Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilà. The bad news: We're missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger's crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don't have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any best-of package a worthy investment. But if you want to get comprehensive, "Rock & Roll Never Forgets," "Fire Down Below," "Horizontal Bop," "Her Strut," "Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight," and "Katmandu" aren't on this CD--and you'll have to go to the original albums to secure them. --Gavin McNett

it must have been better.......2007-07-10

este cd trae buenos temas; pero a un grandes exitos no se le puede omitir eso... exitos. aqui falta "shame on the moon" y "shakedown", basicos en la discografia de este artista.

REally is greatest.......2007-07-08

My husband, who thought he'd never heard of Bog Seger, love the CD. They
are, of course, some of his favorite songs. He just didn't know the
artist's name.

I enjoyed every song on this album. I got my more than my money's worth.

What's not to love?!.......2007-05-29

You can't go wrong with Bob Seger for good old rock and roll!

Memories.......2007-04-02

Many of these songs bring back memories. What a talent! If you like Bob Seger, you'll love this CD. His grainy, soulful voice is at its best.

Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve Williams

I've been listening to this CD for 2 weeks in my car on the way to work.

Soundtrack of an era.......2007-06-15

This is an excellent compilation of CCR's tunes from the late 60s, early 70s. There's a reason why Credence tunes kept popping up in movies and commercials. It's great music and evocative of the era from which it comes. No need for me to review the individual tunes; anybody with a radio has head most of them. A must-have for any music fan.

Great value. If you are into the 60s' and 70s' you will love this one.

This is how you do a greatest hits collection. You put ALL of them on there. Not a mix of half greats, and half "other", then release the rest on another "greatest hits" CD.

Get the Infinity album too........2007-07-07

Unfortunately, it does not include my favorite song tandem Feeling That Way/ Anytime. For that you need to buy The Infinity album. It does include some great songs, a good mix of rockers and ballads. Definitely worth the price to anyone who loves classic rock and roll or was a teen in the late '70s. But do yourself a favor and get the Infinity album too.

The long Journey home.......2007-07-06

A must for any collection. Perry's voice is amazing. All the hits are in this CD, plus a couple you forgot

Dollars and (common) cents........2007-06-18

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).
I can still remember the days when, if you were a guy, you didn't admit to your friends that you liked Journey. I guess because they wrote a lot of soft rock or 'pop' love songs and had a really big lady following back then. Journey was so damn popular that they had their own video arcade game. It was much better than Kiss' pinball machine. Is Steve Perry ever going to do a reunion with the band?
This CD is great. I'm not afraid anymore to admit that I like Journey. The CD on Amazon is priced at $10. There are $14 worth of excellent songs on here (Tracks 1 through 14). So this CD is worth the price. You can also load the entire album on iTunes for $10, if you don't want to wait for the CD in the mail (and save yourself the shipping costs).

Thank you David Chase for the best ever television series created with The Sopranos. Thanks to you also for selecting Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" for the final song of The Sopranos that will forever tie Journey and The Sopranos together in television history. Both are in classes by themeselves and will never be surpassed.

Amazon.com

If Hollywood's marriage with pop music is too often a marketing-driven shotgun affair, there remain musicians whose artistry can't help but elevate whatever film project they're associated with. This 19-track compendium underscores that notion, gathering a career-spanning collection of the Irish rock-R&B legend's contributions to an eclectic body of films that stretches from Pope of Greenwich Village's effusive early solo hit "Jackie Wilson Said" to the unlikely live collaboration with Roger Waters on "Comfortably Numb" that seasons Martin Scorsese's Oscar-nominated The Departed. The collection serves as a concise primer to the high points of Van Morrison's mercurial career, from the gritty career-breakout hits ("Gloria," "Baby Please Don't Go") of his British Invasion band Them through such early solo touchstones as "Wild Night," "Brown Eyed Girl," "Domino," and the collection's fine, previously unreleased live version of "Moondance" from An American Werewolf in London. But, as tracks like "Wonderful Remark," "Bright Side of the Road," "Someone Like You," and his Chieftains collaboration "Irish Heartbeat" ably argue, it's also an invitation to explore less heralded, if equally seductive, corners of the singer's rich oeuvre. --Jerry McCulley

