the major singles with a stack of majestic album tracks and the career-defining live Woodstock version of "The Star Spangled Banner" on a fat 20-tracker. While best used as a sampler to direct new listeners to the immortal Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, and so on, the CD (which supplants the short-lived Ultimate Experience collection) does hang together as a listen. Its blend of Hendrix the rocker and Hendrix the underrated soul man is suggestive, painting a picture of a multifaceted genius and transcending its plainly mercenary origins. In the end, its effect--like that of all Hendrix's best records--is to remind us of a Jimi very, very much alive. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:
Whole Hendrix.......2007-07-02
An excellent Hendrix compilation. All of the famous stuff still played on the radio is on here, as well as lesser-knowns. Definitely get this if a Hendrix fan. 20 tracks, over an hour of music. Great value.
Jimi Hendrix: A man whose spirit and music is immortal........2007-06-17
I don't know why I didn't review this album a long time ago. Jimi Hendrix is one of the greatest artists in rock music, and the greatest guitarist of all time. He wasn't the fastest, but his music revolutionized so much music, and in the small amount of time he was around, as well. "Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix" is an essential piece of rock and roll. It's very accessable, literally in every store I've been in, and it only goes for ten dollars.
On this 20-song compilation, you get such popular tracks as "Purple Haze", "Fire", and Jimi's highest-charter, the timeless, Bob Dylan cover "All Along The Watchtower". Of course, Jimi was influenced by a variety of music, as he shows in the incredible blues stylings of "Red House" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return"). You have such trippy songs as the soul-influenced "Crosstown Traffic", a personal favorite, the somewhat-dirty and ever-groovy "Foxey Lady", the brilliant masterpiece, "If 6 Was 9" and the "it's-so-trippy-I-don't-know-what-to-say" work of art that is "Bold As Love". Then there's the eternal beauty of "Little Wing", the funky, post-humous, "Dolly Dagger" and his immortal genius of the Woodstock recording of "Star Spangled Banner". Of course, there are more than that, but this just goes to show what a musician Jimi Hendrix was!
All in all, an excellent collection that should belong in every classic rock fan's library. After this, you might wanna check out "Band of Gypsys", as it shows Jimi's stunning live work. Although artists like Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Led Zeppelin may stir controversy, I always believe that it's what you personally think of the music. And I, for one, believe Jimi Hendrix's music is timeless, awesome and extremely influential. Hope you all love this one, peace!
Really Good Album.......2007-05-31
Well i bought this album and i was very happy and overjoyed when i bought this off amazon! Frikin Best Hendrix album!!

With her exotic beauty and steamy voice, Sade couldn't help but be a star. Taking the more sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, and R&B, Sade scored major hits with the continental feel of "Smooth Operator" and the sultry stylization of "Your Love Is King." Her voice was often criticized for being thin, yet she made it work to her advantage with songs like the haunting "Jezebel," on which her delivery added the vulnerability necessary to the song. Sade sounded best when she stuck to the lower register, and there is nothing thin about her dynamic handling of her torch song "Is It a Crime." "The Sweetest Taboo" was one of her last great moments before years of mediocrity, chronicled here by the lifeless "Stronger Than Pride" and the limp "Nothing Can Come Between Us." "No Ordinary Love" was a return to form with the smoky richness back in her vocals and the urban/island feel of her first release. Best of Sade goes right up to her hit "Pearls," which, remixed, became a dance floor hit. The nicest surprise here is "Please Send Me Someone to Love," with Sade proving that although her range may be limited vocally, she doesn't suffer the same fate artistically. --Steve Gdula

Sincerely,
Vicki B. Holton
the best of Sade.......2007-05-13
I got this because of one of the Songs "Love is stronger than pride" that got my curiosity, but the singer was disappointing and the songs too. She sings like a robot and has no mentionable range. I donated the cd to the local library. The shipping and price were, as usual, perfect, no problem in that area.
Great Music.......2007-05-12
Sade is one the most enjoyable music artist out there. She has a style of music all her own. I was glad I bought the CD. You will too.

