4 out of 5 stars Still as good as when they were young.......2007-07-07

I got to see them June 15th 2007 at the Saratoga Winery. They were a blast!!! You thought it was yesterday. They still got it, they still sound as good. They took "Momma Told Me Not To Come" and turned it into a Rap for fun, and the way they did it, you would have thought it had alwasy been sung that way.

I found myself remembering the words to most of the songs, that I thought I had forgotten. You don't forget, the words are just tucked away. They had a couple of new band members but the rest were the good ol' guys we remember. If you don't get to see them, this CD will be the next best thing. You will really enjoy listening to the songs on this CD.

After buying this, go check out "ToTo". They were the opening Band for Three Dog Night!!!

5 out of 5 stars WHAT A WONERFUL SELECTION OF GREAT SONGS.......2007-05-14

4 out of 5 stars A Nice Bit Of Nostalgia.......2007-07-13

I enjoyed hearing this CD. I knew some Three Dog Night songs. This is not exhaustive -- "Try A Little Tenderness" was not included. But my favorites are on this: "Black And White", "Old Fashioned Love Song", "Celebrate", and "The Show Must Go On".

4 out of 5 stars One of those "you had to be there" Cds.......2007-03-14

Most people who like this will do so largely because of nostalgia. If you were around in the 70s, you will have fond memories of this stuff. Tunes like their version of "Easy to Be Hard," "Black and White" (presaging Paul and Stevie's "Ebony and Ivory" by a decade or so), "One " (is the lonliest number) etc. will bring bliss to seventies children (and teenagers and college kids), but will probably sound overwrought and corny to everyone else. BTW, what the HECK does "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" mean?

4 out of 5 stars Great band; but not enough air time here!.......2007-02-10

Three Dog Night enjoyed tremendous success for several years. Between the years 1969 and 1974, they released their own songs as well as cover songs that rose to the top of the pop and adult contemporary charts rather frequently. The music on this CD is incredible; and it holds your interest the entire way through. Their music remains remarkably fresh and strong even to this day.

The CD starts with the infectiously happy "Joy To The World." This song wishes happiness and peace not just to humans but to all creatures on our planet. It's the best antidepressant around! SMILES The musical arrangement exemplifies classic rock--YES!!!!

Shambala, the nest track on this CD, has another potent rock flavor. The song may have a somewhat more "laid back" feel to it than "Joy To The World;" but it works very well.

Other classic Three Dog Night songs on this CD include "An Old Fashioned Love Song;" a tragic ballad about a love gone awry entitled "The Song Must Go On" and "Easy To Be Hard" from Hair.

"Black & White" reminds us to love our fellow man regardless of the color of his or her skin; I remember this song fondly from my grade school years. We had a 45 rpm record of this song and at recess we played it so much we practically wore the grooves off the record! "An Old Fashioned Love Song" has a great intro with the organ playing; and the band performs this number with great sensitivity. "An Old Fashioned Love Song" is both romantic and hauntingly beautiful. People will remember "An Old Fashioned Love Song" for a long time to come. "I've Never Been To Spain" rocks and stuns you with its sensitivity. Excellent!

One of Three Dog Night's other hits was "Celebrate." The musical arrangement showcases the band's incredible sound with their singing and a solid musical arrangement.

Unfortunately, I have one complaint. Other reviewers have written that the CD is just too brief--and they are right. It is shameful that such a talented band does not get its proper due on this CD. I agree with the reviewer who writes that the other CD entitled The Best Of Three Dog Night is a much better buy; you can enjoy much more music from Three Dog Night. Go for it!

Three Dog Night will always be remembered as a band that produced remarkably fine rock hits while they worked together. Their music stuns you with its passion and the melodies are catchy and instantly memorable.

I recommend this CD for Three Dog Night fans or for people who want to become more familiar with the fine artistry of Three Dog Night. Diehard fans will want The Best Of Three Dog Night and other CDs by this unforgettable band. People who enjoy 1970s rock music will enjoy this CD, too. Great job, Three Dog Night!

1 out of 5 stars 4 of 12 Recordings in Mono, not Stereo!!!!.......2006-12-21

The song selection is top notch--can't complain about that, unless, of course, they had filled up the CD with additional titles. My primary issue with this collection is that 4 of the 12 songs were recorded in mono format, not stereo!!! For a 20th Century Masters collection, I was expecting a masterful, Best of Collection. Instead, I got only some of what I wanted.

