4 out of 5 stars Nice to listen to some of Van's hits   October 9, 2008
Molly Preston (London)
I got this before going to see Van Morrison Live at Symphony Hall. The CD made up for the lack of known songs sung by Van in his live performance. It was a strange affair, he did not speak to the audience and performed a very self indulgant show. However I can't fault the CD it is great.


5 out of 5 stars Definitely 'still on top'   November 16, 2007

This is great! There is not ONE song that isn't worth five stars. I have loved Van Morrison's music since the 60's & this compilation shows just how great a writer & performer he is. He might be a bit of a miserable sod most of the time, but I wasn't inviting him for dinner so that isn't a problem. Add this to your CD collection. You will love it.



2 out of 5 stars No Astral Weeks???!!!!!!???!!!!   November 2, 2007

Don't get me wrong, there are some fantastic songs on this set, but to completely miss out what is arguably and certainly critically the man's best work is inexplicable. Surely 'Sweet Thing' could have replaced that terrible duet with Cliff Richard for starters. Even the box set version doesn't have any songs from his most famous album, it's baffling. Nice to have the addition of 'Crazy Love' which was missing from the 80's Best Of, but that's still a stronger collection. It's a much better idea to get all the albums from Astral Weeks to Veedon Fleece. They're all essential and you'll no doubt buy them after hearing this collection anyway, so save yourself some money and time.


5 out of 5 stars Van is the Man   November 2, 2007
Crazy Bald Heid (Surrey, England)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Whilst the man himself may be a mumbling incoherent miserabalist this belies the soul of one of the great romantic poets of our time.

From the early years as front man of Them, a kind of forgotten band but their classics Here Comes the Night and Gloria are widely known. His solo canon is quite incredible, he has a style of his own, soulful in a way that polished, modern, oversung "R&B" can never be, love songs of impossible, impassioned and often fragile beauty - everyone knows Have I Told You Lately and uplifting songs such as Domino, Brown Eyed Girl and Jackie Wilson. But there is plenty more light and shade in between.

This is a great sampler that is well remastered and does his legacy justice. Not a duff track to be found. Hell, I even like his duet with Cliff Richard, which has two things that make me rabid, Cliff and God. Now, that is power.

Be warned though - you will be off buying Astral Weeks, Moondance and the rest of his albums now that your appetite is whetted. You won't be disappointed.

Another cynical attempt to re-package and flog tracks that can be found on any one of a number of compilation albums (including 2 released this year), probably just trying to cash in on the christmas market.
Van your music is wonderful but give us something new, rather than another rehash,