Hall and Oates often enlivened '70s and '80s radio with sharp pop concoctions that drew on a wellspring of R&B influences picked up in their hometown of Philadelphia. They scored frequently enough, in fact, that this 20-track collection--intended to supplement or replace the earlier Rock 'n Soul, Part 1 with post-'83 winners--doesn't capture all their finest moments. (Where, for instance, are "She's Gone," recorded for another label but licensed by RCA for Rock 'n' Soul, and the terrific new wave/funk fusion "Your Imagination"?) Still, much of what's here is fine music that should appeal not only to those who carry fond memories of radio and MTV playing it the first time around, but also to a good-sized handful of their kids. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews:
Crappy sound =(.......2007-03-08
I bought 2 copies of this same CD. Both of them, while providing the Hall & Oates songs that I love, gave me no real enjoyment because for some reason the sound is very empty. I've heard mp3s that sound better than this. What happened??
Very good.......2007-01-12
This CD has a lot of the songs I remember from the '80s. It's a good collection of Hall & Oates songs.
CD Review.......2007-01-04
I loved this album because It reminds me of my high schol dances. It was all I thought it would be when I ordered it.
Super.......2006-08-24
Great job, very fast with zero complaints. Will continue to do business with them.
Private Eyes... Are Watching You..........2006-08-20
I don't care if you can't listen to this album in public for fear of being ridiculed, it is fantastic. Hall and Oates are at the top of their game on this compilation CD. If you don't (and probably shouldn't) want to buy all of the Hall & Oates albums and just want to load this music on your MP3 player - this is perfect. Just perfect. Buy it, and watch out boys... she'll chew you up. JVD

Not to be mistaken with Bill Withers's Greatest Hits or even the 1994 best-of with which it shares its name, Lean on Me nevertheless shares much with those two earlier retrospectives--notably the likes of such '70s soul-pop gems as the title track, "Ain't No Sunshine," "Lovely Day," and "Use Me." Like the earlier Lean on Me, this remastered selection includes 18 tracks, 13 of which overlap with the '94 set. Withers's oeuvre is something less than expansive: he recorded 10 albums for Sussex and Columbia between 1971 and 1985, then gracefully exited the business with three top 10 hits to his credit. The singer's warm vocals and wise lyrics have held up splendidly through the years, making him a likely candidate for periodic rediscovery. This anthology stands as the title of choice for the next wave of soul fans Withers wins over. --Steven Stolder

You've heard virtually every song on this album -- many are absolute classics -- even if you've never heard of Bill Withers. This is a must-have addition to your music collection. Uplifting, moving rhythms with harmonious lyrics. From blues to jazz to R&B to mellow ballads -- great music, beautifully delivered.
Decent pick.......2007-03-15
I got the CD for one song, but there are several nice songs on the CD.
Good product...timely delivery.......2007-01-10
This item is available at few places. Needed to gift someone! Our friend loved it!
Review of Lean on Me-Best of Bill Withers.......2007-01-04
Wanted the classic track "Ain't no sunshine" and hoped naively for more of the same on this album but got only dated soul as honestly expected. 5 Stars are deserved just for that one track.

Radio Edits? You've got to be kidding!.......2007-07-26
With a two CD set, there should be no radio edits. In fact, the CD doesn't say so on the back cover. It's only after you start playing the CDs, or load them into I-tunes, that you find out. What a rip off!
There is simply no excuse for not including the full version of the songs listed. None!
This mars what could have been a fantastic collection over two CDs.
Superb!.......2007-05-13
This double CD set is one of the best greatest hits compilations I've heard in a long time. If you want Doobies to listen to and don't know what CD to throw on, get this one. You have all the hits and more right here. A must for any Doobies fan!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Collection!.......2007-04-25
Since I moved abroad and needed to rebuild my cd collection, the Doobies were a big gap. This collection goes a long way to filling that gap. My iPod has been set to play this almost continually the last week. It captures the variety of styles that the Doobies encompassed, from the California folk rock beginnings to the jazzier, rockier Michael MacDonald era.
All the hits, not enough of the misses.......2007-03-19
Without saying so, what this 2-CD set includes is every Billboard chart single the Doobie Brothers ever notched - something no other album (except their boxed set) can boast. That means that 'Very Best Of' collects songs like 'Eyes Of Silver' (#52, 1974), 'I Cheat The Hangman' (#60, 1975), and 'Wheels Of Fortune' (#87, 1976) that were never included on similar previous collections. It even picks up 'Wynken Blynken and Nod' (#76, 1981) from the Sesame Street LP 'In Harmony.' And, two key non-hits ('Rockin' Down The Highway' and 'South City Midnight Lady') get tossed in, plus some stuff from the group's latter day albums.
What you don't get are enough of the Doobies' great album tracks like 'Spirit' (1974) or 'Nothin' But A Heartache' (1977). For those, you'll need to upgrade to the boxed set - which nevertheless omits 'Without You,' a perennial favorite previously included on 'Best Of The Doobies' and 'Greatest Hits.' Go figure....
Listen to all of the music.......2007-03-18
The Doobie Brothers started out life as a greasy California biker band and took their name after a fondness for getting high. That ethic led to big riff rockers like "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin'," but was lacking in the eventual slick sophistication of Michael McDonald's urbane soul. The original 1976 "Best Of The Doobies" included songs up to "Taking It To The Street," which meant that the number one "What A Fool Believes" was after the cut off date. This time The Doobie Brothers recognize the debut album a year before "Toulouse Street" by including one song, the acoustically flavored "Nobody."
Once McDonald joined, the band entered a second era and began to move more towards urban soul and Steely Dan jazz. Tom Johnston split after "Living On The Faultline" over the Doobies' new direction with Jeff Baxter and McDonald, and the resulting "Minute By Minute" bore little resemblance to the mellow hippy-vibes of "Rocking Down The Highway."
What this CD does is successfully chronicle both Johnston's biker bar band and McDonald's more soul dominated period. When the Doobies broke up after "One Step Closer," it put the band on ice until a 1989 Doobie Brothers reunion that yielded "Cycles" and a hit in "The Doctor." The band soldiered on minus McDonald, which meant that Johnston and Patrick Simmons were able to regain the steering wheel and make bar-band riff-rock once more. (Even if - IMHO - "Cycles" was pedestrian and "Brotherhood" worse, but "Sibling Rivalry" is OK.)
For my money, this double CD rates a full star over the 1976 set by virtue of the extra songs post "Taking It To The Streets" and remastered sound. But then again, I totally lost interest in the band when they started churning out factory made classic rock like "The Doctor." You will also get a few essential songs dropped from both single disc sets, like "Eyes Of Silver" and "Another Park Another Sunday" (the original A-Side of "Black Water"), and the two-disc set recognizes once again that "South City Midnight Lady" is one of the band's best. Short of the Rhino box-set, this is a solid representation of the Doobies.

