Frankie Vallie.......2007-01-16
A great follow up for the first album and terrific music for all ages
Great Collection.......2006-11-07
I wouldn't consider myself one to purchase a Frankie and the Four Seaons CD (I mean look how dorky they look on the CD cover!) - but don't be decieved - this is a masterpiece.
"Lets hang on" has great hook and is one of my favorites. I got the CD coz I'd heard "December 1963" in the past, liked it but didn't know who performed it. One of the better purchases I've made in 2006.
Four Seasons CD.......2006-02-22
Greatest Hits Volume 2 is a fun disc for Frankie Valli fans to have in their collection.

Worth every penny.......2004-01-31
I had to write this review cause I have found this cd to be stimulating and easy going. The cd gives an excellent assortment of her greatest hits. I always enjoyed Olivia's voice, she sings with passion. The European release and the U.S. release are the same with the exception of the 1st and 2nd song being switched around. If that was accidental or intentional, we will never know.
Track List.......2000-10-23
I bought this CD a couple years ago in Ireland. It's not available in this form in the US. It's a combination of the U.S. LP release "Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits" and some other excellent tracks from other early albums.
The track list is: 1. Changes, 2. Every Face Tells A Story, 3. Let It Shine, 4. Come On Over, 5. Love Song, 6. Have You Never Been Mellow, 7. Don't Cry For Me Argentina, 8. Please Mr. Please, 9. Something Better To Do, 10. Jolene, 11. The Air That I Breathe, 12. Don't Stop Believin', 13. Making A Good Thing Better, 14. Sam.

More Than Hits.......2000-09-20
This Australian collection brings together more than just "Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits" it gives us some of her best recordings spanning from 1975-1977. Some songs like "Have You Never Been Mellow" (#1 in the US), "Please Mr. Please" (#3 in the US) and "Sam" (#1 A/C hit in the US)are well-known hits that most everyone is familiar with. But this CD provides some jewels that may not have been big hits, but are musical treasures. "Changes", which was written by Olivia illustrates the pain of divorce on parents with a young child. Olivia's cover of "The Air That I Breathe" is hauntingly beautiful as is "Love Song." One of her best moments on record is "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" from 1977. Olivia delivers it with great confidence and heart which won over many critics who had up to this point taken great pleasure in dissing her music. Other classic tracks include Olivia's take on Dolly Parton's "Jolene", "Come On Over" which was written by the Bee-Gees, "Something Better To Do" a light-hearted look at lonliness and many more. This album was origianly released at the end of 1977 and serves as a cap on her early country career since she will take a bold new direction the following summer in the movie "Grease." If you buy this title I also recommend "First Impressions- Great Hits" [IMPORT] to get the early hits like "Let Me Be There" and "I Honestly Love You" as well as "Olivia's Greatest Hits Volume 3 [IMPORT] for the huge pop hits like "Xanadu" and "Physical" With these three CD, you'll have a complete collection of the BEST OF OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN

