This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I bought this cd primarily for one song.(Down by the River)
I have his other two good songs-(It never Rains...& Free Electric
Band)already. I was disappointed to see that they decided to replace the original song with a 1976 version, which I have Never heard before. They did this with many others as well.
I really thought I Could trust Sony, but I guess they're not immuned to screwing up GH CDs either.What were they thinking?
I guess I'll have to buy another cd and hope for better luck.

This is a very nice collection of Albert hammonds songs and though there are many more worth to be included in a Greatest Hits, this is absolutely okay. This man has a remarkable songwriting-talent and if you're not familiar with his music try this compilation and enjoy it. I like the 1976 version of "Down By The River" and it is included here and in my opinion it's a better version than his original version from 1972 (good as well).
