5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best the "The Best Of", January 21, 2003

By	Marcelo Martins M. Costa "The Lawmaker" (Goiania, GO Brazil) - See all my reviews

This title is one of the best the "The Best Of" compilations I've ever heard. I own other "best of" CDs but they usually deliver the commercial songs of the band or artist. I don't really know if it's due to the fact that Budgie was not a commercial blast, but this CD shows the essence of the band and is certainly a very good acquisition for anyone who likes true hard rock / heavy metal.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent intro to Budgie's output, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

They may not have been Zeppelin, but they could rock! This album is a good overview of the three albums it covers, but to really appreciate Budgie at their raw, rockin' best, you should get the first, eponymous album - it's basic and brilliant! That said, you should BUY THIS NOW!!
