Amazon.com essential recording

The voice of Edith Piaf carries with it perhaps more national identity than that of any other recorded artist in the world. Tiny, frail, and tragic in her life, Piaf brought French identity to the rest of the world in a way that was understandable to all. Known as "the Little Sparrow" in her country, her voice was strong, bold, and passionate, even as she grew more infirm. The archetypical torch singer, she had massive popular success with songs like "Milord," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," and "La Vie, L'Amour," included here with 18 other classics. While this is a great compilation of some of her best material, the complete lack of enclosed notes or biographical material may frustrate those not familiar with her fascinating career. However, the work of one of the most original songbirds of all time speaks loud and clear for itself. --Derek Rath

Customer Reviews:

The more you listen, the more you love.......2007-08-02

I have been a fan of Edith Piaf for about 15 years when I first "discovered" her. Although I have been to visit her grave in Paris some time ago, for some strange reason I had not personally purchased her music until now. The more I listen to this CD, the more fascinated I have become - her voice and the sheer power of it is so poigniant! Listening to her while driving my convertible on a lovely summer evening is just the best. I have purchased this CD to send to my son who is in the military, a multiple time Iraq veteran and recently commissioned officer - he speaks fluent French and I have told him that altho I know he will understand the words much better than I do, there is no mistaking the sentiment and meaning of every song she sings. I highly recommend this CD!

Excellent Selections of Her Recordings.......2007-07-26

This Edith Piaf collection is great. She recorded a tremendous amount of music. This CD captures the best of her recordings.

She said about her singing better than anyone ever would,.......2007-07-17

"For me, singing is a way of escaping. It is another world. I'm no longer on earth." When I hear her singing, I am no longer in my world, I am in the world of music, love, passion, irony and humor, breaking hearts and smiles through the tears, love found and lost forever but never in the world of regrets. She always looked the life in the eye and she regretted nothing. She was a small woman (1 m 42 cm) with the greatest, strongest, and most recognizable voice around the globe. Her voice with the "r" rolled in such manner that it would make your spine to vibrate, effortlessly takes you out of your realty to the place and time that have long gone but will be forever alive in her songs, "La vie en rose, "Milord," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," "C'est L'Amour (It's Love), and many more. "The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf" delivers the promises of its title, its 18 songs are among the best and most famous of Edith Piaf but they are just a little part of the singer's body of work which spans over almost 30 years and includes hundreds of songs, over 80 of which she had composed herself.

"The little sparrow" ,Edith Piaf sings her best hits!.......2007-06-26

This Cd has all of Edith's best known hits, sung by "the little sparrow" herself.

The re-recordings are quite excellent....well done....smooth and crisp.

The songs are well chosen and nicely arranged in sequence.

Edith`s voice sounds as good as ever in this BEST HITS Cd.

A fantastic compilation.......2007-06-23

Edith Piaf's voice is like no others. It is husky yet brash, sultry and deep. Hearing this music takes you to another place. She was a fantastic singer with a wonderful low range a great cd.

Frankie is the Best!.......2007-07-25

There is nothing in this world like the range of Frankie Valli's voice and this CD captures that range. Known for his 3 octaves of precision, I am constantly amazed at how he hits those high notes. The CD is a compilation of all his greatest hits that will keep you singing for hours and hours...but don't ever expect to hit those notes like Frankie does!

Worth the Money and Best Songs Ever.......2007-07-19

This product was worth buying if your into 60's music. I like the product and the music very good.

Great CD.......2007-07-17

Every song on this CD is great especially after seeing Jersey Boys you will be listening to this CD over and over again. I highly recommened it.

Great compilation CD.......2007-07-16

This CD is a great overview of the best hits of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Alot of great and familiar songs like Sherry, December 1963, Big Girls Don't Cry, etc. CD art has great pictures and a history of the group. There are also 3-4 songs done by Frankie Valli as a solo artist, like the popular song "Grease". If you like Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons or you're just beccoming interested in them, this is a great CD to have.