Van the Man at the Movies.......2007-07-10

As Michael Heatley notes in the excellent accompanying booklet, when Van came in at The Last Waltz, it kicked that last concert of The Band up a notch, and the ensuing energy never came back down. He has that effect and, I think, in general, helped the films his music accompanied, rather than the other way around. This compilation ranges from "Gloria" with Van's early band, Them, to a duet with Roger Waters on Pink Floyd's The Wall of "Comfortably Numb". The question is, however, how well does it hold up for general airtime in the CD player?

Quite well. If you already have The Best of Van Vols one and two CDs, you already have most of the best songs this disc leaves off. Heatley makes the choice of soundtrack songs for the films seem so much a matter of director's decision, that rather than lionizing them for what they did include, you wonder why they left off your favorites. Where's "Full Force Gale"? "When Will I Ever Learn (to Live in God)"? "And It Stoned Me"? One could go on and on. Change of tactic, therefore, to celebrate what is included rather than decry what is not.

This disc ranges over what might be considered the various Van periods, which are distinctive musically. Hungry For Your Love" comes from what Heatley calls the "often overlooked" Wavelength album, which hails from the era of horns and gospel vocal back-ups. Astral Weeks, yes, but I think Wavelength is one of Van's best albums ever. Some songs exist in alt/ live versions here, to good effect, as with the best known classics, "Domino", "Caravan". "Moondance" and "Into the Mystic". The studio versions are easily available but most fans will enjoy hearing the new takes. Van handles them confidently, and drops into his effortless live groove, slurring the words of "Into the Mystic" which, like these other songs, can survive any number of interpretations. "Bright Side of the Road" comes from another Wavelength era overlooked album, Into the Music, which unveiled the amazing "Full Force Gale", the latter conspicuous by its absence. '90s Van appears with the standout "Real Real Gone" and "Days Like These". Two songs will already be familiar to non- van fans, having been hits for John Cougar Mellencamp and Rod Stewart.

As I write, Van still hasn't gotten the Nobel Prize, although he's done more to bring enjoyment and harmony than almost anyone on the planet, with the possible exception of Mother Teresa, who already did get it, so it's Van's turn. But until that oversight is addressed, at least there's this compilation which shows he's not only raised the bar for music but also significantly improved the movies.

Absolutely awesome album.......2007-07-03

A great Van Morrison album for someone who really loves Van Morrison and his legendary sound. It's in my CD player all the time.

Some live, some studio.......2007-05-15

Some of Van Morrison's songs on this album are live and some are studio made. I really don't much care for the live songs because I learned to like those songs made in the studio on vinyl. This is still a very good album.

The Mamas and the Papas had a sound that helped define a portion of the 1960s. Their breezy folk classics had a bit of San Francisco psychedelia woven in, and, despite the sweet harmonies, there was also a noticeably dark feel to some of their more popular work. "California Dreamin'" and "Monday, Monday" both utilized enough minors to give them a spooky edge. Greatest Hits is an essential part of any audiophile's collection, especially if they don't have the original recordings that spawned the hits. "Dedicated to the One I Love" is almost ironic for its tenderness, considering the turmoil that rumbled through the band's interrelationships. While John and Michelle Phillips and Denny Doherty were all responsible for the success of the Mamas and the Papas, listening to this collection reveals that the late great Mama Cass was not only the heart but the soul of the band. Greatest Hits closes with her "Dream a Little Dream of Me," and serves as a touching tribute to Cass Elliot's talent. --Steve Gdula

Customer Reviews:

A Must for Any Music Fan!.......2007-06-30

The Mamas & The Papas - who doesn't love their music? This CD is ESSENTIAL. 20 of their best loved hits and album tracks. What harmonies, singing, songwriting & production on these songs. The voices of Cass, Denny, John & Michelle eternally in unison on these amazing songs.

