Customer Reviews:

6 stars !.......2003-11-13

Even without OPEN MY EYES and SOMETHING TO FALL BACK,this one is better than the RHINO ANTHOLOGY (only 26 tracks).Only the red and blue Beatles anthologies can match this!

best music I have purchased in a post-Beatles era.......2003-10-20

This is it, folks. This is a compilation of the wizard, the true star's best stuff and it will not disappoint. For folks not familiar with Todd, buy this set fully expecting to be blown away with the very best that pop music ever had to offer. The mega hits are complimented by songs that will be brand new to many casual listeners. My personal favorites are Fade Away, Sometimes I Don't Know What to Feel, Useless Begging, Compassion, Dream Goes on forever, along with the always lovely "Can We Still Be Friends" (featured at the climax of Vanilla Sky) and "Wailing Wall" - both of these are absolute perfection. Do not waste time on single c/d compilations - even with two discs any compilation will miss many favorites (e.g. Boat on the Charles, Dust in the Wind,etc) but this review is about what IS here and there is much to love with a total of 41 songs compiled by Todd himself (I think). Great liner notes, discology, poster, etc. I seldom get through a week, make that a day, without listening to some of Todd's music - When I was young I'd listen to Beatles albums until I had made them my own, knowing every note by heart - this music is just that good. After you buy this album you will just have to go back and buy Runt, S/A, AWAST, etc.,but that's o.k. - go ahead - become a Todd-head. No musician/composer so mastered both keyboards (check out the "Meaning of the Verb to Love")and guitar (check out "Love of the Common Man") as Todd has(and on some tracks, such as I Saw the Light" he does every instrument AND backgound vocals). This music is too good to be...ignored.

Great collection.......2003-06-18

This is an outstanding collection which includes many of Todds best songs from his first solo album, through to the Tortured artist album. It's classic Todd at his best. It's really hard to put all of Todd's best on only 2 cd's as he has so many great songs during this period. I love most of the songs on this collection, which is so much more than a greatest hits collection. Yes all the hits are included, but what really caught my attention were all the great album cuts such as: Believe in me, Wailing wall, Cold morining light, torch song, Does anybody love you, izzat love, etc. I guess like everyone else, I would've like to seen several other favorites of mine: You don't have to camp around, pulse, I'm so proudo/what's goin' on/ohh baby baby, breathless and especially Hideaway (one of my very favorite Todd songs).Still, many of Todds best are packed into this double cd. If you like intelligent, creative and original music, buy this collection, you won't be dissappointed.

Nice for the Brits.......2001-05-15

A vastly different lineup than the Rhino Anthology Americans have lavished over for awhile, but Todd proves to be his own best archiver by throwing in catchy non-hits like "Izzat Love" and "Does Anybody Love You?" None of the important stuff or big hits is omitted.

What great memories.......2001-01-07

I was browsing through the record shop and came across this great piece of work. I saw him live backing Led Zepplin in 78 and was impressed, but did not get round to buying any of his albums. So I Bought this and what great memories of that concert. And I will recomend this to all he is a class act