Brings back the good times..........2007-07-15

If you have fond memories of the 60's, and even if you don't, this music will make you sing! These songs were in the foreground and the background of our lives in those simpler times. I saw "Jersey Boys" on Broadway and this brings back that incredible sentimental journey back.
Listen and smile.

The cynic may question just how many Beach Boys greatest hits albums are enough. Everyone else, however, will appreciate what makes Sounds of Summer unique. This is the first single-disc collection to feature such a large cross section of hits from the group's entire career, spanning 1962's "Surfin' Safari" through 1988's "Kokomo." All 30 tracks, spanning several label changes, were Billboard Top 40 hits and are probably now as identifiable as the national anthem to anyone with radio or TV access. The fact that the tracks aren't in chronological order helps make for a fresh listening experience, as does the crisp digital sound. And yet these songs--even those that are more than four decades old--always sound strangely fresh and will likely remain so as long as there are beaches, young people, and that symbolic season of freedom and dreams. Which is to say that the title here passes the "truth in advertising" test. Perfect for those casual fans not yet ready to spring for the individual albums, Sounds of Summer is in many ways a better representation of this legendary band's art than Elvis' 30 No. 1 Hits and The Beatles 1 were of the King and the Fab Four. --Bill Holdship

Customer Reviews:

The Beach Boys get their 1.......2007-08-04

We have the Beatles to thank for the Elvis Presley 30 # 1 hits and now the Beach Boys Sounds of Summer. That's fine by me because this is the best Beach Boys compilation I've seen. It covers all the Top 40 hits, including slightly obscure hits like "Do It Again" and "Darlin," which at least I never hear on the radio.

The CD isn't chronological, but consists of mini-sets like three Pet Sounds songs in a row, a few surfing songs in a row, and so on. The harmonies sound brilliant and the songs still hold up 40 years later; even Kokomo sounds good in this context, and that's nothing to sneeze at. If, like me, you lack a Beach Boys greatest hits, then this is certainly the one to get. The remastering sounds wonderful and brings out the harmonies. Listen with headphones!

The Very Best of the Beach Boys.......2007-07-27

We loved the CD. We had been looking for a good collection and we found it. Loved the price too!

Summer music is here --- again!.......2007-06-14

These are summer classics and to hear them again is a such a joy! It brings you back to the 60's (for those of us who remember the 60's). I bet the young people of today would get a kick out of listening to a pristine version of Surfin' USA, I Get Around, and some of the other classics.

Don't Worry, Baby is a personal favorite but it's the mono version. However, listening to it on a nice set of speakers makes it sound like it's in stereo. I would have liked "Warmth of the Sun" included in this collection but hey, 30 of the best Beach Boys songs on one CD, I'm not complaining!

The perfect Beach Boys collection for casual fans.......2007-06-14

Casual fans will find this to be the ultimate collection of the Beach Boys music as it contains all of the band's top 40 hits. 30 classic tunes from 1962 all the way to 1988 are here on a single CD with top-notch sound quality, rare photos of the band, and a nice essay inside the CD booklet. All of the early surf classics that everyone knows are presented along with lesser-known later hits that are just as worthy such as "I can hear music", "Do it Again", "Wild Honey", and "Getcha Back".

However, since this CD contains only the band's "top 40 singles", serious fans will find this collection a little less appealing since some of the Beach Boys' best music {including many good recordings after 1966} never made the top 40. Several of these songs such as "Let him run wild", "Catch a Wave", "Warmth of the Sun", and "Girls on the Beach" are not included in this otherwise excellent collection. Much of this worthy lesser-known material has just been reissued on the new highly recommended compilation "The Warmth of the Sun".

This is only a minor issue of course since "Sounds of Summer" is surely one of the most comprehensive greatest hits collections ever released by any band. ALL of the Beach Boys hit singles are here on one disc, which makes this an essential CD for every Beach Boys fan.

Must have.......2007-06-13

If you're not one that already owns every Beach Boy record, this is one that you'll want to pick up. With 30 tracks it's a great survey of the Beach Boys from way back then up until some of there more recent stuff. If you're not familiar with the Beach Boys, you'll probably be amazed at the number of tracks on this CD that you've heard before and are familiar with, but didn't quite make the connection that all that good stuff came from the Beach Boys.

