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

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.

This Witchy Woman Loves this Album.......2007-06-05

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. I know this desperado type witchy woman does as she sips her tequila sunrise just before she takes it to the limit.

Eagles Rock.......2007-05-13

I love, love, love this CD. I will treasure it forever. It has all the songs I love and wanted to hear. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great Eagles collection. The Eagles Rock!

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.

Best Ever.......2007-02-10

This will probably become my favorite CD ever. I was wild about the Eagles' music as a kid, and I still love it!! I am so glad that I bought this CD.

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!

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.

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!

The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac.......2006-05-13

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.

Mom

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).

"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!

Kicking off A&M's ambitious Cat Stevens reissue program is this 20-song introduction. The set surveys all of Stevens's stages, from the orchestrated late-1960s sides through his early-'70s peak to his more eclectic late-1970s experiments. Following the progression makes for an interesting endeavor as Stevens learns to harness his ambitious ideas with arrangements that don't obscure his rhapsodic messages. Few artists of his generation were more gifted when it came to plucking timeless melodies out of thin air, and his sumptuous voice was always able to movingly convey his bittersweet lyrics. As a career overview (including one previously unreleased cut) this set achieves its goal, hitting all of the chart successes along the way and basically defining his role as a sensitive '70s singer-songwriter, but some fans may opt for the classic early-'70s studio records, which find Stevens at his most consistently touching. --Marc Greilsamer

Why can't we just enjoy the music for what it is? Just music........2007-07-05

I really enjoyed the music on this cd and consider it one of my favorite cds. This collection needs Sad Lisa and a couple of other songs maybe. It is disturbing to see some of the reviews that focus on the political/religious side of the artist. Do you really aggree with the politics or religion of everyone you listen to?

Best of Cat Stevens.......2007-06-08

After year of harboring a foolish grudge regarding his change of religion & some untoward comments by him over the
Iranian hostages, I finally relented. This is good stuff!

The Very Best of Cat Stevens.......2007-05-14

I still remember the impact Cat Stevens' music, and especially lyrics, had on me in my college days. I still enjoy those early performances, not just for the nostalgia, but because they still have much to say and they still move me. If you have just one CD by this ageless performer, this is the one to have.

THE VERY BEST.......2007-05-12

HAD LOOK IN EVERY STORE AND NEVER COULD FINE IT.
IT,S BY FARE THE VERY BEST OF THE CAT.
THANK'S AGAIN

Take the bad with the good.......2007-05-07

This emphasizes that Cat Stevens' career didn't genrate all that much hit-worthy material. There's some really good stuff here, but only half the material is listenable. I'd have been better off just to have bought "Teaser and the Firecat".

With a career that's seen her soar from struggling journeywoman to superstar via a fateful invitation to join Fleetwoood Mac, the singer who now bills herself as the most successful female artist in rock history looks back on the various facets of her iconography with this 16-track career retrospective and its accompanying DVD. The mystic-folkie ethos that has long been her caricature are well showcased via the cult fave Rumours outtake/B-side "Silver Spring," the muscular Sheryl Crow collaboration "Sorcerer," and a live version of the moody "Rhiannon" that casts it in even longer shadows. Yet Stevie Nicks has always displayed a willingness to push herself beyond her hippie muse, as witnessed by the dense aura of Deep Dish's remix of Mac's "Dreams" and such disparate, pop-savvy solo highlights as "I Can't Wait," "Stand Back," and shrewd, successful duets with Tom Petty ("Stop Draggin' My Heart Around") and Don Henley ("Leather and Lace"). Indeed, bookended by the original version of the hit "Edge of Seventeen" and a live revamping with the Melbourne Symphony that amps its every melodramatic nuance, reinvention often seems the anthology's subtext. The included DVD compiles 13 of Nicks's evocative videos with new commentary by her, as well as an insightful, previously unreleased home video shot during the Bella Donna sessions. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

How beloved is Stevie Nicks? All six of her original solo albums, spanning 1981-2001, plus two "best of" collections,have been certified at least gold. With rock's superstar chanteuse about to go back on the road after guesting on Tom Petty's Highway Companion tour, Crystal Visions... covers her entire solo career for the first time in a CD+DVD package. Featured are several previously unreleased live tracks on the CD, as well as Stevie's voice-over commentary for each video and her artwork on the DVD. Crystal Visions...The Best Of Stevie Nicks is exactly that.

