Free Music Notes for Original Bad Company Anthology
Free Music Review: Nice Overview
Hit: 4 Stars
I was interested in knowning more about this classic rock band. I bouth this collection a long time ago and I must say that is very complete and comprehensive on the band work. It contains the hits and lesser known tracks and it does a good job on providing a nice overview of the band and the music.I recommend this CD to anybody interested on Bad Company
Free Music Review: Almost Complete!
Hit: 5 Stars
Very good collection. Would like to have seen Don't Let Me Down, The Way I Choose, Young Blood, Gone Gone Gone and Electricland. I am a huge fan, but I don't think the original band would have converted over to the video age very well, so they quit just in time.Free Music Review: A Must Have Re-mastered Collection!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow! If your wondering if Bad Company should be in your collection, don't pass up on this one. It has all their most popular songs and some you rarely hear but should. None of their other cds match-up to this...Don't Miss Out, Buy This One!!Free Music Review: Great sound, but missing some tracks
Hit: 4 Stars
This compilation was a long time coming, but well worth the wait. The previous Bad Company "hits" compilation simply cannot hold a candle to this Anthology. In addition to the generous helping of 33 songs (compared to the 10 [obviously] tracks on "10 from 6"), the remastering job brings new life to classic tunes such as "Can't Get Enough" and "Feel Like Makin' Love" -- they have never sounded better. On "10 From 6" these tracks all sounded muddy. I only have one complaint about the mastering -- there is still a fair amount of tape hiss evident, particularly at the beginning of some of the more quiet songs (such as "Rock Steady" and "Bad Company"). I guess that's what can happen when working with recordings almost 30 years old.
Remastering aside, this is still a 4-star collection because of the omission of some of Bad Company's chart hits. With so much extra room on these discs, it's amazing that tracks such as "Young Blood" (which reached #20 on the Pop charts in 1976) and "Gone, Gone, Gone" (which reached #56 in 1979) were left off. In fact, 2 tracks from "10 From 6" are missing (the excellent "Live For The Music" and "Electricland"), yet were definitely worthy of inclusion.
Finally, as the title "Original Bad Company Anthology" implies, this set includes tracks only from the Paul Rodgers days. Bad Company fans from the late 1980s and early 1990s will be disappointed to learn that there are no tracks from "Dangerous Age", "Holy Water" or "Here Comes Trouble", when the band was arguably at the height of its commercial popularity. The tunes on these discs also deserve a remastering job -- and I remain hopeful that a "Second Generation Bad Company Anthology" containing tracks from the Brian Howe years is forthcoming.
For now, this the best that you can get of Bad Company. Unless, of course, you are a huge fan of the group -- in which case you probably have all of the original albums which were remastered in 1994. Happy listening!
Free Music Review: Not Bad
Hit: 4 Stars
Not much of a Bad company fan, of the orginal, anyway. But this CD, shows their strenghts, and some of their weakness. Alot of their songs tend to start to sound the same, which gets tiresome. A little long in songs, could have cut out some dead weight, and made the cd 10 or so songs shorter. But over all not bad. Good to hear the songs remastered.