Van Morrison reputedly wasn't crazy about the idea of a greatest-hits package, and this set's haphazard programming--which leaps from period to period, style to style, tossing in two key singles by his mid-'60s band Them--speaks to his lack of involvement. Still, it rivals Moondance as Morrison's most popular album, and for a reason: like that classic, it offers one deeply soulful, spiritually and musically thoughtful track after another. Much of his more "difficult" work is ignored here; in fact, Best of... gives us an intriguing picture of a Van who's almost eager to please. --Rickey Wright
Album Description

Van Morrison has boldly followed his own musical path since the '60s and this compilation proves that he has the talent to match his own vision.

Universal. * Please note this version is not remastered.
Customer Reviews:
Van the man..........2007-06-22
There's no organization to the music on this cd which has always been one of the great joys of a Van Morrison release where one song seems to lead to another and the sound as a whole is like listening to one inspiring arrangement but even with that in mind this collection is wonderful. Rather then having one large spiritual experience, you get 20 small spiritual miracles. Because to me, Van's music has always been so full of soul it is like a spiritual ride.
Always a writer of songs ...it's raining and i have this on..........2007-01-27
These are awesome..good album.
I like them as much as Philosopher's Stone, In the Midnight, Precious Time, Back on Top, When the Leaves Come Falling Down.....Rain check, These Dreams of You, Golden Autumn Day, Reminds Me of You, High Summer....opps there is my favorites list.
I'd recommend listening to Van. He's a poet. He's able to say what I'm thinking. And I'm going to see him one day because I have a ticket to go to an upcoming concert....like his concerts.Glad he comes to LA. So this is just a CD to get me in the mind frame. But even without that I'd listen to these. I guess I can IPOD my favorites now....
WONDERFUL.......2006-11-10
This is my favorite CD ever. I have bought it for many friends as gifts, and they all love it! He is the best!
Almost perfect.......2006-08-14
I had this disc once before and it was stolen. Loved it so much I had to buy it again. I wish it cotained Tupelo Honey and Into the Mystic. Other than that I love this disc . I recommend this to anyone. Whether you are a big fan or just only know a couple of his songs. Lively and uplifting. Great for traffic jams.
Wondering why they call this guy Van the Man?.......2006-07-15
Then you obviously don't own this CD. Fix that sometime soon. Any album with Brown Eyed Girl and a bunch of crappy songs is still worth a purchase, but you get lots more: Three good songs by Them (garage-band anthem Gloria, Baby Please Don't Go, Here Comes the Night) and several great songs by Van himself: the aforementioned Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Thing, Moondance, And It Stoned Me, Domino, Jackie Wilson Said, Cleaning Windows and the previously-unreleased Wonderful Remark especially stand out, though there's more.
Still, it's not perfect. I don't care how popular Have I Told You Lately is, I don't like it. In my mind it's a sap-fest from someone who isn't really sappy. Same with Queen of the Slipstream. Get rid of these two, as well as Dweller on the Threshold and Warm Love. Swap in Madame George and Caravan. Then you'll have the true Best of Van Morrison.