What an Unfortunate Collection of "Hits".......2005-02-02
I consider myself to be a great fan of the Byrds, including the latter-day Byrds after everyone was either fired or quit except McGuinn. Clarence White deserves to be the "Sixth Byrd", since he's been playing on Byrds albums since "Younger Than Yesterday". My problem is not with McGuinn's new lineup of players. My problem is with the track selection.
If Columbia is going to feature the faces of these four guys on the cover, then they should not have featured any of the tracks from "Notorious Byrd Bros." or "Sweetheart of the Rodeo". Those two records don't need to be plucked from anyway. They should stand alone and left intact as classic concept albums. They rightfully belong to the likes of Crosby, Hillman, Gram Parsons and Mike Clarke, not Battin and Gene Parsons, whose faces don the cover of "GH Vol.II". Columbia should have recognized that "Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde" started the last phase of the Byrds, where McGuinn was the only remaining original. Therefore, this record should have reflected the best of the Byrds since "Dr. Byrds".
With that being said, I also don't approve of the inclusion of some very terrible songs like "America's Great National Pastime" (this song in particular does not deserve to be under the Byrds title. I have no idea why McGuinn allowed for this to happen), and "I Wanna Grow Up to be a Politician" and "Citizen Kane". Let's get real! These are not good songs! Again, I love the latter-day Byrds, so I've come up with my own version of "Greatest Hits Vol II". I hope some of you fans will agree:
1. Ballad of Easy Rider
2. Chestnut Mare
3. Your Gentle Ways of Loving Me
4. All The Things
5. Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man
6. Just a Season
7. Gunga Din
8. I Trust
9. Kathleen's Song
10. Mae Jean Goes To Hollywood
11. Glory, Glory
12. Bugler
Best of The Byrds Volume 2 is loaded with creativity........2002-12-03
Some of these other reviewers just didn't get it. These songs are gems, they are adventurous sonic masterpieces that are in some ways reminiscent of some of the songs on the Beatles White Album.
Not that the Byrds' style is the same, but certain of these songs display such wit and humor that the listener is not sure if a song is a complete parody or partially serious. Yet at the same time the originality of the musical arrangements shine through. If you like some of the White album songs such as Rocky Raccoon, Honey Pie, Back In The U.S.S.R., and Bungalow Bill, then you should like this album. Many of the songs have a countrified sound, like McCartney's Rocky Raccoon, but distinctly Byrds. The Byrds infuse influences from older musical traditions, such as the 1930s tinge on Citizen Kane. The Beatles had done this on Honey Pie, but it was more of a 1920s sound. And the subtle parody of Back In The U.S.S.R. is mirrored by I Wanna Grow Up To Be A Politician.
The songs: Citizen Kane is about ultra-wealthy publisher William Randolph Hearst, who back in the 1930s owned a castle and 40 miles of prime California coastline. The castle was called Xanadu. The major Hollywood movie stars would drop by for wild parties, and the song is a slightly exaggerated account of their escapades.
Tiffany Queen is another song about people who might be having too much fun at parties. Chestnut Mare is the wild horse the narrator is intent on catching, but its not really a wild horse anymore if he catches it, is it?
I wasn't Born To Follow and Easy Rider romanticize the freedom of the individual and the lure of the American Road, pre-sport-utes. Jesus Is Just Alright With Me was paid a tribute when the Doobie Brothers' later version cloned the Byrds' sound almost exactly, and become a hit.
He Was A Friend Of Mine is a folk rock tune expressing the nation's emotions after President Kennedy's assassination.
This eclectic batch of songs somehow fits together as a whole. If you are open to the idea of music combining brilliant electric guitar work and country music influences, along with intelligent lyrics, and some humor, then this could be your CD.
Great Music in a Slight Package.......2002-08-26
The first thing you'll notice when looking at the track listing for "The Best of the Byrds" is that it contains none of their mid-60s mega-hits (all of which are on the first Greatest Hits album). Like The Beatles, who they were often compared to, The Byrds shifted gears around 1967 and began concentrating on recording great albums. But while The Beatles continued to enjoy singles chart success, The Byrds took their music in a more decidedly anti-commercial direction. Namely, in the wake of Gram Parsons's brief membership in the band, they began incorporating elements of traditional country music into their sound.
What's most noticable on this album is that nearly every song has a strong country flavor. The best tracks are the story song "The Ballad of Easy Rider," one of their best Bob Dylan covers, "You Ain't Going Nowhere," "Jesus is Just Alright" (later made into a hit by The Doobie Brothers in a less country sounding version), "He Was a Friend of Mine," and the political commentary of "I Wanna Grow Up to Be a Politician." While the music is strong, however, this collection is pretty slight at only 11 songs. Additionally, the CD booklet contains only a track listing and a few perfunctory liner notes. A band with a legacy as large as The Byrds should have a more representative anthology album, not to mention CD bonus tracks.
Overall, a short collection of classic material from a band whose stature deserves much more.
Includes Some Of My Favorite Tracks!.......2001-03-01
A superb overview of late Byrds! Lets face it, the later Byrds albums were often uneven, but this fine disc collects many of the greatest tracks in one convenient package. Here you can see the transformation of the band from folk pop to country rock. The vocals are top notch. An excellent choice for fans of The Band, The Dead or The Eagles. This album includes some fine and often over looked songs with sharp social criticism. Especially well suited to casual fans of the band, and I recommend it highly. Stand out tracks include `I Wanna Grow Up To Be A Politician', `America's Great National Pastime' and `You Ain't Going Nowhere'. I must admit though, that I find `Chestnut Mare' to be tiresome.
Not As Good As It Could Have Been.......2000-01-27
When this album originally came out in 1972 (a year before the reunion album--the band's last), this Greatest Hits II made a lot of sense. The Byrds previous two albums especially (Byrdmaniax and Farther Along) contained some fairly weak tracks. So compiling a "greatest hits" album (though none of these even cracked the Top 40) was a golden opportunity to compile all the best tracks between 1968's The Notorious Byrd Brothers (not Sweetheart of the Rodeo as the previous reviewer indicated) through 1971's Farther Along.
This collection fails on several accounts:
1) In the CD age a 30-minute CD (actually 30:29) isn't giving you much bang for your buck. The length could eadily have been doubled and still fit on a single disc.
2) Too much attention was paid to the last two studio albums--arguably the weakest of their career. Of the eleven tracks on this disc, these two albums are represented by four songs, including the slight "America's Great National Pastime" and the equally goofy "I Wanna Grow Up To Be a Politician."
3.) Too many great songs were overlooked. Where's David Crosby's "Lady Friend," which was only available as a single (peaked at #82) until it was released on The Byrds Boxed Set? Why only one track from the landmark Sweetheart of the Rodeo? "I Am a Pilgrim" was also released as a single from the album. The Byrds' cover of the Dylan-penned "Lay Lady Lay" was another single-only release until the Boxed Set.
The truth is all of these songs (except "Citizen Kane") are on The Byrds Boxed Set--90 songs of prime Byrds material. If your budget can afford it, get the box. Otherwise, ten bucks will get you some of the great late-period Byrds like "Chestnut Mare," "Ballad of Easy Rider," "Wasn't Born to Follow" and "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man," which belong in any serious Byrds fan's collection. RECOMMENDED (for the budget-minded)

Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 50's Vol 2.......2005-03-28
I have this cd in my collection. I think is a great collection of the 50's hits, although I was hoping for more early Rock & Roll. But then again, RCA wasn't really a R & R label. The only major rock star to record for RCA was Elvis Presley. I enjoyed Canadian Sunset, Mama Look a Boo Boo, and Shout thoroughly, and of course Don't Be Cruel. I would like to see a Nipper's Great Hits of the 80's.
Great CD from an outstanding series.......2002-01-27
The beauty of this compilation is the wide range of atist and song.
If it was a hit in the fifties for RCA then it is here, or on volume 1.
The Nipper series is perhaps unique in this respect and that is what gives the whle series it graet strength.
Often, even when you do not recognise a track from the name on the play list when it comes out of the CD you think "ahh that one".
This is even true fr the 1920's and 30's compilations in the series.
Very entertaining and great value for money the whole set is very well worth owning and you will definitly come across much material not found elsewhere.
sound quality is also excellent.

Complete Data and Rating.......2002-01-06
This work miss of some homogeneity, most of the songs sound good, some others are stressful and are intercalate, so that it cuts the continuity.
Bmg/Rca; ASIN: B000002WDR - when programming the CD reader avoid B marked items 2, 6, 10, 13, 14 to obtain a soft continuity