I love the biggest hits, as well as the album tracks & minor hits, like Denny's lead on DANCING BEAR, NO SALT ON HER TAIL, which should have been a single, and SAFE IN MY GARDEN - one of their last singles in 1968. And of course, their anthems CALIFORNIA DREAMIN', MONDAY MONDAY, GO WHERE YOU WANNA GO, and many more. LOOK THROUGH MY WINDOW is just majestic with Denny's lead, Cass & Michelle's backing vocals & the swirling strings. John Phillips wrote it, and it's one of their masterpieces, like MONDAY MONDAY is.

The best single disc Mamas & Papas CD around today.

Best Deal for Mamas and Papas.......2007-05-15

This is the best collection for the money. All their great songs!!

Harmonies and GREAT tunes make this a no-brainer........2007-04-20

The origin of the Mamas & the Papas is an interesting one, and for the most part us fans pretty much care mostly about what made them great: the music. When all is said and done, John Phillips has been regarded as a lot less of a talented songwriter than he truly was. When you can wake up in the middle of the night and force Michelle Phillips to write down the lyrics to a song that's been bouncing around your head for a few hours and it turns out to be "California Dreamin" you can consider yourself an accomplished songwriter (IMHO). That is easily the best song written basically while asleep since "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney.

While "California Dreamin" wasn't their all-time biggest chart topper, it is most assuredly the song that us fans think of most often when we read or hear about this amazingly talented Quartet. Drugs, alcohol and who knows what else very much contributed to a great deal of the problems and in some respects their eventual break-up, but NOBODY can seriously take away the impact that they have had over the years.

Personally I feel that Denny Doherty was one of the most underrated singers of the 60's. His talent on their signature song is unmistakable, and since his passing recently, will be sorely missed. As it stands, we now only have Michelle left of the original four members. All I can say is for the casual fans of the band, this is a great collection to have, and you will be amazed at the selection of songs that you probably haven't heard before that are assembled here. For the true Mamas & the Papas fans, it'll take you on an incredible trip down memory lane the way only great music can. I find that through specific songs I can remember obscure moments of my life that otherwise I honestly would have totally forgotten otherwise. Its an amazing medium and one I am fortunate to work in regularly.

While I didn't hit my teen years in the 60's, I was fortunate to have worked at an Oldies themed radio station for several years which helped me to really learn to love this music in a way I probably never would have in any other way. Give this CD a shot and get ready for hours--if not years of pure enjoyment.

This is the first attempt to consolidate all of Sir Elton's hit singles, from three labels, in one collection. It once would've required at least four CDs to own the best stuff here. Many think the legendary performer was at his best in the early to mid-'70s, and the incredible string of singles that ran from 1970's "Your Song" through 1977's "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" remains mighty impressive. But in retrospect, as they're presented here, '80s hits like "I'm Still Standing" and "Sad Songs" add much to an already amazing legacy. Three Disney tunes, the lush "The One," and two from Songs from the West Coast, which was hailed as a return to those '70s golden days, represent the later years. Collectively, these tracks reinforce the notion that, despite Michael Jackson's later proclamations, John was once the closest thing post-'60s music had to a genuine king of pop, respected by hipsters and the mainstream alike. --Bill Holdship

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).
Elton John is good. This CD is even better. I was disappointed to learn that he didn't write a lick of his own lyrics (Bernie Taupin did). Elton John just wrote the music. And I guess we need to hear great music before we'll listen to the lyrics of a song.
Amazon is currently selling the CD for $15. The good news is that there is $20 worth of great music on it. This CD is worth ever dollar and them some. The essential Elton John songs are: Disc 1 - Tracks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15 & 16 (and I guess Candle In The Wind). Disc 2 - Tracks 1,3,4,5 & 6.
Hope this helps.

