4.0 out of 5 stars An almost complete "hits" collection, September 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Singles (Audio CD)

I always bypassed the domestic (Capitol) "Greatest Hits" disc because it omitted some of Dr. Hook's hits and I wanted everything on one disc. I finally got this collection and am generally pleased because it not only contains some of their lower charting hits but also a couple from their Casablanca Records period.

One curiosity is that "Cover Of 'Rolling Stone'" features a bit of fake applause in the instrumental break (with the badly played guitar, before someone says "that's beautiful"). I don't recall hearing this song with that fake applause before. The other various artists compilations I have with this song on it do not feature the fake applause.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money., June 14, 2000

After being a fan of Dr.Hook and owning several compilations of this great band I believed that there was nothing more to get from these guys. Obviously I was wrong. When I red the track list of this CD I was thrilled that they have included "Daddy`s little girl". This is a great song from Ray Sawyers solo album from 1977, and up to now not available on CD. This CD is also a great collection of Dr.Hooks best singles during their carreer, and it contains songs from all their three labels.

Here you can find songs from their early "hippie" period with "Carrie me carrie", "Roland the roadie" and "Cover of rolling stone". Also you can find their great hits such as "Sylvias mother" and "When you`re in love...". I will end this review by saying that there is a nice overview of all their hit singles and how these singles did on the charts in the different contries. This is illustrated in the "booklet" on the cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars ALMOST PERFECT COLLECTION, May 25, 2005

This review is from: Singles (Audio CD)

The disc features all the Dr's US and UK top 40 charted hits and many other "classics" such as "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan". My two minor complaints would be that my all time fave Dr Hook song "A Little Bit More" is presented here in mono and is a slightly different mix than the one usually used and they didn't include "Sleeping Late" another of my fave tracks. Still it's rare for a best of collection to include so many of their hits so I will give it 5 stars.
