4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, but incomplete, October 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ride Like the Wind: The Best of Christopher Cross (Audio CD)

This is a great sounding CD. Besides the obvious hits (Sailing, Ride like the wind, Arthur's theme, All right), there are a few superb discoveries (Someday, Love is love), but too bad some great tunes got left out (No time for talk, Think of Laura, Deal 'em again). Until a complete studio retrospective, you'll need this one plus Another Page.

4.0 out of 5 stars Check out "The Definitive Christopher Cross", January 2, 2002

This review is from: Ride Like the Wind: The Best of Christopher Cross (Audio CD)

This CD contains some of Cross' hits but before buying this check out the digitally remastered "The Definitive Christopher Cross". It contains nineteen songs, seven of which were top hits, and also includes "A Chance for Heaven" written for the '84 Olympics. If you're a Christopher Cross fan (and who isn't) TDCC is the ultimate collection to date. For further info check out my review on TDCC.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where is the American counterpart?, December 3, 2001

This review is from: Ride Like the Wind: The Best of Christopher Cross (Audio CD)

This release gets 4 stars simply because there has been no effort on the part of Warner Bros. to put together ANY kind of Christopher CRoss compilation! What is with these Neanderthals?! Even Leif Garrett has a compilation CD out, for God's sake...

That said, the most essential songs are here: "Sailing," "Ride Like The Wind," Arthur's Theme" and "All Right." But why include "Words Of Wisdom" (From Another Page) when it was never even released as a single? And why put "Love Is Love" on the collection but leave off "Never Be The Same," a top 10 hit single?

A definitive (HINT: 2 disc) compilation would include "Think Of Laura," "A Chance At Heaven" (recorded for the 1984 Olympics tribute album) and "The Best Christmas" (1990), as well as several worthwhile songs from his latest releases. Here's hoping this will happen during my lifetime! Until then, this release is well worth the extra cost of admission!
