3.0 out of 5 stars You have to take what's available, February 22, 2006

By	J. Carroll "Jack" (Island Heights,NJ) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is a decent representation of Rafferty's work from his early folk duo,The Humblebums (partnered with Billy Connolly, no less) to his early 80's solo work and the wonderful "Baker Street." There are a number of quality tunes here and the chatty liner notes proved to be an interesting retrospective of Rafferty's career, but as another reviewer noted, this package is lacking some key songs. At least try to collect all the singles from the time period. I am ofetn disappointed by the lack of completeness with these greatest hits sets, but sometimes you have to take what's available.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing some key songs!, September 20, 2002

By	A Fan (VA) - See all my reviews

It seems that many of these "best of" compilations always leave out one or two of an artists hits and replace them with some forgetable deep track. I don't understand what they are thinking when they do this. This collection is more guilty of this than most. They left off 3 top 40 hits - Star (Stealers Wheel), Home & Dry and Days Gone Down - and the album classic City to City! Gerry and Stealers Wheel only had a total of 7 top 40 hits and they leave off nearly half of them!?! Come on now, somebody wasn't paying attention when they put this collection together!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent Gerry Rafferty complilation!, October 4, 2005

By	musicfanatic - See all my reviews

This Gerry Rafferty compilation is everything it should be and more! It has his work with The Humblegums, Stealer's Wheel and his solo work! It is the most comprehensive compilation of Gerry Rafferty that you can get, to date. The sound is great and you couldn't ask for better, in a compilation, really. This is a must for Gerry Rafferty/70's pop/rock fans!
