Highway Stars

Search: Kentucky Woman
by: Deep Purple

Release Date May 01, 2006
What! A Deep Purple compilation album! Surely not. And with 'Highway Star', 'Fireball', 'Space Truckin' and 'Speed King'. Blimey, that must have taken some planning. But hang on. What's that? 'Rat Bat Blue', 'No One Came', 'Lay Down Stay Down', 'Kentucky Woman' and 'Gettin' Tighter'. Now that's more like it. So it's an actual Mks 1 - IV compilation. Something that makes a nice change. And then it gets weird.

Because you see, bar 'Gettin' Tighter', none of them are the original versions. A fact that will pass you by should you happen upon it on an internet record shop, or even pick it up in a real record shop and flip it over to read the back. Becasue what you're getting are remixes from the various reissues that have appeared over ... Read More:

The Best Of

Search: Kentucky Woman
by: Neil Diamond

Release Date May 27, 2008
If I could make one wish this Christmas it would be as follows: Uni / MCA (whatever you're called these days) and Sony / Columbia - please, please, please stop bringing out endless 'best of' and 'greatest hits of' Neil Diamond. These wretched compilations are absolutely useless for the simply reason that it's just not possible to squeeze the best of Neil Diamond onto a single CD. The 'best of' list is just too long. If either of these two record labels wanted to do something really useful they could remaster and reissue Neil Diamond's original albums. If you really want 'the best of' you need to get hold of the following CDs: I'm a Believer (a reissue of Classics: The Early Years, which contains most of the hits from the 'Bang' era); Play ...

Love at the Greek

Search: Kentucky Woman
by: Neil Diamond

Release Date February 01, 2008
Love at the Greek is the culmination of energy and vocal maturity at the peak of his career. The Jonathan Livingston seagul medley is in my view the highlight of the album and certainly a valuable add-on to the original album. In this masterpiece he touches the audience with his heart, singing with sheer emotions, true to the sticky note that said "Remember Hal, I don't only want to be his voice, but his heart." Of course, the other songs, such as Glory Road are valuable to any ND collection too.

Platinum Collection

Search: Kentucky Woman
by: Deep Purple

Release Date June 07, 2005
This is a really good compilation - one of the best I've seen and, let's face it, there are loads of Deep Purple compilatons out there. I just wanted to correct something in one of the other reviews: this does not contain something from every DP studio album. The reason I deducted a star is because virtually nothing (just four tracks) from the band 1984-onwards is included. Most of the albums post-1984 reformation aren't featured at all e.g. Perfect Strangers (except for one 'live' version recorded much later by a different line up), House of Blue Light, Slaves and Masters, The Battle Rages On. Having said that, as a collection of DP up until that period, this is excellent, and it does include some tracks from the current line ... Read More:
