3.0 out of 5 stars All great songs, but..., February 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: The Best of the Allman Brothers Band (Audio CD)

These are all excellent songs, but the money you spend on this you should be spending on Beginnings, Live at Fillmore East and Eat A Peach. These three discs have most of these songs plus the rest of the albums which are just as essetial.

3.0 out of 5 stars CLASSIC SONGS, BUT GO FOR "DECADE OF HITS" INSTEAD, January 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: The Best of the Allman Brothers Band (Audio CD)

This CD is one of a series of greatest hits cds that have been released on established acts, including BB King & Lynyrd Skynyrd. As with the others in the series, the song list is rather incomplete. If you are looking for a much better best-of package of the Allman Brothers Band's first classic period, go for "Decade of Hits" instead. You will get an additional 5 songs and a better overall picture of their music for just a couple of more dollars.

If you are not a greatest hits album collector, but are starting your ABB collection, I would begin with "Fillmore Concerts" (2cd enhanced edition of the classic Live at Fillmore East) or "Eat A Peach", both from the early 1970s. "Mycology" is another excellent "hits" compilation that covers much of the ABB's second classic period of the 1990s and is a great value, also.

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: The Best of the Allman Brothers Band (Audio CD)

This album is a steal at Amazon's price. Every song on the album was a big hit in my generation. I think that this collection of 11 songs is fantastic. The quality of the sound is superb and well remastered. For anyone to be disappointed in this album makes me wonder if they really know ABB. I highly recommend this "Millinium" production. If you're just starting your collection of ABB, this is the one to start with. If all you want is one album of ABB, this is the best one for it's price. Either way, don't miss out, buy it today!