Album Description

One of the most enduring acts in American music, Peter Paul And Mary both defined and transcended the 1960s folk revival. The trio's passionate commitment to peace and social justice made them the conscience of an era as they soulfully communicated political concerns through music in an unprecedented way. At the same time that they reached millions with their social message, they acheived phenomenal mass popularity.

Best of the best.......2007-08-08

It's good to hear the songs and sounds of so many years ago and be carried back to where you heard them the first tiime.

The penultimate collection!.......2007-07-31

This is truly the penultimate collection of songs by Peter, Paul & Mary. Having grown up listening to their music, I can safely say that this is the album that you'll ever need to appreciate the beautiful melodies and breathtaking songs of this well loved American trio. All the songs that made them who they are are here and my personal fave is the wedding song that is so moving. Get this CD while you can and forget all the other best of collections out there, this is the one you really need!

This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ("One of These Nights," "Hotel California") still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, "Hole in the World," Don Henley's response to September 11, feels just as empty and entitled as "Get Over It," the band's previous state-of-the-union message (from which the newer song represents a philosophical 180-degree turn). But for those seeking an overview of this Southern California juggernaut's successes, as well as telling comments from band members--mostly Henley and Frey--in a well-designed booklet, Very Best will more than do. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Dollars and (common) cents........2007-06-14

I'm going to rate this CD based on a $1 per song cost to total cost for the entire CD (Apple and Rhapsody charge $1 per song).
The Eagles are great. Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh. I'm sure glad Hell froze over for them. Not that their recordings as the Eagles have been any good since then, but at least we might get a chance to see them live in concert.
This CD is the 'Greatest Hits' I've been waiting for. No longer do you have to buy their 'Greatest Hits - 1971 to 1975' for $14 and also their 'Greatest Hits - Vol. 2' for $15, in order to get all of their best work. There are $16 worth of great songs on here, but it will cost you $20 for the CD on Amazon. The songs are: CD 1: Tracks 1,2,3,4,7,8,13,14,15 & 17; CD 2: Tracks 1,3,5,7,9 & 10.
Better yet, all of the songs I've listed are available on iTunes. So buy each of the 16 songs individually on iTunes and save yourself $4.
Hope this helps.

Twenty hits from the Eagles make's sure you get your moneys worth. "Hotel California" & "Best of My Love" are my two faves, but I love them all. California rock and roll, gotta love it.

Great album to be a cornerstone of a music library.......2007-03-07

Confession time. I never grew up with the Eagles. Until I watched the live reunion DVD at a high end home audio shop, I only knew the names and some of the songs.

This is a darned good album that spans The Eagles portfolio of songs. The live album has a more refined sound due to age and experience of the band members BUT, this is a benchmark hits album of the original recordings.

They are all 5 star songs but..........2007-03-05

I will never get used to another Eagle's greatest hits album since that original one came out in early '76 since I got very accustomed to the perfect order in which those songs are played. I noticed that this newer version did not leave "Best Of My Love" as an ending song to the CD as it was on Greatest Hits 71-75 and on it's original album from '74 entitled: "The Border". In the case of "The Very Best Of the Eagles",they had 2 chances to put "Best Of My Love" at the end of a CD. Just like they had 6 chances on three different Journey compilations CDs to keep "Open Arms" an ending song to a CD as it was on 1981's "Escape". I guess I'm referring to the producers and or record company etc. After I bought the original "Eagle's Greatest Hits" that came out in early '76 (with it's perfect song list & sequence), all I ended up having to do was to buy two more studio albums ("Hotel California" and "The Long Run") and I had all the songs I needed. Now I have two DCC gold editions (Eagles Greatest Hits 71-75 and Hotel California) So, I've got 95 percent of their best stuff now. But for all of you that just want some Eagles songs and are not accustomed to the perfect order of the songs found on the original greatest hits CD (heard lots during our Bicentennial Year), you will probably be pleased with this CD set and with the songs that are included on it. I wouldn't blame you if you wanted it in fact as a career spanning CD set. But I'll personally never give up that perfect ordered original '76 edition of greatest hits for purposes of listening to straight through from start to finish.