Wonderful CD.......2007-05-06
Booker T & the MG's is one of my favorite groups. I've always thought their music is like combining the church organ with Clapton. I only wish they were doing more live work so that fans like myself could see them more. But since they aren't, this is a nice substitute.
Classic rythmn and bl,ues.......2007-02-12
I was reminded of this music and went on the internet and bought it on your site. Awesome music. Good condition and received promptly.
Classic.......2007-01-11
Green Onions and Chinese Checkers are enough reason to buy the CD. Both are classic songs that'll get you to say, "Hey, I like that song, but never knew what it was" - without the lyrics, you just don't know... As one of the great Memphis Sun Studios era backup bands, you've heard them play before, now listen to their sounds. The songs aren't completely original (even Green Onions owes homage to John Lee Hooker's Onions which came out roughly the same time) and the sound isn't wholey unfamiliar (you've heard them before as backup, you just don't know it) but the music is wholey fantastic. Pass another side of those Onions...
My favorite for all times..........2006-08-24
The sound of Hammond embraces you at the first moment and the tune elevates you from your seat in seconds.. Definitely superb...
As a classic of decades, Green Onions is my No.1 road hit...
Rhythm Section 101.......2005-09-13
Oh, how I wish 30 years ago when I was a young keyboardist I had been listening to these guys instead of prog rock. Like a basketball team that plays as a single unit instead of a jumble of one-on-one games, each member of Booker T & the MG's added one-quarter of the whole sound, with no one trying to be the star (even though each was capable of being just that). Anyone who wants to be a serious student of any rhythm section instrument, whether you're playing jazz, R&B, rock or whatever, should listen to these guys religiously and learn that it's not what you put in that matters, it's what you leave out. Listen to them by themselves, and then listen to them backing Sam and Dave, Wilson Pickett and especially Otis Redding, it doesn't get any better than that.
Memphis soul is some of the most exciting music ever recorded, one of America's most important contributions to 20th century music, and Booker T & the MG's single-handedly defined the sound.

Although their first album appeared in the early '60s, it was with 1975's "They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)" that the Spinners really got moving. They emerged as one of the poppiest of the '70s soul bands, which cost them dearly in credibility. But their best songs were stunning--and by the time original vocalist Philippe Wynne left the group, in 1977, they'd racked up enough successes to stuff a greatest-hits package from top to bottom. Atlantic's 1978 "Best of the Spinners" LP was that package, although this release augments it with later hits like "Working My Way Back to You" and "Cupid." Another anthology package, a double-CD released by Atlantic Records, packs in even more, but the essentials are all here. --Gavin McNett

Great collection of one of the best soul groups ever!.......2007-05-27
This is by far the best and cheapest 1 disc collection of The Spinners incredible Discography that I have ever seen, and the inside booklet also includes a nice little narraration of the group themselves.
Where to start with The Spinners themselves? They are incredible, and thru-out quite a few personnel changes they still kept there essance.
If you purchase this, expect to hear a talented gifted lead singer, with a crew of equally talented singers backing him up. Expect Dense instrumentation, much more dense, and plush than most of the Music of this genre at the time. Production wise it pulls influence from both Soul, and Disco, which is an interesting combo, because I hate disco but like Soul, and I LOVE this.
Lyrically they are solid too. The songwriters for The Spinners were in the background, but should not be treated second rate. They had skill... Expect most of the songs to be love songs, but there is other topics. I enjoy the interesting Social Commentary on Poverty and the effect it can have on a childs self esteem on "Ghetto Child".
Simply put, this is a must have for a true Music Collector, or lover. Cop this.
STANDOUT TRACKS:
Quite honestly, sense this is a greatest hits of a great group, I can't choose... Every track is a beuitiful peice of art.
Great if You Only Want One Disc of The Spinners Music.......2007-03-30
I ordered this for my mom. She loves the whole disc thus 5 stars. This is for those who only want one disc of The Spinners very best songs. For these wanting more, get "Definitive Soul", their 2-disc greatest hits which came out (also from Rhino) last year.
Excellent compilation of a great vocal Soul group! .......2007-03-06
Hey, if you never tried to consider Soul music as REAL GOOD MUSIC, give a try to this Spinners' compilation. These guys will make you fall in love with real, good Soul music. Be sure of it!
The Very Best of the Spinners.......2007-01-15
These are great tunes done in the particular "Philly" style that we loved then and still do - amazing really how timely they still are - but, maybe I'm just "stuck" in my younger years - still fun. Plus, the Spinners didn't have too much else (to my knowledge) but this is the best.
The Best of the Spinners- The Best of Motown!!.......2007-01-03
Anyone who loves Motown music MUST have this in their collection!! It really does feature the very best of the Spinners, without a doubt one of the finest groups to come out of Motown. Their harmonies never disappoint and every song makes you want to dance. Buy it today!!!