For those of you concerned, here's the playlist and notations as to whether the songs are in mono or stereo:

1) Joy to the World (mono)
2) Shambala (mono)
3) One (stereo)
4) Black & White (stereo)
5) Mama Told Me Not to Come (stereo)
6) An Old Fashioned Love Song (stereo)
7) Never Been to Spain (stereo)
8) Liar (mono)
9) Eli's Coming (stereo)
10) Easy to Be Hard (stereo)
11) Celebrate (mono)
12) The Show Must Go On (stereo)

Does anyone feel like petitioning MCA for a re-issue of their full, stereo recordings????

5 out of 5 stars Great classic 70's pop-rock band and radio staple!.......2006-11-16

Excellent CD full of 3DN's most notable pop tunes, and great ones at that! They were a prolific 'hit machine' that helped define 70's radio, and bring back great memories of that era. Excellent songwriting skills and songs that truly stand the test of time, since their songs sound just as good today. This CD should, without question, be in your collection of all-time great pop-rock bands.

What's not to like about Three Dog Night? Well, their overwrought cover of Otis Redding's version of "Try a Little Tenderness," for one thing. But almost everything else on their 20-track best-of--a remarkably high percentage of which actually ended up high on the charts back in these guys' day--might remind you fondly of your teen years, or maybe the nine months you spent in third grade. Besides giving John Hiatt one of his first professional breaks (they made a hit of his "Sure As I'm Sittin' Here" in 1974), the Dogs managed some truly graceful moments with the likes of "Celebrate" and "Out in the Country." --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars Just Enough.......2006-08-23

I used to have a bunch of 3DN albums on vinyl before I moved to Japan. Slowly, I am replacing my collections, and since I got this Best Of Three Dog Night several months back, I found it was just enough to satisfy the longings. It doesn't leave me wanting more.

4 out of 5 stars More Than a 'Forrest Gump' Sountrack.......2006-06-01

Three Dog Night was the most successful singles band of the seventies. This collection is a valuable and obvious choice for fans and the uninitiated. The group may not have endured as well as Fleetwood Mac or the Eagles, but their following is not a fleeting one. Their biggest hits still have an instant appeal. Many of them were consciousness raising, including "Family of Man," "Black and White," and "Out in the Country". Each song could be parodied, but they were also eloquent and engaging enough to matter. They could also be considered maudlin with their love songs, especially "Old Fashioned Love Song," "Easy to Be Hard," and "One," making their suitability a matter of taste. While I recommend all of them, many understandably may not. However, some of the other songs provide greater substance and variety. "Celebrate" is a forgotten gem, and "Eli's Coming" showcases them the masters of the keyboard with an (oddly) entertaining and eerie song. Soul is done reasonably well with "Sure as I'm Sitting Here," "Try a Little Tenderness," and "Mama Told Me Not to Come". The latter is a tongue-in-cheek anti-drug song, written by songwriting humorist, Harry Nilsson. (A memoir reveals the lead singer as a drug semi-casualty.) Besides the perennial "Joy to the World," they lighten up considerably on "Shambala" and "The Show Must Go On". There are a few weak moments in the collection, but it is a better bet than any of their original albums (unless you are a rabid fan). Song for song, the variety, energy, and spirit make 'The Best of Three Dog Night' a fine collectible for seventies' afficionados.

5 out of 5 stars A fantastic vocal ensemble!.......2005-12-28

In the far sixties there were many important vocal associations, Temptations, Four Tops, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Rascals, Blood, sweat and tears, Supremes, Beach Boys, Lettermen and Peter, Paul and Mary.

But suddenly from the late sixties emerged this notable band , who mixed rhythm and blues, folk with such original taste loaded with innovations, but fundamentally supported by an incredible vocal shades, impregnated with superb arrangements; Three dog night heaped up the scenery with his formidable easy going themes.

Who can forget his most emblematic theme: One, for instance. But along their triumphal career there were other winning numbers, such Eli' s coming, Mama told me not come, Celebrate, One man band, Joy to the world, Black and White and the always reminded soft ballades such Easy to be hard, Old fashioned song and Try a little tenderness.

There is not need to convince for all those who are in his forties, fifties or sixties. I should insist to propose the new generations to ask their parents, friends for this superb band, that created a special sound and earned a special place in the musical memory.

Go for this collection without reserves.