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

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.

Spanning 22 years, this double-disc, 36-track compilation chronicles the initially unlikely and ultimately triumphant conflation of a failing, veteran English neo-blues band (Mick Fleetwood and the McVies) with a pair of mercurial American also-rans (the baroque folk-rock genius Lindsey Buckingham and crypto-songbird Stevie Nicks). The creative alchemy was immediate, as 15 epochal tracks ("Dreams," "Say You Love Me," "The Chain," "Don't Stop") from Fleetwood Mac and Rumours here attest. They could have arguably repeated that mega-successful formula for a decade, but chose a more musically expansive tack, represented "Sara," Think About Me" and the other core tracks drawn from the ambitious Tusk. While the band's megahit luster faded as the solo careers of Buckingham and Nicks took flight in the '80s, their power was still apparent in the dusky-bright pop of Christine McVie's "Hold Me" and "Little Lies." Sequenced with compelling listening rather than chronology in mind, this set also includes the strongest of the Mac's latter-day recordings (Nicks's "Paper Doll," "Silver Springs," and "No Questions Asked"; McVie's "As Long As You Follow"), as well the Lindsey Buckingham showcases "Go Insane" and "Big Love" from '97's The Dance. --Jerry McCulley

THIS IS FLEETWOOD MAC'S GREATEST COMPILATION MASTERPIECE EVER!.......2006-12-28

I will be writing a review on the legendary brilliant masterpiece 2-CD set album simply entitled "THE VERY BEST OF" by one of England's and America's greatest combined Rock bands EVER, I'm talking about the great FLEETWOOD MAC! This 2-CD set album was originally released on CD in 2002 on the Reprise Records label that was once owned by old blue eyes himself, the late great Frank Sinatra! Reprise Records is associated with Warner Brothers Records Inc. The matrix or ID number of this album is R2 73775. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible. Please forgive me for making this review a little long but I felt it was the only appropriate way to write this one on Fleetwood Mac!

What can I say about the great legendary Fleetwood Mac that hasn't already been said? I'm confident that you were already aware that Fleetwood Mac were already legendary before the megastar line-up of the beautiful Stevie Nicks, the beautiful Christine McVie, the gracefully talented Lindsay Buckingham and the multi-talented masterminds and founders of Fleetwood Mac, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. Fleetwood Mac would be known worldwide as the band that contained three of Rock's greatest guitarists that would ever play together in one band on the same stage! I'm talking about the great Peter Green, Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer! After all three guitarists along with guitarist Bob Welch departed Fleetwood Mac in the 70's, the band was at a crossroads and McVie, Fleetwood and a young beauty named Christine Perfect (Soon to be McVie) were only left with their name! When Fleetwood and both McVie's traveled to California U.S.A., it would not take very long before Fleetwood Mac Mach II would be born and set the stage and the whole world on fire! The beautiful Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham would be the needed ingredients that would complete the NEW AND IMPROVED FLEETWOOD MAC! Fleetwood Mac will not only be remembered for having four of the greatest legendary guitarists in all of Rock n' Roll history, but for having two of the most beautiful angelic female voices in the history of Rock n' Roll! That's right, you guessed it, I'm talking about the beautiful Stevie Nicks and the beautiful Christine McVie! Nicks' voice is one that you will definitely recognize! Her voice, like Janis', Grace Slick's and Ann Wilson's from Heart, has a very husky, crisp and raw voice that will give you goose bumps and shake you down to the bone! Christine McVie also has a husky, crisp and raw voice that will send shivers right up your spine! I love all these beauties voices but I'm only going to talk about Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie! In my opinion, this whole album is nothing but outstanding and brilliant! Every single song track in this album is great!

