Free Music Review: a cd worth of good stuff, a cd worth of tripe
Hit: 3 Stars
I've been a fan of Michael Schenker since UFO's "Phenomenon" and still think his playing is phenomenal! While this two disc release does do a very good job of representing the best of a broad and quite erratic recording career, the fact is that much of this is simply not very good.
Yes, it's nice to get the two rare early UFO cuts and some of the other live and alternate versions of various songs. But that totals maybe one cd worth of material. I'd have rathered that "Phenomenon" had gotten a better remastering job with the two early UFO songs as bonus cuts.
The rest of this stuff, primarily his 80's MSG output, just doesn't measure up. It's certainly not the high point of his career. While Schenker continues to be wildly erratic, he's certainly put out much better music (in spots) since '95 than a lot of this.
Buy it if you're a completist and don't already have the rarities, otherwise it's awfully expensive for one cd of good (even great!) material and one cd of filler.