I got this as a birthday present and it's fab! It has all the songs that Elton is well known for and a few you maybe have forgotten about. It's easy listening and great for singing along to. Big thumbs up from me!

I've got lots of old Elton on vinyl (yes, I'm old) and was delighted to find 37 Elton tunes on CD for such a great price. This is a wonderful collection with some newer songs I didn't have. And I can play them in the car! (vinyl is not so good for that).

Great Album!.......2007-04-03

I am really enjoying this one. How can anyone dislike anything done by Elton John? Highly recommended.

NOT THE GREATEST HITS!.......2007-03-27

Greatest Hits collections have almost always disappointed me because they invariably leave out a number of songs which were major hits of the artiste concerned. This Elton John collection is no different as four of his top ten hits are excluded. They are "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" (no.1 on the Hot 100), "Mama Can't Buy You Love" (no.9), "Little Jeannie" (no.3) and "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That" (no.2). Although this album is superior to previous collections I'm afraid I can only give it a 4 star rating because when it's title says "Elton John Greatest Hits" I expect every one of his BIGGEST hits to be included!

There was an innocence to the Swedish quartet, even when they were singing about one-night stands and the invitations to them. Gold establishes that the band, while appreciated as campy, were actually multifaceted in their execution. "S.O.S." has a raw urgency in its chorus, and "Does Your Mother Know" draws its energy from classic '50s rock & roll. Likewise, you don't have to be Priscilla to swoon over "Mamma Mia" or "Dancing Queen." And when it comes to drama, those soaring vocals on "The Winner Takes It All" turn the song into a bitter anthem of every relationship that has ever fallen apart. The much-covered "Lay All Your Love on Me" is practically epic. --Steve Gdula

ABBA was/is Top of the Pops. But did you know these?.......2007-07-05

Nothing in this life has brought me more joy that ABBA. From the first time I heard Waterloo, until the fanatic state began with Fernando, they have had my heart like no other group. GOLD is the best essence of ABBA. It has the best of the best sans Summer Night City, which is on the subsequent More Gold. Their only pop rivals in sales were The Bee Gees and the enormously huge pop/disco group Boney M. Relative unknowns in the US. Check them out. Not so much Abba sounding, but if you like good melodies and irresistable hooks, great purchase. Another big, but short-lived pop group was Clout. Much more like Abba. Highly recommended.

Better music.......2007-06-27

I have tried to get some of thier CDs for some time but this CD was worth the wait, sounds are great and are a "sing along with" mode, great CD.

One of the best Swedish imports.......2007-05-24

Abba's Greatest Hits lives up to its title. This is an excellent comp album. All of the hits are here [I am just old enough to remember Abba's heyday]. This is a very good, very well-rounded collection of Abba's recordings. There's not a lame song on here. The album can be listened to straight through without ever being tempted to hit the skip button. Simply some of the best pop music ever, not just from the 70s. Abba was a bright spot of the 70s, countering a bad presidency and wicked gas prices. Hmmmm, we have those back again, come to think of it. Where's our Abba?

Make sure this is what you're looking for........2007-05-16

Abba was a pretty prolific and popular group in the 70s. For those of us familiar with ABBA, this album is great. Those who aren't might want to give this a try. You've probably heard some of their tunes before without even realizing it was ABBA. Note that there is another greatest hits collection called the Definitive Collection. It's a 2 disc set that contains everything on this album, some lesser hits and a remix or two as well. For the die hard fan you might want to check into the Definitive Collection (or the Complete Studio Collection for you ABBA freaks out there). For the passing fan like myself, all of the great stuff is here.