There are so many songs listed in this album! I would love to review all the songs in this album especially since all of these songs are my favorite! It is extremely hard for me to choose one over the other! Rather than list and briefly review all the song tracks in this album, I will only list and review my most favorite song tracks in their original exact running order as follows: DISC ONE (1.) "Monday Morning," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! I LOVE THIS SONG! This is a great Rocker!) (2.) "Dreams," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great Rocker! this is one of Nicks' greatest Lead Vocal contributions to Fleetwood Mac! The musical arrangements blend and harmonize perfectly with Nicks' angelic voice! I love this song dearly!) (3.) "You Make Loving Fun," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! I love this Rocker! Christine McVie sings this song with such grace and beauty that you cannot help but be trapped in her trance!) (4.) "Go Your Own Way," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great Rocker! I love this song dearly!) (5.) "Rhiannon," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This song is quite simply, Ms. Stevie Nicks! Nicks' blistering merciless mystic Lead Vocals in this song will have you begging for more! I love this this beautiful song so dearly!) (6.) "Say You Love Me," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! I love this mild Rocker! This is quite simply, Christine McVie! Her blistering merciless Lead Vocals in this song will shake you to your roots! I love it!) (8.) "Silver Springs," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! A beautiful Nicks number! This song was originally an outtake from the legendary "RUMOURS" album! This song would eventually see its day in the light and premiere in the Fleetwood Mac live reunion album and DVD "THE DANCE" from 1997! This is Stevie Nicks at her absolute BEST! I love it!) (9.) "Over My Head," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This song is quite simply, Christine McVie! I love her Lead Vocals in this one! The musical arrangements are perfect for McVie's most angelic voice!) (11.) "Sara," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great mild Nicks' Rocker! This is again, Stevie Nicks at her absolute BEST! I love her sweet angelic voice in this one!) (14.) "Landslide," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This is quite simply, S-t-e-v-i-e N-i-c-k-s! This is one hell of a beautiful song! I love Nicks' most beautiful angelic voice in this one! The acoustic arrangements blend beautifully with Nicks' beautiful Lead Vocals! I also love the lyrics to this song!) (15.) "Songbird" (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This is the most emotional that I have ever heard Christine McVie ever sing! This is one of the most beautiful songs that Fleetwood Mac ever recorded! Christine's voice is so angelic that you can't help but feel absorbed into her hypnotic trance!) and (16.) "Big Love." (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This song is quite simply, Mr. Lindsay Buckingham! Buckingham kicks a*s and shows how it's done on the acoustic guitar! Lindsay's Lead Vocals sounds as if he is pleading for your attention which I'm sure he gets!) Now, its on to DISC TWO (1.) "The Chain," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great trademark Mac number! I love this song!) (2.) "Don't Stop," (Outstanding! Brilliant! superb! Another great trademark Mac number! This song kicks a*s! I love the musical arrangements in this song! Another song I love dearly!) (4.) "Gypsy," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This song is again, quite simply, Stevie Nicks! I love her beautiful angelic yet powerful Lead Vocals in this one! This song kicks a*s as well!) (6.) "Little Lies," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This song is quite simply, BOTH Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie! Both their angelic voices blend and harmonize beautifully and perfectly together in this one! I love it!) (7.) "Think About Me," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This is one GREAT ROCKER! I love Christine's powerful and angelic Lead Vocals in this one! WOW! I LOVE IT!) (9.) "Gold Dust Woman," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great Nicks Lead Vocal arrangement! This is another song with Nicks at her ABSOLUTE BEST! I LOVE IT!) WOW, I AM NEVER GOING TO FINISH THIS REVIEW WITH ALL OF THE GREAT SONGS IN THIS ALBUM! (10.) "Hold Me," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This is another great song! This is Christine at her ABSOLUTE BEST! Her angelic voice blends perfectly with the music in this one! I LOVE IT DEARLY!) (13.) "Everywhere" (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This is one hell of a great song! Christine sings this song beautifully and gracefully! Well done Christine! I LOVE IT!) and (16.) "As Long As You Follow." (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great Christine McVie number! I love her Lead Vocals in this one! Her voice sounds so beautiful that I can NEVER get tired of listening to her or Stevie sing! What great breathtaking voices!) If I left any of your favorites out, please forgive me! I deeply apologize on my part! Overall, this is one great hell of an album! Really, every single song track in this album is nothing less than outstanding and brilliant!

