Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Made me a fan of the Guess Who All Over Again.......2001-12-16

This is a really great collection, although I enjoy the first disk more than the second. Randy Bachman's There's no getting away from you is fabulous. It ranks up there with some of their moody lesser known gems, compositions such as The Answer- it's one of their best. You have a great variety of pop songs on this collection as well as covers and earlier versions of songs that were re-recorded on American Woman & Canned Wheat. These earlier versions are for the most part at least as good if not better than the later versions. The warped Pretty Blue Eyes is as funny as anything you ever heard - sung through a megaphone along with a Walter Brennan type of narration, topped off by a drunken sounding trombone solo ala Dylan's Rainy Day Woman or Kristofferson's I may drink too much. You have to hear it to believe it. There are only three misses - The Feliciano-version Light My Fire and White Room don't have the right feel or sound. The earlier version of Friends of Mine is brutal - RCA must have wisely forced Cummings to tone down/delete the lyrics about infanticide and incest. Still I'll give him credit - he outdid Jim Morrison with his outrageous lyrics. This collection is absolute fun, and is a prime example of why this highly underrated band was the best thing that ever came out of Canada. Just buy it damn it!

4 out of 5 stars Finally........2001-08-10

I bought this album a week before the opening night of their American Woman Tour to get myself in the mood for the show. I'm a big fan of the band, but until this album, was disappointed we didn't have a rarities album like other bands from that era. And now it's here..

I gave the disc 4 stars, but that's really because the second disc in the set redeems the first. An interesting lok at the band in its renaissance after Chad Allen left, but aside from the odd Pretty Blue Eyes and the amazingly adept Sitar Saga, there isn't all that much spectacular stuff. Until disc 2. Starting with two versions of the Doors' Light My Fire, and rolling through a number of alternate versions of future album tracks, from These Eyes to 6am or Nearer, and a remarkable White Room, It really shows how the band grew into what we have today. This disc makes the set well worth it.