Awesome.......2007-04-12

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by ABBA. It starts off with a great 1-2 punch of "Dancing Queen" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You". The hits just keep on coming, "Waterloo", "Gimmie a Man After Midnight", "Voules Vouz", "Fernando", "SOS", "I Had a Dream". There are a couple songs I wish were on here like "People Need Love", "If It Wasn't for the Night" and Frida's solo hit "I Know There's Something Going On".

A Little Less Conversation (JXL Radio Edit Remix) (Bonus Track)

Amazon.com

In 1987, RCA released a one-disc Elvis compilation called The Number One Hits that featured 18 tracks. So how did the label come up with 12 additional number ones (13 if you count the sensational "A Little Less Conversation" remix that brings the King into the 21st century as a bona fide dance/electronica star)? Well, the '87 compilation featured only Billboard number ones. "In the Ghetto" and "Burning Love" never reached the top there, nor did "Way Down," despite every copy of that 45 selling out on both sides of the Atlantic following Presley's 1977 death. Instead, the new compilers have used the major pop charts in both the U.S. (including Cashbox) and U.K. to determine inclusions. The tracks have all been remixed from original masters, which proves awesome at best (some of the songs have never sounded crisper if, at times, slightly antiseptic) and problematic at worst. Purists will definitely quibble. "A Fool Such As I," for instance, sounds like Elvis rerecorded his vocals. Hank Garland's great guitar solo also sounds different. It might be an alternate take. That's definitely the case with "The Wonder of You." A few lyrics are even different, meaning this isn't the same version as the original 45. Of course, none of that should matter to the youngsters who've been singing along to "Hound Dog" on the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack, or to any other newcomers. Despite the complaints, this is arguably the best single disc Elvis primer to date. Real fans will want to explore much deeper for treasures to be found, but albums like this guarantee that this is one king who will deservedly live very long, if not forever. --Bill Holdship

the elvis beat.......2007-06-15

I am very happy with this cd/it starts out early elvis and rocks all the way through as none other than Elvis could do...actually a good sound and certainly not a disappointment...I recommend this cd as a good purchase.

elvis 30 #1 hits.......2007-06-12

I justdo not think that this cd was properly remastered. Unlike elvis 2nd to none,which sounded great, the sound quality is lacking on this cd.

Phenomenal.......2007-05-28

What an incredible collection of music. I may even be in the minority, but I thought many of the songs on the Second to None CD were just as good, and in some case better, than many of the offerings here. To put both together provides some of the greatest sounding songs ever released. Elvis was more than just a singer and performer. He is truly an American Icon. His voice and music are timeless and the grea thing about this CD, is that it opened the door for a lot of listeners who may not have been familiar with the great songs that are classics now and will remain so. I think it may be about time for "Third Times a Charm" for those other gems that fell a little short of the other classics.

One of the Best !!!.......2007-04-11

This collection of Elvis' work is one of the BEST purchase values as far as content and cost go. We are part of the generation that grew up listening to him and were extremely pleased with this large selection of his hits. If you want most of the songs you are familiar with and ones that were his biggest hits, this album is the best bet for your money !!!

Golden treasures from 1956 to 1977.......2007-03-11

Unlike a lot of Elvis fans, this reviewer was but a child yet to enter school when the "King" passed away. Growing up, I had varying musical tastes and did enjoy some reruns on television of the films Elvis starred in. After a while I moved on to yet other interests in music, but eventually came back around to the one they call "The King" of Rock and Roll.

I'm not an Elvis Aficionado or expert, so if you want some fanatical Rain Man type repeater of his life or what was on his mind during the recording of a specific song, you will have to look elsewhere. What I will say is that what you see with this album is what you get. Every song is a #1 hit single, and there are 30 of them in all. Considering that you usually are lucky to get 20 songs for a maximum list on any CD, that in itself makes it something of value. 30 songs on a single CD that are also digitally remastered from their original recordings. That said, the remastering I feel is still great because although increasing and improving the sound, the album does not lose any of the raw, beautiful tones that make this music so timeless. The CD booklet has over 18 pages of photographs and commentary and features a nice timeline showing each song and when it was recorded. Some of the hits I'm enjoying right now at a glance are Heartbreak Hotel, All shook up, She's not you, and the pop sensation "Suspicious minds". If you are new to the music of Elvis Presley or someone who grew up with his music, I don't feel you can go wrong with purchasing "30" at all. It's a sunny day outside and hearing these songs gives me that feeling of enjoying the sounds, message and persona that is Elvis Presley.