As you can see, this is definitely a treasure album worth purchasing that he or she should definitely own as a valuable part of his or her personal music collection. This priceless gem will definitely be enjoyed and cherished for many more years to come, NOW AND FOREVER!

In closing, Fleetwood Mac are TRUE LEGENDS! I know for fact that we haven't seen or heard the last of Fleetwood Mac yet! This band still has so much to give to the whole world in general! Forgive me for saying this and I do not mean to offend anyone or anybody especially the bandmembers! Listening to all these brilliant well recorded songs gives me the feeling that Nicks and McVie were in DEEP competition with each other, am I wrong? I REALLY HOPE I AM! But when you have two great female singers in the same band, there's bound to be some form of friction between the two! The reason why I am questioning this is because McVie does not appear in the most recent Fleetwood Mac release "SAY YOU WILL" from 2003! I really do hope that I am wrong in making this statement and I would love to see McVie back in the Mac line-up where she so rightly belongs! Here's to you Fleetwood Mac! Keep persevering! Thanks for reading my long review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. Long Live Fleetwood Mac! Long Live Rock n' Roll! Rock out always and take care. Forever in Rock, J.L.

The Mac's best compilation, all the Buckingham-era studio albums are all better.......2006-10-25

A two-disc set including all of the band's hits from 1975-1987, as well as some album tracks and lessor-known songs. The packaging is attractive, and the remastering is outstanding. Although I personally feel that the five studio albums from this lineup of the band are superior than any compilation, the set will fit the bill nicely for those who are looking a collection with all of the hits and most of the significant album tracks. This peaked at #12 on the Hot 200 and is as close to a definitive compilation of this era of the band as there is.

FAVORITE ALBUM EVER.......2006-07-22

I adore this collection of Fleetwood Mac's work. Rhiannon is my all time favorite. It is so beautiful. The songs sung by Stevie Nicks are the most beautiful, since her voice is spellbinding.
I reccomend this to every age group! It's fabulous!

Amazon.com

From the perspective of 15 subsequent platinum albums and 20 top-10 hits, it's hard to imagine that Chicago began their career as a bona fide prog-fusion act, an early FM radio favorite whose jazz-tinged, album-length suites found them a hip cult following even as they confounded label execs. Ironically, when the pioneering horn band (a contemporary of Blood, Sweat & Tears and inspiration for one-hit wonders like Lighthouse, Ides of March, and Ten Wheel Drive) relented and allowed their music to be edited down to single length, their success was explosive. Most of the "single edits" on disc 1 of this 39-track anthology provide ample evidence of that de facto formula: a catchy riff ("25 or 6 to 4," "Saturday in the Park," "Color My World") develops into a hook-filled, pop-savvy production rife with the band's trademark horn perfection. One could argue that that sensibility--and a midcareer tilt toward producer David Foster, songwriter Diane Warren, and the MOR ballads that became some of their biggest successes--degenerated into formula. Indeed, there's much on the second disc to support that notion. This set spans it all, showcasing newly refocused edits of some their biggest early hits and lesser-known tracks like their lively '95 cross-cultural collaboration with the Gipsy Kings on a cover of Louis Prima's swing classic "Sing, Sing, Sing." --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

This May Very Well Be The Most Comprehensive Career Spanning Double CD Set Ever Compiled.......2007-07-30

If you love all of Chicago's hit songs or know some songs you like by them, you're sure to find them on here. This is a great "best of" double CD set with a great remastered sound. Check out the song list and it might just make your day.