5 out of 5 stars SLAP THESE PUPPIES ON!.......2005-10-26

Few seventies groups scored as many consistently worthy AM radio chestnuts as Three Dog Night. Fewer still are represented by a "greatest hits" offering this comprehensive and enjoyable. Perhaps this is because no rock era act utilized as many top notch (though often unknown at the time) songwriters as 3DN. Paul Williams (OLD FASHIONED LOVE SONG and two other hits), Leo Sayre (THE SHOW MUST GO ON), Randy Newman (MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME), Laura Nyro (ELI'S COMING), John Hiatt (SURE AS I'M SITTIN' HERE), Russ Ballard (LIAR), Nilsson (ONE), Allen Toussaint (PLAY SOMETHING SWEET), Dave Loggins (PIECES OF APRIL), and of course, Hoyt Axton (NEVER BEEN TO SPAIN and JOY TO THE WORLD) all benefitted from being covered. Of course, great songs ain't nothin' without great singers; Danny Hutton and particularly Cory Wells and Chuck Negron all had gospel/soul/rock chops to spare. Much of their music has scarcely aged, let alone stagnated, three decades after the fact. This compilation is twenty tracks long and nary (you should pardon the expression) a "dog" among them. RATING: FIVE GOLDEN BISCUITS

4 out of 5 stars This stuff gets better with age.......2005-02-10

I can't listen to "Joy to the World" without getting a smile on my face and a spring in my step. I can't listen to "Black and White" without feeling grateful for the civil rights improvements that have occured in my lifetime. I can't listen to Three Dog Night without loving their music. Their performances aren't flawless, but their spirit is rich. This particular CD has most of my favorites from Three Dog Night so I highly recommend this one.

5 out of 5 stars live and alive.......2007-05-25

This Three Dog Night album is interesting for a couple reasons. One, it shows the world that the band was more than just a vocal harmony band, and two, only one song featured here is played on the radio anymore ("One").

If you grew up listening to this band and expect to hear unique vocal harmonies, think again. While the vocals here are definitely good, it seems to me Three Dog Night wanted to prove that they could also stand tall with all the hard rock bands around at the time. "Nobody" and "Chest Fever" proves this for example. Songs that can rock convincingly.

"Heaven Is In Your Mind" is another great song, and a fantastic way to open this set. I don't know if I'd prefer this version over Traffic's, but you know, the Traffic version sounds pretty old, while the boys in Three Dog Night give the song an updated sound with plenty of energy. Check out that guitar solo in the middle. In fact, check out the guitar work throughout the entire album. Yes that's right- there's PLENTY of guitar on this album (for all you people out there who might think the band was too weak to hang with the big boys, like Zeppelin and Sabbath- think again!)

This version of "Feeling Alright" is quite good too. Again, it's about rocking out with some funk thrown in for good measure. This version is probably just as good as Grand Funk's. Joe Cocker's version can go... in the back of the closet.

For those missing some of Three Dog Night's softer and prettier numbers, "Easy to be Hard" might fit the bill. It's a shame most people will probably write off Three Dog Night without giving some of their albums a chance. That is, most people who grow up today, under the assumption that Three Dog Night was all about old and dated vocal harmonies. Wrong! Pick this album up for proof of that.

5 out of 5 stars Wish I'd Been There!.......2006-07-03

This is my favorite live album of all time; bought it in early 1970, shortly after it came out. I'm so glad the CD version is available now, because I've absolutely worn the vinyl out! As someone else mentioned, it is a little short, but the energy is fabulous. The versions of It's For You, Nobody, One, "Eli's-a-Comin" , and Try a Little Tenderness are, IMO, much, much better than the studio cuts. Both vocals and instrumentals seem to be a lot more together in this live album. Unbelievable that it was done in '69, seems like only yesterday!

4 out of 5 stars In the true spirit of 'retro'.......2005-10-13

I remember when this album (not CD) was popular. This was always close to the top of our play list. For nostalgia, I recently purchased this CD... and at first I couldn't remember why we liked it so much. But after a couple of spins through the CD player, I realized that this is an excellent capture of the Three Dog Night sound. Well mixed, excellent musicians, and a great selection of music. It would have been really nice if they could have included some bonus tracks on the CD not originally on the album. This one really 'Socks it to it'!

5 out of 5 stars Jimjn.......2005-10-10

Easily one of the best live performances ever captured on record, tape or CD! This is a great album! The music and the vocals are tremendous. The energy and feel comes through and you can tell the band and the audience are having a great time. The only knock for me is that it's to short. I wish these guys would dig out the rest of the tapes, re-master the tunes and add extra songs. There has to be more to this show somewhere. When you hear it I think you will feel the same way. There are so many reissue and re-mastered CDs with extra songs these days that could have been left alone. This is one that should be enhanced. It truly deserves it.

5 out of 5 stars One of the most celebrated live performances ever!.......2005-08-21

18.000 souls had the chance to presence this amazing spectacle in Los Angeles Forum on 18 September 1969 one of the most reminded musical happenings ever made.
The impressive strength vocal and incredible moods of this fabulous band in the late sixties allowed them articulate lyrics ballads, easy going themes and furious rapture.
They had a very original style but the perfect vocal coupling in white rock bands. How can you forget his furious Eli's coming, or his super known One or the sweet ballad Easy to be hard?
Go for this historical document and no matter if you didn't live the Rock Golden Ages!

