5.0 out of 5 stars IF you buy only one John Denver CD, April 9, 2001

By	Thomas Voytko (New Middletown, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a two CD set that spans JD's entire career. What I especially liked about this collection was Volume 1, which contains all his early material. It was digitally remastered from the original recordings, so I heard once again the songs as he first recorded them. Even his early material on Greatest Hits - Volume 1, as he said himself on the liner notes, was redone. If you want to hear how those early, early songs were originally recorded, this is the only CD that I am aware of that gives you that opportunity.

For first timers to JD's music, you get both an excellent historical compilation of his songs and you also will see how his singing and phrasing have changed over the years. A must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Collection, August 26, 2000

By	Andrea Neault (Port Ludlow,, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I received this CD set shortly after John Denver died. Many of the tracks are from his RCA albums, and I appreciated the raw character of his earlier recordings to the mush that often came with re-releases, the orchestration, etc. Eagle and the Hawk has the original guitar and organ ending, and I do not have another CD with Aspenglow on it. I feel the songs chosen for this collection are outstanding. A great CD to have if you have no others by this incredible songwriter.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding selection of work, September 20, 2000

By	CA Smith "reading mother" (Barre, Vermont) - See all my reviews

This is indispensable for both fans and newly interested listeners. Song after song the album delivers vintage John Denver. Although a couple of the versions are not the best, there are an incredible number here, including many timeless songs. I highly recommend it as the first JD work to buy.