God, I needed this!.......2007-03-28

I graduated high school in '76,so CHICAGO was a huge part of my musical formitive years.Have to admit I was somewhat of a musical snob-all about the musicianship,and CHICAGO fit the bill perfectly.So edgy,raw,and powerful.Even their ballads back then had such soul and substance.
This is the music that got me through the rough times,takes you away to a whole different place.When I saw this set on Amazon,I had to have it;and I've not been dissappointed.When I played disc 1,I got chills just like back in the day. Rhino's remastering kicks serious a--!Rich,clear and full sound.I know the few edits are kind of a pain,but hey-no biggie.Just sit back,crank up the headphones and FEEL the music. Now I know what you other hard-core fans are saying-"What about disc 2?" I've got a tip for you-when you listen to the second disc,just listen to it for what it is-not as a CHICAGO fan.It's really pretty good stuff.Besides,the 1st disc is worth the price of the whole set anyway. Those of you who are not too familiar with the group,here's what you'll get-superior musicianship,powerful horns,extraordinary guitar work(Kath),a very strong,much overlooked rythum section and wonderful vocal harmonies.A band with incredible range and versatility. What else can I say! Five stars-easy!

Chicago CD.......2007-03-22

We listen to this ALL the time... everyone who comes over comments on it. Great music. I bought it as a gift for my husband, who noticed that one of his favorites ("Colour My World"), is not included. Other than that, its a great 2-CD compilation of all their best tunes.

The very best!.......2007-01-09

This is a two-disc set containing just about every hit song I remember by Chicago. I have to say I enjoyed the first disc more than the second as it has the earlier songs. I have always enjoyed the brass in Chicago's sound and this album brings it on fantastically. If you want to hear the very best of Chicago, this is the album to buy!

BIG DEAL ANOTHER GREATEST HITS COLLECTION. THERE ARE OTHER CHICAGO ALTERATIVES..................2007-01-07

You could buy all the Chicago Rhino record remasters with fine linear notes, if one or a few of your favorites are missing. I like the remastering on this Chicago collection, I hate that Rhino edited a few songs. Yeah! I know no "Harry Truman" is missing, what a mistake that was. A nice Chicago collection if you just want the hits spanning their nearly fortyone year career. The beginning of the Chicago band was the best, actually the first nine years with Terry Kath and James William Guerico producing all of the Chicago recording output, up to Chicago XI, 1977, (output from 1969 to 1977). Ironically Chicago XI would be Terry Kaths last record with Chicago before his untimely death in January 1978. Wheather you like or hate the 1980s, 1990s material, this greatest hits collection, still speaks for Chicago as a band that has lasted since its conception in 1967. I like some of the 1980s material, despite Chicago being Peter Ceteras backup band at this time. I like 2006 release Chicago XXX, which I really thought had some of the old Chicago sound despite some ballads. Chicago still has four original members in the band as of 2007. I wish the bad blood with Peter Cetera and Danny Seraphine would clear and both would rejoin Chicago, fat chance at that happening. This is a nice Rhino remastered "Chicago Greatest Hits" Remaster with a few flaws, that I remedied by getting all the Chicago Rhino Remasters.

John Lennon's solo work has been anthologized so many times that it's hard to believe there wasn't a definitive compilation before this one. And, depending on your particular take, you might not find Lennon Legend quite hitting the mark. However, since it does contain the brilliantly scathing "Working Class Hero," doesn't ignore the woefully underrated Rock 'n' Roll album, and catches the hopeful renewal that came toward the end of his foreshortened life, it's probably about as close as anyone's going to come. His great songs shine, meditations like "Imagine" and his rockers had form and content, as in "Whatever Gets You Through the Night." He was an icon, and this does him justice. --Chris Nickson

Amazon.co.uk

Imagine a place where the personal, political, and emotional elements of John Lennon's music converge together seamlessly in one cohesive production. An assortment of his finest solo work, Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon is of great interest to anyone who's ever been a fan of the Beatles, the Plastic Ono Band, Yoko Ono, or simply the genius himself. Ranging from a rendition of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" to the sounds of the Plastic Ono Band and the Harlem Community Choir on "Happy Xmas" and the classic anti-war anthem "Give Peace A Chance", the recordings assembled here stand as a testament to one of rock's most complex and influential musical talents. If you believe that Lennon's greatest period of creativity came to an end with the Beatles, you owe yourself a listen to this album.

