Classics 9 Reviews
| 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful  Not your usual boring run of the mill greatest hits albums., By A Customer This review is from: Classics 9 (Audio CD) A Wonderful retrospective from one of the most talented and clever bands. Great selections from those classic albums of theirs but there is one question. Why are the tracks from their biggest seller Breakfast in America much shorter whereas the others aren't? "Goodbye Stranger", "The Logical Song" and "Take the Long Way Home" aren't the same unless they are heard in their entirety. If you buy this album, I highly suggest you go out and pick up the Breakfast In America album where you can experience the uncut versions of those wonderful songs. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful  Get "The Very Best" NOT "Classics", By This review is from: Classics (MP3 Download) "Classic" Supertramp was released in 1987 when it was still common to cut a minute or two off of songs and master the CD from a 10th generation master that happened to be available. As a result, several of the songs on "Classics" have the guitar solors chopped and the poorly remastered sound quality similar to an eight track tape.It is shameful that Amazon.com would be selling this 1987 product in 2011 when the FAR better "The Very Best of Supertramp" has the same songs in their full length versions remastered from high quality master tapes. "Very Best" has sound quality that makes it seem that you are in the studio with the band. Yeah, the GOOD version costs $2 more...less than the cost of a hamburger to get the REAL Supertramp. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful  Don't get me wrong......, By This review is from: Classics 9 (Audio CD) I'm a huge Supertramp fan, but I was crushed upon purchasing this collection. I picked it up just before closing time and hurried home to make a cassette copy (this was the late 80's,) only to find that they'd shortened several of the songs, Goodbye Stranger in particular. I was sitting there, singing along with the stereo, and when the whistling solo was supposed to start, I started whistling right alongside, only I found myself whistling alone. CD's like this one are the kind of things that give record companies a bad name. They might be okay for the casual fan, but if you're serious about a particular group, I'd steer clear of the A&M Classics releases. |
