Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2005-09-29

I'm a big BC fan and I'm glad that their early singles are available in this boxed set! The b-sides, alternate takes, and remixes make this set a must-have for Big Country enthusiasts. If you are new to Big Country, this collection contains their most famous tracks (except for perhaps "King of Emotion" and the original version of "Wonderland"), so it is also a good place to start. The sound quality is superb and the packaging is also first-rate. Great stuff, well presented!

4 out of 5 stars The most-famous of the BC singles........2004-04-27

The earliest, famous Big Country singles can be found in this boxset. For those collecting BC on CD, this set features the original version of Harvest Home and a slightly extended mix of Heart & Soul, to my knowledge, not available on other CD releases. Sound quality is great. The cardboard sleeves, featuring original artwork reproduction of each single, are actually both sturdy & flexible enough to house each single and remove it carefully without scratching the discs. Combined with the other three boxsets in the BC series, the listener is treated to a great overview of both hits and the majority of highly underrated B-sides. Worth the investment.

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars If You Can Find It, Buy It!.......2004-12-31

    This is the best of the many Big Country compilations released over the years, partly because of the tracklist, but also because of the sound quality.

    This compilation has three outstanding tracks from Big Country's dark, overlooked masterpiece, "Steeltown" -- Tall Ships Go, Girl With Grey Eyes, and the title track -- and they all sound terrific. You also get the single version of Just A Shadow, but the sound quality there is not so great. JAS actually sounds better on Through A Big Country, the greatest hits collection. And the b-side Belief In The Small Man is an astonishing, soaring epic that will make you wonder why it was ever relegated to b-side status.

    If you only know the song "In A Big Country" and you're looking for an introduction to the rest of the band's material, this is a great place to start. The first four tracks are all from the band's brilliant debut, "The Crossing", and you get four of the best tracks from the band's stellar third album, "The Seer". The sound of that album had a lighter, pop-leaning sound, but still with an ethereal Celtic flavor that should appeal to fans of Peter Gabriel, Enya, or Kate Bush, who actually sang backup on "The Seer".

    The last three tracks come from the band's fourth album, "Peace In Our Time", which was an overproduced attempt at radio-friendly pop, but this collection wisely chooses two of the best tracks from that album, "Thousand Yard Stare" and "The Travellers", an Irish-flavoured instrumental.

    Plus you get a terrific sounding version of "Wonderland", the UK hit from '84 that shows Big Country sounding a lot like early U2.

    Great stuff!