3 out of 5 stars MASTERING: NOT BAD, BUT NOT THE BEST.......2007-02-24


These Gott remastered discs sound decent, will probably sate the average person's TDN appetite, and being 2-fers, are a pretty good deal.

However, the TDN audio benchmarks are the 2002, 24-bit Universal Japan remasters of first five albums. If you are looking for THE best TDN audio, those CD's are a step above any and all other domestic and foreign versions available, including the Gott series.

Unfortunately, all five UJ-TDN titles went out-of-print shortly after their issue, and they have not been re-released. Hopefully, that situation will be rectified at some point in the future.

As all of the original TDN LP album covers were very creative & artistic productions, these albums would all also be a major candidate for CD LP-mini-sleeve packaging.

A sharp eye on eBay may turn these up. For reference, and double-checking with any potential seller, the OBI/spine catalog numbers are:

One - UICY-3370 Amazon link: One
Suitable For Framing - UICY-3371 Amazon link: Suitable for Framing
Captured Live At The Forum - UICY-3372
It Ain't Easy - UICY-3373 Amazon link: It Ain't Easy
Naturally - UICY-3374 Amazon link: Naturally

These masters may or may not be on UJ's TDN 2003 "The Collection", which is currently available, but I have not heard. The Japanese remasters are also superior to the domestic remastered 2004 "The Complete Hit Singles".

Again, as most people originally heard these songs coming out of an AM radio, they will probably be more than satisfied with the Gott's. They are certainly better than the horrid-sounding domestic MCA CD's, which are all derived from nearly 40-year-old LP-EQ'd masters.

However, while the spotlight was always cast on the singers, TDN had an amazing band, including an absolute genius in keyboard player Jimmy Greenspoon. The Japanese remasters allow the brilliance of that superb musicianship to be heard in greater detail and clarity than any other editions.

As an aside, while stars like Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman however deservedly had the keyboard-god-limelight in that era, when you think about it, it's probably safe to state that no other keysman was heard by more people in that generation than Jimmy Greenspoon. Yes, the TDN vocals were unique and timeless, and I take nothing from those three talented cats, but JG was the glue that brought everything together.

I own approximately 5000 CD's, and "Out In The Country", with JG's evocative B3 melody, is in my top ten favorite songs of all time. The next time you listen to any TDN album, focus on his playing, and you'll get it.

I've also read his tell-all book. It's quite amazing that TDN was able to function, much less generate the top studio performances that comprised all those monster hits, in the virtually permanent drug-addled state they were in.

It is fortuitous that Jimmy Greenspoon not only conquered and survived his addictions, but that he still performs with TDN to this day, because there is no Three Dog Night without him.

5 out of 5 stars Two Classic 3 Dog Night Albums On One remastered Cd!.......2004-07-24

Three Dog Night appeared on the music scene in the late 60's and took the world by storm. Fronted by three lead singers Chuck Negron, Corey Wells and Danny Hutton (all who had their own unique style) and a terrific band featuring Floyd Sneed on drums, Mike Allsup on guitar, Jimmy Greenspoon on keyboards and Joe Schermie on bass, the band had more hit singles in the time they were together than any other band of the era. This excellent remastered cd includes Three Dog Night's first two albums "Three Dog Night" and "Suitable For Framing". Their debut album entitled simply "Three Dog Night" produced the hits "Nobody","Try A Little Tenderness" (a song originally sung by Otis Redding) and "One". The album was a combination of r&B and rock with numerous standouts (as well as the above mentioned hits) such as "Heaven Is In Your Mind" (written by Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi), "Chest fever" which features Jimmy Greenspoon's superb organ/keyboards, and "The Loner" (written by Neil Young). Three Dog Night's second release "Suitable For Framing" produced the hits "Easy To Be Hard", "Eli's Coming" (written by Laura Nyro) and "Celebrate". Other excellent songs on the album included "Lady Samantha" (wriiten by Elton John and Bernie Taupin), "Feelin' Alright" (written by Dave Mason) and "Circle In For A landing" (written by Billy Preston). Included is a six page booklet with interesting information on the band and these two albums and colorful pictures. The sound quality is excellent due to remastering and the entire package is well put together in a jewel case which fits into a cardboard slip case. If you enjoy classic rock and/or are a Three Dog Night fan then this cd is a must have. Highly Recommended!