On the cover of Foreigner's newest collection, the letters that spell out Complete Greatest Hits are cut out from world currency. For example, there's an A from Antarctica, a T from Trinidad, an M from Mongolia, and so on. At least the drive behind this third greatest-hits compilation (fourth, if you count The Best of Foreigner Live) is clearly admitted. Still, if anyone deserves your money, an argument can be made for guitarist Mick Jones and singer Lou Gramm. They've been through it all, and along the way, they've written a slew of songs you know well enough to perform at karaoke (but never as well, admittedly--Lou has a hell of a voice). Whether you liked them when they rocked ("Cold as Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Juke Box Hero") or preferred the power ballads they were credited with inventing ("Waiting for a Girl Like You," "I Want to Know What Love Is"), this album makes it feel like the very first time again. --Laura Etling

Album Description

The complete greatest hits packs a single CD with 20 monster hit singles and airplay classics from 8 Foreigner albums released by Atlantic between 1977-1992. Includes radio staples 'Feels Like The First Time', 'Urgent', 'Waiting For A Girl Like You', 'Cold As Ice' and more! Remastered. 2002.

Customer Reviews:

Kind of Cheesy.......2007-07-04

I was just a so-so fan but thought that buying the collection might make me into an avid fan. Not so. The tunes are original and kind of catchy, but frankly the production quality is low. My 10 year old said, "What's wrong with the music?" because it just doesn't have the quality of current recordings. So I would stay away unless you are already a really big fan.

Solid Rock and Roll.......2007-07-03

Great compilation of Foreigner's stuff and just a great album to listen to. 1 1/4 hours of good rock. Even though it's pretty long, the listener has no trouble just putting it in the player and letting it go. No boring fill anywhere at all.

Fantastic Foreigner.......2007-05-25

This CD takes you back to the days of riding around in a car full of friends, circling the same old parking lots over and over looking for hot guys / gals and even hotter parties. Gotta love those early 80's...we were all HOT BLOODED!

Outstanding recording!.......2007-05-15

If you like Foreigner like I like Foreigner, than this collection is a must for you! The sound is clear, crisp and direct. The vocals are excellent and I find this CD enjoyable many times over. A great buy!

Amazon.com

In a sense, The Warmth of the Sun is to 2004's double-platinum Sounds of Summer as 1975's Spirit of America was to the previous year's chart-topping Endless Summer. Both Summer compilations feature the obvious hits, and their followups collect less famous--though still worthy--tracks like "Hawaii," "409," and "Little Honda." But the 21st-century collections are sequenced by the Beach Boys themselves, and that means this volume's songs are second-tier in fame only. The casual fan whose curiosity was piqued by Sounds of Summer and picks this up for "All Summer Long" will be captivated by Brian Wilson's stops on the road to Pet Sounds ("Kiss Me Baby," "Please Let Me Wonder," "Let Him Run Wild," "The Little Girl I Once Knew"), moved by the father-son collaboration "Break Away" (in many ways the Beach Boys' farewell to the '60s), and floored by a string of five songs from the early '70s--a few of which had their genesis in the ill-fated Smile project--that are a perfect showcase for the maturity the group, especially Brian and Carl, managed to attain less than a decade after penning "Pom Pom Play Girl" ("Surf's Up," "Feel Flows," "All This Is That," "'Til I Die," "Sail On, Sailor"). Taken together, these two volumes provide an extraordinary portrait of a band attempting to straddle popularity and artistic vision, spotlighting each facet just long enough to make you want more. (Collectors note: many of these songs appear in new stereo remixes--they may not be the original Brian Wilson productions as he heard them, but being able to distinctly make out the vibraphone in "Let Him Run Wild" is worth it.) --Benjamin Lukoff

