A Phlat compilation of Greatest Hits.......2007-01-20

This Greatest Hits Album of Procol Harum has not impressed me. All the songs are there, but are really two-dimensional. Its as if they had been cut from some demo tracts and are devoid of PH's lead ins, background sounds, and depth. I got this album almost principally for their great song Conquistidor and was really dispointed with it - no big horn, no orchestra sound. It may be the band didn't leave great cuts behind after disbanding, but that's pretty hard to believe. You will certainly hear all the greatest hits, but if you are after great sounding album look somewhere else.

Great Music - But a Bit Dated.......2006-01-23

I remember seeing Procol Harum at the Fillmore East when they were at their prime. It was during the height of psychadelia, and they blew the audience away. Their mixture of classical, jazz, and pop, along with lyrics that were beautiful but cryptic were perfect.

The music, at its best, is still great. Unfortunately, some of their later material just doesn't seem to stand the test of time. If I were to do it over, I would probably get their first album, with that wonderful cover, instead of this greatest hits collection. However, this is CD is worth the money and nice selection from a classic rock group.

This is Getting Ridiculous..........2004-04-18

Why can't anyone compile a decent "Best Of" CD for this great band? Well, probably because most of these incompetent "record execs" have been raised on crap music, and don't know enough about Procol Harum to handle the task. The fact that no one seems to be able to put this band's 10 or 12 classic songs onto one disc makes it clear as to why the record biz is in trouble, and it's not from downloading. It's overpricing and bad staffing, pure and simple. The songs that are here are just fine, but this disc is lacking.

slightly disappointing best of.......2002-12-22

there's too much from the first album and not enough from the second, if you're going to have a 19 track anthology, i guess you shouldn't have about half of it come from the first record, as strong a record as it was nonwithstanding. i'd have liked to have seen skip softly my moonbeams, lime street blues,simple sister, grand hotel, and a long gone geek. i guess they couldn't put post 1970 recordings and there is a weird version of one of the very greatest procul harum tracks- the moving, stately, and just plain brilliant QUITE RIGHTLY SO. a whiter shade of pale and a salty dog are wonderful numbers, but this one belongs in the procul harum hierarchy as well. thgis band was one of the very earliest , and best art rock or classical rock bands, though they also delved into r and b type stuff, psychedelia, and much more. this collection is good, but it is incomplete. you'd probably be better off with a different best of, or, if you are a big procul harum fan, you might want to shell out for the 3 cd westside collection, which features many unreleased cuts, b-sides and alternative takes, as well as their first four albums- procul harum, shine on brightly, a salty dog, and home. this was one of the bands from england that , although commercially successful, somehow wound up being quite underrated. gary brooker and matthew fisher were excellent piano and organ players, and brooker's vocals are very effective. the band's lyricist keith reid's dylan influenced lyrics would perhaps be called by some, but i find them interesting, quirky, and distinctive. bassist david knights makes solid contributions, particularly on my aforementioned favorite track quite righly so, and drummer b.j. wilson was also good, in fact, he was jimmy page's original choice for that post in led zeppelin. fisher and wilson also played on joe cocker's debut with other noteworthy english rock players. and robin trower was a talented and intriguing guitarist who later went on to solo success. procul harum's music from the late 60's/early 70's remains interesting , enlightening, and fresh today.

BACK TO THE FUTURE.......2002-12-17

... I thought that anything that was compared, in signifcance, to the Guttenberg Press ought to be worthy of further investigation.

I had been a casual fan of Procol Harum during my youth (the 60's) but I was not overly familiar with their music. Although, I had always felt that their tunes 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' and 'Shine on Brightly' to be, perhaps, two of the finest examples 60's explorative rock. I must admit to never having owned a single disc of theirs. As a matter of fact, I do not believe that until very recently I had ever listened to one of Procol Harum's albums in it's entirety.

... I picked up this disc only to realize just how great a band they were. For the most part, this disc is utterly brilliant from beginning to end musically and lyrically. The scale of the sound, the sheer surrealistic brilliance of the lyrics and the extraordinary depth of emotions therein left be stunned, elated and emotionally electrified. This is, simply, one of the great bands of all time. A stellar example of what popular music can be but seldom is.

'Shine On'

Good place to start for newbies.......2004-06-29

POSITIVE: If you're a casual fan or only vaguely familiar with Berlin, this is a great primer. It's affordable, concise and has all the hits.

NEGATIVE: I'm not real big on remixes and this album is loaded with them, but for you that may be a plus. Obviously tracks 5-12 are remixes (but what of?). Tracks 1-4 are NOT the original recordings, they are re-recordings. Maybe not a big deal to you but I prefer the originals.

Phenomenal and Inspiring!!!!.......2005-01-29

This was one of the first albums I heard from Crystal Lewis, and it's made me a believer in the genuineness of her faith and practice. She is a true songstress in what the title means. She not only has applied her gift and abilities, she has dedicated it the One who died for her and rose again - even Christ Jesus.

The songs on this album gravitate between the upbeat to the traditional to the sacred, and it's a great mix from one to the other. I liked "Shine, Jesus, Shine," and the intro to this one was marvelous, like many of the other intros. Then there's the powerhouse "I Know My Redeemer Lives," and "Come Just as You Are," as well as others.

An incredible collection, and I'm on my way to "discovering" what I've been missing in my collection for quite some time- additional Crystal Lewis recordings, to the glory of God.

Highly recommended!!!

This is unbelievably BAD!.......2002-03-22

My advice to every single fan of Jive Bunny and the Master Mixers is to AVOID this particular CD. Taken from a time when the name "Jive Bunny" bounced from production team to production team via various record labels, this shambolic effort only cheapens what was once a very successful chart act. Because it's so unbelievably BAD, you'd be hard pushed to associate this with any other Jive Bunny release. Basically, this TERRIBLE compilation focuses on (mainly) British pop hits from the year 2000. The choice of tracks used are genuine HITS, but it's the 'sound-a-likes' that are used to re-create these songs which makes the album ABYSMAL. The only way to describe the quality of these (ahem!) singers is to imagine the WORST karaoke singers imagineable, but only after they're very, VERY drunk. If these uncredited vocalists weren't ashamed of the end results, they damn well should be! The mixing qualities also leave a lot to be desired, and those responsible should hang their heads in SHAME if they ever call themselves production mixers again. Only to be bought if you're interested in purchasing the entire Jive Bunny back catalogue to complete the set. Otherwise, avoid this like the plague!!

Jon.

All her music is "GOLD".......2003-04-04

I have admired Crystal Lewis since she stared on Nickelodeon's TV show "Roundhouse". One of my fav songs from the show is "I Can Dream". When the show canceled I thought all I had to enjoy Crystal's voice was the recorded tapes I had made of the show.
I then discovered that she was performing for a Christian Crusade at "Knott's Berry Farm" in California. I jumped at the chance to see her live, but due to circumstances out of my control I never got to see her perform. In exchange I bought every CD I could afford (I was 14 at the time) not even knowing a single track on any of them.

It's now 8 years later and 8 albums added to my collection (and growing), and I feel like she has been a part of my life since my teen years. Her music has been growing right along with me. I've enjoyed her music with my friends, my sister, my mother, and even my grandmother (she's not the biggest modern music fan but likes some of Crystal's work).

Try her CD's they soothe, excite, grow, and never get old.

My Favorite songs from her are:

-Gold
-Only Fools (the original and the new version on "fearless")
-Amazing Grace (avail. on "The Bride" & "Greatest Hits" - her version is the best I've ever heard!)
-In Return
and so many more I can't name.

I just wish she would come and perform in the bay area - I yet have had a chance to see her live!!!
