1.0 out of 5 stars Not A Sensible Choice, January 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Fans of the Captain beware. Although this album's title suggests these are original recordings, most of them are from live performances. If you're looking for the brilliant and hilarious original studio versions of songs like "Glad It's All Over," "Smash It Up Part IV," and "Happy Talk," this is not the album to buy. Cleopatra Records ought to be ashamed of itself for such blatant false advertising.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Recording, September 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Due to the Captain's disputes with his former record label, there is no other way to get the good Captain's early solo music than to get it on a live recording. This compilation offers many of those early titles, but the recording and music quality is so poor, it does not even sound like the Cap. My advise: wait for a better compilation, there are enough fans of the Captain to get the old stuff away from his old record label.

It's a truly unfortunate state of affairs when this is the best collection of Captain's early work on CD.

Since I'm not too big a fan of the newer stuff, I bought this for the old stuff and was left wanting for it. The sound quality is awful and the songs mostly unrecognizable. At this point I'm about ready to buy a CD-Recorder and a turntable so I can put my old Captain vinyl on CD-R.

Too bad too, as this way, no one really comes out happy...