4 out of 5 stars Not a perfect anthology but darn close.......2006-11-19

Fans can always complain about what was left off of a collection. Those are the fans that probably need to buy the original albums and leave it alone. For those of us who purchased the singles for Three Dog Night (and some of their early albums) when they came out this is a perfect collection of the band's 18 Top 20 hits, key album tracks and rarities.

The CD collection opens with early singles/songs recorded by Danny Hutton (when he was a staff writer at Hanna-Barbara the production company responsible for "Scooby Doo" and "Josie and the Pussycats" cartoons), Cory Wells with his band The Enemies (whose sign off was "Love Thy Enemy")and a demo featuring the trio of singers produced by Brian Wilson ("Time to Get Alone").We then jump into tracks from their first album and singles including a cover of Traffic's "Heaven is in Your Mind", Elton John's "Lady Samantha" (before he became a star in the U.S.) and other classic tracks.

The second disc takes off with Hoyt Axton's classic "Never Been To Spain" and continues through the band at their peak until about the 16th track. The last couple of tracks are from less successful releases but no less worthy.

Sound quality is exceptional with many of the original stereo and mono mixes used (the band and producers selected the best sounding mixes for inclusion). The album is beautifully remastered by Bill Inglot and Dan Hirsch. The original selections sound terrific. There's also an 18 page booklet with comments from the band and complete original credits. If you only want their hits the single disc collection is probably the way to go but that overlooks many of their fine albums tracks and songs that didn't quite chart. With 43 songs from from 1965 (when the early singles/demos were recorded)until 1983 (the band's last album--yeah I know it's subtitled 1965-1975 but the anthology goes beyond the salad days of the band)this truly is the best collection available. Although Edsel has reissued many of these as 2fers on Cd the sound quality is inferior on many of them.

Formed in 1967 by Cory Wells, Danny Hutton and Chuck Negron the band was unusual from the start--they performed the best songs by OTHER writers. It was a perfect approach for three lead singers that allowed the best songs to be recorded without bruising too many egos early on. The trio fo singers recruited musicians that they had known and played with over the years to fill out the band and by April of 1969 had their first top ten single a cover of Harry Nilsson's classic "One". From there the band had a string of hits including their cover of Randy Newman's "Mama Told Me Not To Come" (#1), "Joy to the World" (Hoyt Axton a fishing buddy of Cory's), "Black & White", "Eli's Coming" (Laura Nyro), "Shambala", "Sure As I'm Sitting Here" (John Hiatt) and others.

5 out of 5 stars No fillers--no fluff.......2006-09-08

I grew up only knowing a few TDN songs--Joy to the World, Old Fashioned Love Song, Celebrate. I was a small child when they were in their hayday and they were a little bit "mature" for me. I saw this CD last year and bought it because it had one of my favorite songs on it--Out in the Country. Now I realize that they weren't releasing just the good stuff. This CD is full of fantastic music, from doo-wop to ballads to hard(er) rock. I love the booklet that came with the CD's explaining the background of each song and which member sings each song. If you enjoy Three Dog Night, this is the CD to have.

4 out of 5 stars Good set but some missing pieces.......2006-02-22

At their peak, there was not a more popular group than Three Dog Night but the start of this 2 disc set includes pre-Dog material that IMO, should have been left off to make room for more TDN songs. Maybe the only exception to this would be 'Roses and Rainbows' by Danny Hutton because it is the only song I remember ever getting any radio play time. "Celebrate" is good but it misses the mark by leaving out some of their best material like 'Rock and Roll Widow', 'Chest Fever', 'Don't Make Promises' and 'Jam'. Not perfect for the TDN collector but good enough for those who just want a taste.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Compilation Set.......2004-09-09

If you are a Three Dog Night fan or just getting yourself familiar with the group, this is a great album to get. Even if you own all the regularly issued Three Dog Night albums, this one has a lot of single tracks that were hits and are indeed the single mixes. Many of Three Dog Night's single tracks were slightly different mixes from the song versions that appeared on albums. For example, the mixes to "Black and White" and "Joy to the World" are different. The 45 mixes are better as presented here.

Purhcasers of this set will also get a sampling of several album tracks such as "You," "Cowboy" and "Midnight Runaway". Also appearing are "Going in Circles", the B-side to "Family of Man" and the funky "Our B-side" which was a B-side to the single "Shambala" I believe. All great music.

The CD set is superbly packaged with very good liner notes and track information.

About the only thing that I can find fault with this collection are the songs that they left off... namely "Sunlight" from the "Naturally" album and "Rock n Roll Widow" from the still-out-of-print album, "It Ain't Easy." Otherwise this is a great compilation.