Customer Reviews:

Still the Best!.......2007-07-17

As with anything Stevie Nicks - I eagerly awaited the arrival of "Crystal Visions", and it doesnt disappoint.

Although some of the songs have been covered before in the Enchanted Enchanted: The Works of Stevie Nickscollection, the extra features included in this set are well worth the purchas - Including audio from her Melbourne concert in January 2006.

As for the DVD - there is clips and concert footage that I hadnt seen before that I am now very happy to have in my collection.

Great Value for Money.......2007-07-12

It is worth the money for the DVD alone! I have all her cd's and all her videos including the ones in concert with and without Fleetwood Mac so I was really skeptical about getting something new with this cd/dvd compilation. It wasn't until I checked out the reviews from Amazon that i realized she added her own personal commentary on her videos. it is SOOOOO worth it for that alone! She cracked me up! Totally unepected. I was pleasantly surprised at how she absolutely does NOT take herself too seriously. so even if you have all her previous cd's, and dvd's. please consider getting this. there is definitely NEW material here. The makings of Belladonna were revealing too. really really good stuff here.

Excellent!.......2007-07-05

An excellent compilation of the greatest hits. If your a "new" fan looking to hear some of the more popular songs from this artist--here's a one-stop shop! Great sound quality on the "live" songs.

You Gotta Love Stevie!.......2007-07-04

Stevie Nicks is my all time greatest female vocalist. I loved this CD. The DVD disk that accompanies it is a real bonus! At the end of the DVD were the best clips...Stevie in the recording studio just being Stevie. You really got to see her at her most natural. I thought adding those video clips were a great treat for her fans. I did miss Beauty and the Beast though...I wish she would have included that song in this collection.

A Great Retrospective Collection.......2007-06-30

The CD is fabulous, of course, but the real surprise was the DVD. If you watch the videos with the commentary on it's a real treat. Stevie gives us an insight into what was going on in her life at the time each of the videos were made and she does so with a sincerity and self-effacing sense of humor. Very nice. I was fortunate enough to have caught this tour in Norfolk and I will forever treasure the experience in my memory. Every track is a hit. I just don't see any talent like this out there on the scene today. There will never be another Stevie Nicks. Great stuff.

Rod Stewart's career has been subject to so many twists that a single-disc overview is somehow both appealingly broad and inadequate to the task of tracing all those zigzags. From beloved rocker of the first order to disco dilettante to pop crooner, Stewart's career has presented challenges to fans who may have been charmed by the rollickingly randy "Maggie May" and bemused by the alarmingly narcissistic "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" This 16-song retrospective touches all the bases without delving deeply into any era. The selections aren't arranged sequentially and the booklet is much more generous with vintage photos than album credits. This best-of collection is clearly aimed at the casual fan, but no album that presents Rod the Mod gems "Downtown Train," "You Wear It Well," and "Reason to Believe" one after another is a throwaway. --Steven Stolder

This compilation repeats seven tracks from 1988's Money For Nothing anthology. Given that Mark Knopfler and crew have recorded one new album during the decade between best-of collections, how different could Sultans of Swing be? For one thing, CD dominance has made for longer compilations, and this one is fleshed out by singles, three tracks from 1991's On Every Street, and Knopfler's solo "Local Hero" theme, performed live. More importantly, the second track here is the band's terrific second single, "Lady Writer," previously only available on the otherwise dismal Communiqué LP. Five tracks from Dire Straits' huge Brothers in Arms LP appear here, but only two tracks surface from Making Movies, the group's pinnacle achievement. Ultimately, if you own Making Movies and this compilation, you own the essential Dire Straits. --Bill Holdship

Customer Reviews:

Sultan Schmultan.......2007-06-10

This work has there more famous hits, and a bunch of secondary ones if you ask me. Stick to their first album. Good tunes, but they start to sound lot alike after awhile.

Great Band, so-so Collection.......2007-03-04

While this was as good a compilation of Dire Straits as you could find for a time, the recent "Private Investigations: The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler" ups the ante for two reasons. First and foremost, on that 2-disc collection, the Dire Straits songs are included in their full length versions (edited versions are here for "Money For Nothing" in particular), and the live cuts - especially "Love Over Gold" - are replaced with studio versions. Since Dire Straits were always a product of studio perfections and the belief that great things last longer than 4 minutes, losing almost half of "Money For Nothing" just isn't acceptable.