Amazon.com

Compiled and sequenced by The Beach Boys themselves, The Warmth Of The Sun offers a rich view of the artistry and complex legacy of a band that has produced some of the most brilliant music of all time. This new career-spanning, 28-track collection illuminates much of The Beach Boys' most accomplished work. The Warmth Of The Sun is the perfect complement and companion to 2004's double-platinum Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys.

WOW IT'S GREAT TO SEE THIS CD. FIRST, THE SOUND IS THE BEST I EVER HARD. JUST LISTEN TO TO EACH SONGS. YOU CAN HEAR HOW THE BEACH BOYS MUSIC CHANGE THROUGH THE YEARS. THE BEACH BOYS REALLY WORKED HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES. OVER ALL, THIS IS A MUST HAVE CD FOR ALL THOSE BEACH BOYS FANS,AND NEW ONES TOO. GREAT JOB CAPITAL RECORDS

Lingering Summer Leftovers.......2007-06-30

The amazing thing about The Beach Boys' new collection `The Warmth of the Sun' is that they have any additional material to offer after the incredible `Sounds of Summer'. Generous like before, the twenty-eight songs, nevertheless, are a mixed bag. But if you've paid your dues like me, anyone can mix and match these two collections without having to wait for the perfect collection. Cynically, if they had taken out about five songs from `Sounds of Summer' and put in the best of `The Warmth of the Sun,' few would argue the best Beach Boys' collection could have been conceived without our own editing tools. Marketing wouldn't have it that way. Besides `The Warmth of the Sun' has plenty of accommodations in its own right.

How could we forget such essential numbers as the finale title track, "All Summer Long," the multi-layered "Catch a Wave," or the essential and primitive "409"? The rest of the nuggets are real or fool's gold, but the lesser material serves its own purpose. In the middle are pleasant numbers from "Kiss Me Baby" through most of the material up to "Cool, Cool Water". Pleasant, but often forgettable, many of these songs serve up a mellow Beach Boys' outing. Meant for the sand or the living room, these songs serve as snooze control during the siesta portions of summer. (In their defense, even the lesser numbers have excellent multi-layered harmonizing that can't be beat.) Not exactly a direct parallel, but the two collections almost split fast and slow like the Beatles' collections, `Rock and Roll Music' and `Love Songs'.

There are hidden gems along the way to be sure. The terrific little "Hawaii" and the catchy gem "Little Honda" continue the greatness from the beginning. We're kept alive and awake up to and concluding with the playful "It's okay." Much later "Break Away" and the obscure, but excellent "Sail on Sailor" shake us out of the summer nap that's been laid before us. Furthermore, "California Saga" is a nice rhythmic variation of "California Girls," and "Don't Go Near the Water" is a quirky, but impressive multi-layered appeal for environmental integrity. Their remakes are better than average, too. Brian Wilson being influenced by the girl groups The Shirelles and the Crystals, produces good alternative versions of "Then I Kissed Her" and "Why Do Fools Fall in Love". Near the end we are treated to a luxuriously produced tribute to fellow icons The Mamas and the Papas with their own "California Dreamin'".

`The Warmth of the Sun' is properly titled. Whether better suited for the I-Pod or MP3 player while lying on the sand is the luxury of choice. Just be aware that the C.D. can be dangerous if you're inordinately tired and stuck in traffic.

Very pleased.......2007-06-27

If you are a Beach Boys fan, this is worth listening to. I knew all the songs already, but it's great to hear them again in this format. Most of the songs were album cuts, so many people may not be familiar with them.