5 out of 5 stars Complete history of the band.....for fanatics only!!!!.......2004-06-02

When I purchased this package several years ago, this was easily the best available collection of Three Dog Night on the market. No question about it, Three Dog Night dominated the music charts like no one else in the early 1970's All 21 of the groups single releases between 1969 and 1975 made the Top 40 and all of those songs are included here. There were 11 Top Ten tunes and 3 of those went all the way to #1 including "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)", "Joy To The World" and "Black and White". At the same time they were dominating the AM airwaves, Three Dog Night could also be heard on the FM side of the dial. The group released some 14 albums and 5 of those went Top Ten on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart.
As stated previously, this magnificent collection includes all 21 hit singles as well as many great tracks from the LPs. There is also an exceptional 30 page booklet that chronicles the entire history of the group. But since I am primarily interested in the "singles" this collection offers far more than I am really looking for or need. At this point I would recommend this package to big fans of the band only. For the rest of us there is now an alternative. In May 2004 Universal released all 21 hit singles on 1 CD. Priced at less than half of what one would have to shell out fot this deluxe 2 CD package it is now the better value.

5 out of 5 stars Three Dog Night Harmony.......2007-03-10

Excellent music from the good old 70's. Thank you Amazon!

4 out of 5 stars Remastered?.......2006-11-01

While this is an excellent album by Three Dog Night, I can't find any indication that it has been remastered. It is listed on this Amazon site as having come out in the mid-90's when the back is copyrighted 1988 - identical to the non-remastered disc I bought around that time (including the same generic back-cover that MCA put on all their cheap cds in the 80s).

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Album.......2001-09-26

This is my favorite Three Dog Night album. It contains some of the best recordings of their career. Of course the hits are here "Never Been To Spain", "Family Of Man" and "An Old Fashioned Love Song" but there are others that are amazing also. Just give a listen to their remake of Stevie Wonder's "Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer" and Marvin Gaye's "You". I also think "My Impersonal Life" is one of their best songs. Lots of gems here that didn't wind up on their original Greatest Hits compilation. Most of the songs on this album do appear on their Anthology. Danny Hutton, Cory Wells, Chuck Negron and the band were jamming on this one.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Effort.......2001-09-02

Three Dog Night came on with this great work, and it should be a must for any CD collection. Perhaps "Old Fashioned Love Song" and "Never Been to Spain" are best remembered, as they got the most air play on radio stations. Other cuts such as "You", "Night in the City" and "The Family of Man" should have yet did not seem to get the attention that they deserved. I highly recommend this to any die hard Three Dog Night fans, you won't be disappointed.

4 out of 5 stars Still A Good Album, Even After 30 Years!.......2001-03-15

Coming off the heels of both their highly successful "Naturally" and "Golden Bisquits" LP's, comes the equally gold(en) "Harmony". This has got to be one of Three Dog Night's best three albums, along with the aforementioned "Naturally" and "Seven Separate Fools". As you will hear for yourself, "Harmony" doesn't fail to disappoint, for this album contains the hits "Never Been To Spain", as written by the late Hoyt Axton (who was a fishing buddy of TDN member/singer Cory Wells), the environmentally-conscious "The Family Of Man", as co-written by Paul Williams, as well as "An Old Fashioned Love Song", also written by Paul (TDN fans, you must also hear the 45 version of "An Old Fashioned Love Song" from the double-CD "Celebrate" collection, as it's something to absolutely die for!). The non-singles featured on "Harmony" are just as good, if not better. The guys let it all hang out on "Jam", while they ease into a soulful groove on a song previously done by the late Marvin Gaye, titled "You". Another Motown legend, Stevie Wonder, contributes a composition of his own titled "Never Dreamed You'd Leave Me In Summer". Talk about one of the most prolific songwriters of our time, as Joni Mitchell adds "Night In The City" to the mix, as well. Even a childhood friend of TDN's Danny Hutton gets into the songwriting act, as a song written by Terry Furlong, titled "My Impersonal Life", somehow finds its way here. There's a price to be paid for all this wonderful music, as Three Dog Night is found guilty of "overexcessive pleasure", as they commit "Murder In My Heart For The Judge". Ah, but the sentence doesn't last long, for, as an appeal, Chuck Negron recites a magnificent poem to the judge, titled: "Mistakes And Illusions", thus our boys are set free from their so-called "crime". Alas, TDN found "Peace Of Mind" at last! To get yours (Peace Of Mind, that is), just purchase a copy of "Harmony" right now!

