2.0 out of 5 stars How Annoying!, May 30, 2000

Very dissapointed. If you're going to remix a song, tell the buyer on the disc cover. It's notated nowhere on the outside. I put the disc in and knew immediately I was screwed. I wanted the original tunes, not the remix. Ughh.

3.0 out of 5 stars Definitely NOT the best of Gerry Rafferty, June 3, 2003

If you aren't familiar with anything by Gerry Rafferty other than "Baker Street" this album will probably satisfy you as there's nothing terrible about it at all. The remixes of the opening three cuts are pointless, but not as bad as others seem to think. But the song selection is dodgy at best. This is one person's idea of what Gerry Rafferty is about, and it's accuracy is debatable. Along with the absence of minor hits (and classics) "Days Gone Down", "Home And Dry" and "The Royal Mile" you get truncated versions of "Night Owl" and "Shipyard Town".

Again, none of this is likely to bother casual fans who aren't more familiar with Rafferty's albums, but still I would have to advise that if you're buying this solely for "Baker Street" and "Right Down The Line" you would be much better off with the original album - the all-time (if not ultimate) Rafferty classic "City To City".

I'll never for the life of me understand why artists release "best of" albums that don't include all their hit singles. The glaring ommission here of "Home and Dry" and "Days Gone Down" is unbelievable. Don't bother with this CD; instead, but "City to City" so that you get the magnificent hit single "Home and Dry", and wait for the release of Gerry's follow-up album "Night Owl" on CD to get the hit "Days Gone Down" as well as an unbutchered version of the title track.
