Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A ROCK SOLID COMPILATION FOR PAT TRAVERS FANS.......2005-04-16

This is a great collection of tracks from a great underrated guitarist from toronto canada{he now resides in Florida}. This two cd collection compiles his best tracks from all his polydor albums 1976-84 included are all the songs he is most known for such as stevie, life in london, crash and burn, snortin' whiskey and i la la la love you. It also includes his great covers of hot rod lincoln and statesboro blues also not to be missed is his beautiful cover of jj cale's magnolia. Some of the best music of the mid seventies and early eighties lives again through this collection.

5 out of 5 stars Travers ROCKS!!!!!!!!.......2005-04-01

Man oh Man can this guy rip it up! Anyone familiar with Pat Travers knows exactly what I'm talking about. For the uninformed, this is a great place to start. CD Now would be wise to provide sound samples for these songs. After that, do pick up his "Live-Go For What You Know" and "Crash & Burn" discs. Which are both available here on CD Now and elsewhere.

This very extensive collection of 32 songs, digs deep from Pat's nine Polydor albums. The songs are in chronological order (always a plus in my book). Unlike the review above, I feel the song selection does a great job of representing Pat's tenure on Polydor Records (although I would have liked a few more songs from Heat In The Street and Radio Active and had this collection fully utilized the 80 minute capacity per disc, this could have been achieved).

The sound quality of this collection is simply awesome. They did a fine job of remastering these songs (unlike the Majestic Rock reissues of Pat's 1st 4 Polydor albums -of which Majestic has promised me that they are in the process of obtaining new DAT masters to re-manufacture these titles).

The packaging is also simply stunning! A tri-fold digi-pak and 16 page booklet loaded with pictures (many of which I have never seen before) and very informative linear notes.

Oh, and as I said before;
CD Now would be wise to provide sound samples for these songs.
