1968-2003 Thirty-Six years And Still Going Strong........2004-01-06

Joe Cocker "The Ultimate Collection 1968-2003", is the first Cocker CD compilation, to adequately cover his entire career since 1968 to 2003. With 30 tracks, this is a fine sampling of some of his biggest hits. This is the perfect CD for someone who is considering buying a Cocker Cd for the first time. Disc one is by far the stronger cd, with classic tracks like, "Feelin' Alright", "Unchain My Heart", "You Are So Beautiful", "The Letter", "When The Night Comes", "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" and "Cry Me A river", just to name a few. Disc two has some nice tracks from his more recent efforts, like "Could You Be Loved", "The Simple Things", "Have A Little Faith", "Never Tear Us Apart" and a great take on Leonard Cohens "First We Take Manhatten". "With A little Help from My Friends", to "You Can Leave Your Hat On", they are all here to enjoy on 2 discs. The version that will be released in the US will be called "The Ultimate Joe Cocker", but will have only 20 tracks, but does contain his grammy nominated song with the Crusaders from 1981 "I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today". You can get this import, at a very reasonable price on Amazons used dealer network or e-bay. I paid $17.00 with S+H included on e-bay. His music sounds as good today, as it did back in the 1960's. Considering all that Cocker has been through during his career, and the fact he has long out distanced most of his 1960's contemporaries, makes him in my eyes a classic rock n roll treasure. This is one collection not to be missed for fans both old and new.