Secondly, the "Private Investigations" set has its second disc devoted to the best of Mark Knopfler's solo career. Since that was madly uneven, it beats his spotty solo albums. Here, "Local Hero" is the only solo track, and again in a live version.

While I have long been a fan of Dire Straits ("Love Over Gold" and "Brothers In Arms" were the two CD's I often used to show off - gawd I'm Getting Old - the brand new CD player and its spanking new technology), "Sultans Of Swing - The Very Best Of" under represents the band. On the other hand, "Private Investigations" leaves off "Heavy Fuel" and the goofy "Twisting By The Pool." That was the first time Knopfler showed off his sense of humor prior to (the also missing) "Industrial Disease." ("Private Investiagtions" also completely ignores the "Communique" album).

I have a few personal favorites here. The shock of hearing "Sultans Of Swing" during the period of all things Clash or Sex Pistols has never worn off. As a calling card of Mark Knofler as new guitar hero, it remains very hard to beat. The Noir detective tale of "Private Investigations" has long affected me, as has the call for understanding of "Brothers In Arms." My personal favorite missing songs are "Skateaway" and "The Bug." But since they appear on neither collection, maybe Knopfler isn't too keen on them, either.

So while you may finds yourself drawn to the more expansive collection, if you're a casual listener, "Sultans Of Swing" will do ok. Just be aware that the two songs you probably most want here are trimmed from their LP versions. If you are really interested in them, starting with the debut album or the still incredible "Brothers In Arms" is an even better bet than this particular Dire Straits best of.

That's what I call music.......2007-02-03

Although not a Dire Straights loyal fun, when I heard this CD I realised what makes this band so special. It's not only the classic quality rock tunes, nor the deep and warm texture of the lead vocals. This CD rocks because you literally feel the songs. The quitar inputs and the general orchestration of this collection are simply exquisite, the melodies so symmetrically beautiful that you keep repeating the song inside you even when you're not listening to it. My favourite track is the 'Tunnel of love', so full of youth and nostalgia, I almost cry when I replay it, over and over again.
Do not hesitate. This is good rock material.

The Best of Dire Straits.......2007-01-10

The case was broken, other than that everything is fine.

Best dire straits........2006-12-26

I was a dire straits fan for several years. i have all their cds. i even have all their lps too and one of their cassettes and 45s. i have it all.
this is where i began when i was first a fan to dire straits back in may 2002. my dad introduced me to mark knopfler and i liked him a lot. he was a great guitar player and singer too he can sing really well. this is very good for beginners who want good taste in music. this has all the great songs.sultans of swing,lady writer,tunnel of love,money for nothing,calling elvis,and heavy fuel are maybe all the greatest songs this compilation has. there are a few bad songs on this,private investigations isn't a song at all,it puts me to sleep and there could have been better choices like telegraph road or industrial disease. another bad song could probably brothers in arms,ooh man that song makes me cry because it is a song about war.and the live tracks arent that great i wish those were removed from this.romeo and juliet was great for a while then got tired of that! go ahead.most of the songs are really good,get this with mark knopfler's sailing to philadelphia,ragpickers dream,golden heart and love over gold. recommended.

Has all of the good ones!.......2007-04-28

This one is perfect if you are looking for all of The Police & Stings best hits!

Truly Classic in every sense of the word!.......2007-03-01

I grew up listening to the band "The Police" and always liked the different pop sound and songwriting they did. Although in later years I myself did not follow Sting's solo albums much, I had to pick this up. This album has all the classic songs like "Message in a bottle" and "Roxanne". This album does show you that Sting WAS the Police, because I don't know how else the band could even keep that name without him. Other great songs like the mystical "Walking on the Moon" and the famous super hit "Every breath you take" are also on here. From what this fan can tell, this is maybe the best single CD "best of" if you don't already have the boxed set "Message in a box: The complete recordings". The nice thing is that on this CD you have some of Sting's own wonderful songs like "Fields of Gold". All I can say, if you liked the Police, Sting on his own or both I think this album is a must have for any fan.

Sting is King!.......2007-01-13

This has to be the best music CD I have ever owned. Sting has an incredible voice. All of his songs tell stories. I especially enjoy "Don't Stand So Close To Me". It is the story of a male teacher being subtlely seduced by a girl in his classroom, but he resists the urge to satisfy her desires. That is the way of life. There is always that impulsive feeling to do what one would like to do even though it would be a huge mistake to do so. Stories like that were clearly made possible by Sting's Catholic faith. Everyone should listen to this album. It is so romantic. Sting sang from the heart. It's obvious that he was in love during the making of this album.

