Customer Reviews

A magnificent introduction to Van
If you've only heard odd songs from the master then this could be the double album for you. And it's exceptionally good value with so many classic tracks. Be wary though because once you've listened to some of the classics featured here, you'll be flashing the credit card to buy up his back catalogue. If like me you've a stack of Van already in your collection then there is no real need to buy this one.

Another Gem from the Belfast Cowboy....
Agree with everything said here already. However if you plan on getting his back catalogue, don't leave it too long as loads of his albums are no longer in CD production. You may see these from £50 -£200 on EBay!! So you have been warned.
Also don't forget there is a 3-CD version of this Greatest Hits (Special edition)- for the sake of a few pounds more - get that one instead. It has the same cover.

No Astral Weeks???!!!!!!???!!!!
Don't get me wrong, there are some fantastic songs on this set, but to completely miss out what is arguably and certainly critically the man's best work is inexplicable. Surely 'Sweet Thing' could have replaced that terrible duet with Cliff Richard for starters. Even the box set version doesn't have any songs from his most famous album, it's baffling. Nice to have the addition of 'Crazy Love' which was missing from the 80's Best Of, but that's still a stronger collection. It's a much better idea to get all the albums from Astral Weeks to Veedon Fleece. They're all essential and you'll no doubt buy them after hearing this collection anyway, so save yourself some money and time.