3 out of 5 stars 1 out of 2 ain't acceptable........2006-09-27

This package of "Seven Separate Fools" & the previously unreleased (legitimately, that is) on CD "Around The World..." is spoiled by poor audio mastering on the "Seven Separate Fools" disc - in particular, "Black And White" starts out with obvious tape warble, while both "Chained" & "Midnight Runaway" are faded out early. The original MCA cd release is far better. In regard to the second disc (and yes, this is a 2-disc set - there's no way both albums would fit on a single disc, considering that the live album was a 2-LP set back in 1973), it is a fair transfer of the original audio content, but nothing to get excited about.

3 out of 5 stars Some people dont know when to leave well enough alone.......2006-09-20

5 stars for the actual recording effort on the bands part...1 star for the remaster disaster on Edsels part

Some people dont know when to leave well enough alone......The bass is weak and muddy ...the mids are weak and notched way down...and the highs are excessively overdriven...to the point of being harsh and unlistenable..causing major listening fatigue.

I have waited for several months for the release of these 3 double cd sets by Edsel.....I just gave them a listen....and all three sets must have been done by the same guy.....a guy with a severe tin ear.

The booklet is excellent....but do yourself (and your ears) a favor....if you have the earlier cd vrsions....stick with them....they're head and shoulders above this.

5 out of 5 stars Finally........... "Around the World..." on CD.......2006-09-20

For whatever reason, "Around the World with Three Dog Night" was the only one of their best-selling LPs thru '74 that was not released on CD when the rest came out 'round 20 years or so ago. (Were they not able to fit 75 min. on in the early days?) Fortunately, this better-late-than-never issue on Edsel does not disappoint. Some of you may have already purchased the title on a particularly popular auction site (as I did a year or two ago) only to find that while the sound quality wasn't bad, it was transferred at the wrong speed (too fast), and contained a *skip* at the beginning of "An Old-Fashioned Love Song" (I returned mine with no problem). They also misidentify track 4 as "The Family Man". Well, this is the real deal, and they also do a good job mixing the 4 LP sides together so that it plays thru without any silent breaks. (I think there's a few seconds of chatter missing from the intro to "Good Feelin' 1957", but I believe that was cut from the original cassette version as well - minor quibble). I was a little nervous when I saw on the cover shot the *Promo - Not For Sale* sticker in the corner, wondering if they would have actually used that vinyl as the source for the CD. Obviously not. And if you've not yet heard this recording in any form, but have had their other (Forum - '69) Live album in your collection, you can be sure that this sounds infinitely better (the other was simply poorly recorded). And it took me quite a few listens of the original release to realize that they actually used the original *studio* recordings on 2 of the tracks ("Black and White", "Out in the Country"), although editing them in well enough to fool my then-teenaged ears (at least temporarily). The rest of the album is *authentically*, apparently, "Live". I was hoping that when this was finally released on CD, they might expand it to 2 discs and include a bunch of other tunes from the same tour ("Celebrate" and "One" being two notable omissions). Maybe in 5 years or so, or whenever they release it in the U.S., or whenever they finally make it into the Hall of Fame (hello.... anybody home??) No offense to Percy Sledge, but how many people can name one *other* song that he recorded? Anyway, as far as "Seven Separate Fools" goes, not much to say here if only because it has continued to be reasonably available on CD from the original issue, though a quick listen to "Pieces of April" with the headphones confirmed that the sound quality is great. And if you're wondering how they managed to get 3 vinyl LPs onto 1 CD.... they didn't. The current Amazon info is incorrect.... this is a well-priced 2-disc set. Now if they'll just give us a 3-fer of "Coming Down Your Way", "American Pastime", and "It's a Jungle".

5 out of 5 stars A Golden Oldie.......2007-04-12

I was a huge fan and had every LP this talented group recorded. I never could find this one on CD, until I started buying from here. I wore this LP out as a teen, had to replace it 4 times. It was the only LP I ever owned that got played from beginning to end. Although I am a Chuck Negron fan and even like the song , "Joy To The World" is the worse track on this CD. "I've Got Enough Heartache" is by far the best track Three Dog Night recorded with all 3 singers, with "Heavy Church" following a close 2nd . On this CD "Sunlight" is the best Solo. Too bad they were in the shadows of the hits off this CD, had they been on another LP they would of made their marks on the charts.

5 out of 5 stars Great Overall--especially Heavy Church.......2004-02-19

Overall this is indeed a great album, but Heavy Church truly stands out as the best song for me. Oddly enough, I find it almost impossible to find any lyrics for the song and hardly even any mentioning of it (a Google search for "'heavy church' naturally" yields just over 100 results). 'Tis a shame that this album didn't gain the popularity it deserved.