Lots of great songs,.......2007-07-03

and two or three that are not. This is the most complete collection of Lennon's solo work I've heard. Lennon reminds me of the old poem about the little girl with the curl in the middle of her head. When he was good, he was very, very, good ("Imagine"), when he was bad, he was horrid (the primal scream stuff he did with Yoko, which fortunately isn't included here).

just about all of his greatest hits........2007-04-11

what can I say, this cd has most if not all of his greatest hits after the beatles broke up

Missing.......2007-03-29

"Happy Xmas War Is Over" and "Cold Turkey" could easily have been left off this compilation in order to make room for one of Lennon's most haunting and beautiful melodies, "Old Dirt Road," which was penned by Lennon and Harry Nilson during their partying days in LA. Too bad.

Great Collection.......2007-03-17

This is a great collection of some of John Lennon's best songs.
I love it!

In the midst of the late 1970s punk/new wave revolution, England's Supertramp tore a page from the Genesis playbook, suffusing their previously overwrought prog-rock influences and bittersweet hippie optimism gone sour with muscular pop hooks. They eventually became one of the world's foremost rock acts--and later a rich source for contemporary TV commercial music. But while Supertramp peaked quickly, they nonetheless spawned at least two bona fide classic albums--Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America--and a slate of FM radio staples, all of which are included on this near 80-minute anthology. Fully three-quarters of Crime is represented, and rightly so. That 1974 album both stripped down and reinvented the band's sound, centering it around the songs of Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, pulsing electric piano chords, and distinctively reedy vocals on tense, spare songs like "Bloody Well Right" and "Dreamer." But by the time of the multiplatinum Breakfast, they had refined their edgy prog sensibility to virtual extinction with well-crafted pop hits like "The Logical Song" and "Take the Long Way Home." This well-chosen collection spans a decade, but focuses intently on the five great years that cemented Supertramp's reputation. --Jerry McCulley

WHERE'S "FOOL'S OVERTURE"?.......2007-06-28

THIS IS A GOOD COMPILATION OF SUPERTRAMP MUSIC....EXCEPT... WHY NOT INCLUDE "FOOL'S OVERTURE" FROM "EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS"? IT IS A REMARKABLE WORK OF ART AND BELOVED BY MOST OF US WHO CAME OF AGE IN THE SEVENTIES. IF SOME OF YOU NEW TO SUPERTRAMP ARE EXPECTING TO "COVER" SUPERTRAMP WITH THIS CD AND HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD "FOOL'S OVERTURE", PLEASE FIND IT SOMEWHERE AND LISTEN CAREFULLY...I THINK YOU'LL BE BUYING "EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS" RIGHT AWAY...IT'S ONLY 7.98 AT AMAZON RIGHT NOW! "GIVE A LITTLE BIT" MORE, GAIN A LOT! PEACE!

Sounds as good as ever! .......2007-05-28

This is a great "greatest hits" Cd by SUPERTRAMP. The recordings are so crisp & sharp! A fun Cd to listen to, ....anytime (especially if you like Supertramp, as I do!)

Breakfast in America was the best!.......2007-05-26

I orderered the Very Best of Supertramp after debating between Breakfast in America (which I once owned on LP) and the former. I liked the cuts from Breakfast in America the best. I do love this group, though, they are eclectic and they have a very unique sound.

Supertramp.......2007-05-13

After listening to this music 20 years ago and forgetting about it, the internet radio station played it a few tunes. I had forgotten just how good this music was. I only wish that they would put it out in 5.1 surround format. This is some of the best music from the 70's. A must have for any audio file.

Nothing Trampish Here.......2007-05-12

I bought this to restock the Cd's having owned the vinyl album for over 20 yrs. I was not dissapointed, all those early memories coming back when I first heard this again. Pure nostalgia and neither the music or the lyrics have dated over the years. A true super group. Go on give yourself a treat and buy this cd, you will not be dissapointed.
