Best...
Album..
Ever.
Im 19 and THIS is my desert island disc
enough said
An utter steal
For less than seven quid, this album is just a fantastic steal. Thirty seven tracks including all the hits and a couple of what, in reality, are lesser known gems.
As others have said, the track order is a little screwy, though it does encourage you to listen through a disc and not just cherry pick with programming. Not that that's too much of a privation in all honesty, because there is surprisingly little filler on there.
My one, tiny peeve is that the unutterably wonderful 'Bluebird' from Secret Messages doesn't merit a place on this collection (I certainly prefer it to Getting to the Point, for example). But you can't have everything.
Great song selections - crazy order
I agree with other reveiwers who have been impressed with the content of this double CD set. Certainly all of the best known hits are here. However I would have liked the inclusion of a few personal favorites such as 'Big Wheels' from Out of the Blue and 'One summer dream' from Face the music. My only real criticism is the track ordering which seems to jump around between different eras randomly. It's usually best to stick to a straight forward chronological order. For instance 10538 Overture and Roll over Beethoven need to be up near the beginning with Ma Ma Ma Belle and Can't get it out of my head - rather than towards the end of CD2. Another preference would have been fewer 7" edits - which works for some tracks but not others. I suppose this would have recquired a third CD to achieve. All in all good listening and great to be transported back to the 70s and 80s.