5 out of 5 stars Versatility, variety, and very, very good.......2004-02-07

This 1970 album came at a time when Three Dog Night was just beginning to hit it big. Riding a huge wave of popularity, TDN was not only great in concert, but, as is evident in "Naturally", outstanding in the studio as well. The 7 members of the group all get their chances to dazzle in this varied production. The strengths of the album, of course, are found in four solid TDN staples, "Joy to the World", "One Man Band", "Liar", and "I Can Hear You Calling", but the icing on the cake is from the underrated gems that are present, such as "Heavy Church" with it's great harmony, the soulful "Sunlight", and the anthemic instrumental, "Fire Eater".

Even the casual classic rock fan knows of the great harmonies of vocalists Chuck Negron, Cory Wells, and Danny Hutton, but it's the rest of the band that really gets a chance to shine in "Natually". Floyd Sneed on drums is very capable, as is Joe Shermie on bass. The keyboards (especially the funky pop organ on "One Man Band") of Jimmy Greenspoon and the great guitar work of Mike Allsup rank with some of the best from the '70s.

If you're a fan of Three Dog Night and you've limited yourself just to the "Greatest Hits" and "Golden Biscuits", you're missing a treat in this album (and "Seven Separate Fools") if you don't have it as part of your collection. "Naturally" has aged well and remains probably the best album produced by TDN.

Three Dog Night were on a roll at the beginning of the new 70's decade. They had already released three excellent albums ("Three Dog Night", "Suitable For Framing" and "Captured Live"). Their first album for the new decade was "It's Not Easy" which produced the hits "Mama (Told Me Not To Come)" and "Out In The Country". While that album was excellent, it was Three Dog Night's next release "Naturally" that produced their biggest hit with "Joy To The World". Other hits from the album were "One Man Band" and "Liar". But the album also had some other great songs such as the rockers "I'll Be Creepin'", "I Can Hear You Calling", "Fire Eater" (an instrumental rocking track which showcases Mike Allsop's extroadinary guitar playing as well as Jimmy Greenspoon's awesome keyboard skills), the soulful "I Can't Get Enough Of It", and "Sunlight" (an excellent acoustic guitar based slow song written by Jesse Collin Young). Three Dog Night were successful at utilizing three lead singers combining soul, rock and blues into a sound that was distinctly their own. I can't think of too many groups that could harmonize as well as Three Dog Night and it's no wonder they were the seventies most popular rock group. If there's one Three Dog Night cd you buy, this should be it, as "Naturally" was released when the group was at the peak of their musical career. Highly recommended!

4 out of 5 stars It's only Natural.......2001-09-26

This is a great album as well. Probably my second favorite. This album gets any vote from me because I absolutely love their version of "Liar". I was also impressed with their version of Jesse Colin-Young's "Sunlight". Of course you've got the big hits "Joy To The World" and "One Man Band" that hold the album together. One particular song that stands out on this album for some reason is a track entitled "Heavy Church". You'll have to pick this CD up to understand it. I also like the instrumental track "Fire Eater". It adds a nice touch.

4 out of 5 stars Good CD.......2007-02-11

This CD has some rare tracks on it that aren't available on any other CD. Good choice for the serious collector.

4 out of 5 stars Remastered?.......2006-11-01

Warning! While this is an excellent album by Three Dog Night, I can't find any indication that it has been remastered. It is listed on this Amazon site as having come out in the mid-90's when the back is copyrighted 1988 - identical to the non-remastered disc I bought around that time (including the same generic back-cover that MCA put on all their cheap cds in the 80s). I have suggested this same warning for "Harmony."

This is a hard to find CD - thanks for having it!

5 out of 5 stars My favorite of all.......2002-11-27

This record has a variety of songs, from a country sound "My Old Kentucky Home" to some awesome guitar licks on "Chained" as well as perfect harmony which we've all have come to love from Three Dog Night. Having been a long time follower of these guys, this is by FAR THE BEST collection of songs from this band. Many hit singles came from this record, including "Black and White," and "Pieces of April." Also included "Going in Circles" from a movie called "XYZ." It's very eerie and climactic. Highlighted on this album is keyboardest Jimmy Greenspoon in a sweet solo called "Prelude to Morning." If you are a new Three Dog Night fan, you do not want to miss this cd. This is probably the last best-selling album of their hey-day--sad to say. But is well worth the purchase, guaranteed!...

4 out of 5 stars More Than You Expect.......2001-09-26

By the time Three Dog Night released this album you didn't know what to expect from a band that has kept it alive for so long. They made a huge comeback on this album to prove that they weren't going anywhere. Lots of great songs here. "Black and White" and "Pieces Of April" were the hits but you gotta check out the Marvin Gaye remake "Chained" and the Rare Earth remake of "In Bed". The track "Going In Circles" is from the film X Y and Z which was not memorable but a good song and "Midnight Runaway" finishes the album off.
