Music reviews of Al Stewart - Greatest Hits
Music Review: As with all single disc compilations, everything's a trade-off
Rating: 4 Stars
One great aspect of this compilation over previous compilations of Stewart's work is that his early work from the late 1960s and early 1970s is finally represented. Unfortunately, that early work came at the sacrifice of the live version of Nostradamus/The World Goes To Riyadh with its wonderful violin solos and the smooth vocal stylings of his youth. If I had assembled this collection, I would not have included Lord Grenville. It's a great song, but is it significantly better than, say, Broadway Hotel or, more to the point of greatness, Flying Sorcery from the same album? Also, I would have included an edited version of Song On The Radio rather than the full six and-a-half minutes here in order to accomodate that live version of Nostradamus. Not representing Stewart's live work in any way with this collection is its one Achilles Heel in my opinion.
That said, I can whole-heartedly recommend this collection to any casual fan of Stewart's work who just wants a single user-friendly disc to enjoy. Because it includes so many of his little-known early pieces as well as his biggest hits produced by none other than Alan Parsons himself, the end-user enjoys the best of both worlds. While it's difficult for me to imagine any fan of Stewart's work being fully satisfied with this (or any) compilation alone, this is still a very good product for those who prefer to dip their toe in the water as opposed to full immersion. But, to that mindset, all I can honestly say is, "come on in...the water's warm!"
