Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great collection of Van Morrison's hits. Both my husband and I are huge fans and even my three children know his music and they love the cd.Free Music Review: One criticial omission ...
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm happy to have it in my collection, but it's not "officially" a greatest hits album without some version of "Caravan", preferably the Last Waltz rendition.Free Music Review: Still on Top - Van Morrison
Hit: 5 Stars
Van Morrisson is still on top. The CD has some great oldies but also offers more of his newer work that is excellent - always great listening music. If you enjoy Van you cannot help but enjoy this CD.Free Music Review: North American Van fans totally got ripped off...
Hit: 3 Stars
Now, isn't it a bit unfair that everyone else in the world got a two-CD, 37-track version of this album and we only got a one-CD, 21-track version?
So anyway, I'm looking at the tracklist and thinking, okay, it's a bit rudimentary and there are way too many mediocre late-period songs ("Real Real Gone"? "Someone Like You"? "In the Garden"? I ask you...), but overall it... hey, wait a minute! There is NOTHING from Astral Weeks on this edition, or on the European edition! brxjzsdpbmnowe. That was me getting angry, if you were wondering. And there's no "Tupelo Honey", either! Or "Caravan"! Or "Whenever God Shines His Light"! Or "Cleaning Windows"! Or ANYTHING from Veedon Fleece, unless you were one of the four people who got the three-disc special edition (which none of us Yanks are worthy of). vlamdnsklt. Yes, I'm still angry. Because this is a blown opportunity! I mean, rather than loading us down with those '80s songs that nobody knows about, they could've gone for some of the classics! AND they could've graced us Americans (and Canadians) with the double-album version, too. I don't like that.
Yeeeaaah, if you want "Gloria", "Brown Eyed Girl", "Wild Night", "Domino", "Moondance", "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)", "Warm Love", "Bright Side of the Road" and so forth (and I would not blame you for wanting any of those), get the first "best-of" album. This is a decent look at Van Morrison's career, but at the same point it's a sham. I mean, what is so hard about picking one edition of an album and releasing it worldwide?
Free Music Review: Overall it's not too shabby for the casual Morrison listener
Hit: 4 Stars
40 years of hits crammed onto one CD. That's mighty impressive. I have never claimed to be the biggest Van Morrison follower, but even I can recognize numerous tracks on this one. "Gloria," Brown Eyed Girl," "Wild Night," "Jackie Wilson Said," "Have I Told You Lately?," and "Days Like This" are only a few of the 21 career spanning favorites. There are many Van Morrison hits packages out there, but this one boasts recent favorites as well. Overall it's not too shabby for the casual Morrison listener, but I would have to imagine, with a career so vast, that longtime fans consider more than 21 songs to be the greatest.
