4.0 out of 5 stars Fads come and go, good songwriters endure!, July 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All By Myself (Audio CD)

In my Senior year of High School, Eric Carmen's "Boats Against The Current" LP provided the soundtrack to my life. As a high-school aged disc jockey, I made "Love Is All That Matters" the last song I played every night before I shut the power off at the station, dedicated to my then-sweetheart. Hearing that song again (finally on CD in this collection) brought back a tidal wave of memories for me, and this album will probably do the same for you. The only cut, in fact, missing from "Boats" here is 'Marathon Man,' a good cut, but this is easier to find than the "Boats" import CD (and cheaper too - as I've grown older, I've grown more economical.) Also, "Run Away" is as gripping a tale of young love and angst as you're likely to find. Just shows you what somebody with songwriting chops can do who doesn't have to rely on techno-beats or stealing other people's stuff. (Well, except for the classical piece he 'borrowed' for 'Never Gonna Fall In Love Again'...if you've never heard it, find it!)

Don't bother with the "non-import" best of stuff. This is the goods. The only reason this disc didn't get five stars from me is that they used the "edited" version of "All By Myself" (missing the terrific piano interlude). *sigh* Like the extra fifteen seconds was gonna make a huuuuge difference. Yeesh. Lazy record label!

If Eric Carmen's music meant anything to you at all "back then" or if it still does, don't hesitate to grab this disc.

The cd had 2 of Carmen's signature recordings. Not knowing what to expect of the remaining songs, I was pleasantly surprised. Additionally, the price of the cd was also very acceptable.

Several years ago my husband threw away all of our LPs! Included was my favorite from High School days, "All By Myself". I am thrilled to have this music again! Of course I am only going to say the best about this artist!