Great CD.......2006-11-03

This is a great CD for Sting and Police fans. Highly recommended.

The Electric Light Orchestra were one of the biggest and most successful bands of the late 1970s, producing a massive string of hit singles and albums that almost any other band would envy. Their works have been cited as influences by such hip acts as Grandaddy and Super Furry Animals. Their frontman and leader Jeff Lynne has been the producer of choice for people like Paul McCartney, Tom Petty and George Harrison. From "Evil Woman", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Mr Blue Sky" to "Livin' Thing" and "Hold On Tight", there are few duds amongst these 20 remastered tracks. ELO produced some of the biggest and best singles in rock & roll's history, and All Over The World: The Very Best Of ELO is an excellent reintroduction to this great band. Hopefully, this also signals the beginning of a long-overdue revival and re-evaluation. --Robert Burrow

NOT A BAD GREATEST HITS COMPILATION ALBUM ON ONE CD........2007-07-07

I will be writing a review on the legendary greatest hits compilation album entitled "THE VERY BEST OF ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA (ELO), ALL OVER THE WORLD" by one of Rock's all-time greatest bands ever. I give you one of Britain's pride and joy's and one of Birmingham, England's favorite sons, E-L-E-C-T-R-I-C L-I-G-H-T O-R-C-H-E-S-T-R-A! This legendary compilation album was originally released in 2005 on Compact Disc on the Epic / Legacy Records label which is manufactured and distributed by Epic Records, a division of Sony BMG Music Entertainment Ltd. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA (ELO) will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for composing and recording some of Rock's all-time greatest sacred anthems ever. When guitarist Jeff Lynne met up and joined forces with lead vocalist and frontman Roy Wood, bassist Rick Price and drummer Bev Bevan, ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA would be born with the same traditional music sound values like that of ELO'S most favorite band and idol's, THE BEATLES. When ELO was formed in 1970, Jeff Lynne made it perfectly clear that the band's intentions were to pick up where THE BEATLES classic anthem "I Am The Walrus" left off. ELO composed and recorded some great legendary hit songs and albums through the years during the period of 1973 to 2001. Listening to all of their hit songs, it is clearly evident in which you can actually feel THE BEATLES influence in this legendary band. In my opinion, had THE BEATLES stayed together from 1970 to 2001, ELO would have sounded in comparison just like THE FAB FOUR. And if that wasn't enough, ELO were actually one of the early pioneers to present their legendary concert performances with their rare breathtaking and explosive vibrant light and laser displays along with their massive flying saucer stage sets. Which now brings me to the legendary greatest hits compilation album I'm about to review for all of you today. "THE VERY BEST OF ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA (ELO), ALL OVER THE WORLD" chronicles and highlights the majority of ELO'S greatest hit songs from the 1973 to 2001 period. In my opinion, this legendary compilation album is without a doubt, a true testament of the brilliance and musical creativity of four masterminded genius'. This legendary compilation album is also a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time. This album is the tales in the life and world of ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA, their music is their story that speaks for itself.

It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of ELO to speak for itself and back it up musically as it was originally truly intended to be heard and listened to. "THE VERY BEST OF ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA, ALL OVER THE WORLD" from 2005 begins with the incredible upbeat Rocker "Mr. Blue Sky," the forever ELO stamped trademark Rocker, "Evil Woman," the forever blistering ELO stamped trademark Rocker, "Don't Bring Me Down," this legendary anthem is a perfect example of how beautifully and harmoniously classical orchestrated music blends with Rock n' Roll as THE BEATLES forever proved it, "Sweet Talkin' Woman," the breathtaking orchestrated Hard Rocker "Shine A Little Love," the amazing synthesized and orchestrated Rocker "Turn To Stone," the breakthrough synthesized and orchestrated mild Rocker "The Diary Of Horace Wimp," the beautifully slow/medium acoustic Rocker "Confusion," the groundbreaking synthesized Rocker with the feelings and sounds bringing back the true spirit of the fifties, "Hold On Tight," the beautifully arranged orchestrated Rocker "Livin' Thing," the beautifully slow mindblowing sounds and special effects mild Rocker, "Telephone Line," the unforgettable orchestrated ans synthesized Rock anthem "All Over The World," the beautifully slow sounding orchestrated synthesized Rocker "Wild West Hero," the slow and smooth orchestrated Rocker "Showdown," the a*s kicking ELO stamped trademark orchestrated Hard Rocker "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle," the original genuine Rockin' version that was also recorded by OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN, "Xanadu," the slow teaser erupting into a a*s kicking, explosive Hard orchestrated Rocker, "Rockaria," the beautifully slow and soothing orchestrated mild Rocker, "Strange Magic," the merciless synthesized Hard Rocker "Alright" and the fast and energetic synthesized Rocker "Rock And Roll Is King." May I also add that the music track recording arrangements on all of these great hit songs were layed down perfectly. I would also like to commend ELO on their most beautiful harmony vocals. Their singing sounded so refreshing and heavenly.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary greatest hits compilation album for everyone of all ages to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. If you love THE BEATLES, you will love this album. This priceless gem has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. There are also many other ELO greatest hits compilation albums that you might want to check out and research further into before you make your final decision. In doing this, you will have found the best album that is right for you and suits your music tastes and needs. When this is accomplished, you will have also taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA music collection. You can do all of your researches and album purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store.

