Free Music Review: So many non-hits and no "Blue Money"
Hit: 3 Stars
It would have been great to replace my Van Morrison "Best of" CDs with one comprehensive disc and when I saw the title of this new collection, I was certain that "The" greatest hits CD was the one.
With only a handful of hits here in the States, how is it that two of Van's biggest hits are not among the 21 tracks (!) on this CD? Sure, the big hits - "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Domino" - are here. But where are "Blue Money" and "Come Running"?
As a young boy who began purchasing 45 RPM singles around 1970 (at age 5), "Blue Money" was one of the first records I ever bought. I admit, it wasn't the best song I had ever heard, but it had a good beat and the kids could dance to it, you know?
Now that I think about it, I haven't seen "Blue Money" on any of Van's compilation CDs. I have to believe that some music snob (maybe more than one) will write about its non-worthiness or something about how Van always hated that song, but I would say that it was certainly among Van Morrison's greatest hits.
And another thing: How is it that "Into the Mystic" and "Tupelo Honey" didn't make the cut? Did I miss the Van Morrison "Anthology" CD??
