3.0 out of 5 stars Too Much "Good Stuff", October 8, 2002

By 

Denny Angelle (Richmond, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Island Story (Audio CD)

Nice hodgepodge of '80s rock (U2, Winwood), pop (Frankie Goes to Hollywood) and reggae (Bob Marley, mixed up with a s---load of disco-fied drivel.

Highlights: "All Right Now" by Free, "Israelites" by Desmond Dekker, "Paper Sun" by Traffic, "Harder They Come" by Jimmy Cliff and Fairport Convention's Cajun take on Dylan's "If You Gotta Go, Go Now." The take of Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry" is his excellent in-concert version from "Live."

Maybe this should have been a single disc set.

3.0 out of 5 stars hit-biased, July 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Island Story (Audio CD)

Too many commercial 80s tracks, and not enough classic material, makes this compilation sound dated. At least they had the sense to include My Boy Lollipop!
