Editorial Reviews

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The early hits, February 6, 2002

If you are like me and love the early stuff of Rod the Mod when he was with Faces and you own vinyl such as "every picture tells a stoy" or "never a dull moment" then buy this compilation with confidence. The remastering is very good and worth every penny spent.I never was one for Rods stuff in the later years so this fits into my collection of British Invasion artists perfectly. Lets all hope Rod continues to reach back into his earlier years as he seems to be of recent.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT ESSENTIAL, BUT GOOD ENOUGH, May 22, 2005

If you're a die-hard Rod fan, you'll want to purchase his box sets, or even better, every single album he put out. If you're just the casual listener interested in hearing Rod before he changed his musical style, this CD is definitely a great purchase. Every well-known (or noteworthy) song he did during the Mercury-era is here, and they are all pure listening enjoyment. Rod's husky vocals, the awesome electric guitars, and the gorgeous fiddles and mandolins make each song--fast or slow--classics in their own unique right.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best cuts from the best era, January 18, 2005

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: The Best Of Rod Stewart (Millennium Collection) (Audio CD)

This music is Stewart's classic material from the early and mid 70's...when rock and blues were mixed with his terrific voice. I would also recommend Atlantic Crossing, although none of it's music is included in this collection. Later collections (through the late-70's and 80's) are really inferior to what we have on this CD.