In closing, despite changing numerous band personnel in the late 70's and throughout the 80's, ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA would still successfully continue in delighting their fans with their legendary albums and concert tours to highly critically acclaim for many more years up to the very day when the band officially disbanded in 1988. Prior to 1988, from 1987 onwards, Jeff Lynne has become one of the world's most sought after in-demand songwriter and producer, successfully collaborating and producing with legendary artists as well as personal friends such as the late great George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, the late great Roy Orbison, Del Shannon, Tom Petty and Brian Wilson. Lynne was also a member of the legendary Grammy-award winning band THE TRAVELING WILBURIES. It seems to me that Jeff Lynne keeps himself pretty busy and active in the music world. With all of this in mind, ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA has forever left their place and mark in Rock n' Roll history and their many contributions, accomplishments and achievements will never be forgotten or denied. So here's to you Jeff, Roy, Rick and Bev. Thanks for the great memories and moments. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA FOREVER! Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock, John L.

A GREAT ALBUM.......2007-06-28

THIS IS AN ALBUM NAMED "OUT OF THE BLUE." IT'S A GREAT ALBUM. YOU MUST GET IT . IT'S FANTASTIC! "STARLIGHT" AND "MR BLUE SKY" ARE GREAT SONGS, AND "SWEET TALKING WOMAN" IS SUPER TOO. HEY WHAT ABOUT "TURN TO STONE" AND "ITS OVER?" THEY'RE AWESOME ALSO.



I LIKE THE WEIRD SOUNDS AT THE BEGINNING OF "STARLIGHT" AND "SUMMER AND LIGHTNING." ALSO, "STARLIGHT" HAS A GREAT LINE THAT SAYS 'STARLIGHT, YOUR EYES ARE LOOKING DOWN ON ME.' "JUNGLE" IS ALSO A PRETTY GOOD SONG.



SEE YOU SOON. BYEBYE.

Quit.......2007-05-27

crying about the couple or three songs this album doesn't contain for ***** sake its a single cd. would you like them to include the whole ELO library? heres a thought stop being so cheap and go buy a another set which includes the songs that you cant live without or better yet put the cd in play it and be happy. That being said this is a very good collection. Thank You.

Greatest hits is a hit.......2007-03-30

If you love ELO then you will love this compilation.

A NICE COLLECTION OF ELO HITS, I WISH THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOME ODD HITS FOR A CHANGE................2007-01-16

Nice overseen remastering job by Jeff Lynn. With the exception of the new version of "Xanadu"(I wish it was the 1980 version with Olivia Newton John), the song list is pretty nice. This sampling of ELO hits is a great way for a new ELO fan to start an ELO collection. Nice linear notes by Jeff. Again as with all the ELO greatest hits and ELO box sets there are favorite songs missing. Best bet by all the Epic /Legacy remastered ELO cd releases, but if you just want one disc full of hits this disc is a nice edition to have. I wish "Look At Me Now", "Dreaming Of 4000" and a few more ELO oddities were on this collection I know these are two odd songs that are not known as ELO greatest hits material but it would have added a little different curriculum to this latest ELO greatest hits release. I still enjoyed the listen it brought brought back alot of memories. While I listened to this ELO greatest hits collection cd, as usual I cracked an ELO smile. Recommended listening...............
