1.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, but the Price isn't right for this terrible CD!, April 7, 2002

By	Harris Fogel (PA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sometimes a bargain, just isn't a bargain! When I saw the track listing, and the price, I had high hopes, and I ordered this CD before the holidays in December, after finally purchasing the import CD release of Price's masterpiece, O'Lucky Man. I didn't open it till just recently, and it's a huge disappointment. Why? Well, several of the tracks are mastered from albums! Complete with clicks, pops, and bad tracking! The sound is abysmal in places, and even with a half-hearted attempt at noise reduction, this is truly low fidelity.

While the track listing is great, and some of the later tracks appear to have mastered from a reasonable tape, this CD set is really something to be ashamed of. So... I'm going to send mine back to Amazon, and purchase something another title. So, buyer beware!

I completely agree with the previous review. I like Alan Price's music, but his sixties hits on this collection sound terrible and the best seventies songs are inferior live versions. Don't buy this cd!

a great deal indeed for this 2 cd set. 4 and a half stars. start of price's early years to 1980. wonderful songwriter, great live singer! his voice might sound goofy at first, but not bad at all.some of prices late 70's stuff were not too good, only a few songs are here from that time period.Not at all like his ex-band mate eric burdon!
