Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002
: :This is the first attempt to consolidate all of Sir Elton's hit singles, from three labels, in one collection. It once would've required at least four CDs to own the best stuff here. Many think the legendary performer was at his best in the early to mid-'70s, and the incredible string of singles that ran from 1970's 'Your Song' through 1977's 'Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word' remains mighty impressive. But in ...

'Queen - The Platinum Collection: Greatest Hits I, II & III'
: :What once seemed Queen's greatest liabilities--a preening flamboyance and pompous, overwrought theatricality--have ironically become their most enduring charms in a gray, postmodern pop-music landscape. While it eschews the glammy, pre-punk hard rock of live faves like 'Stone Cold Crazy' and 'Tie Your Mother Down' for the band's more quirky club-beat string of latter-day hits, this 51-track triple-CD anthology goes a long way toward documenting the true dimensions of the band's music and fame. ...

Live: 1975-85 (3CD)
: :To say that Springsteen's live shows with the E Street Band were legendary is the height of understatement. On a good night, the set might extend to three and four hours of exhilarating, pulse-pounding rock & roll. How best to capture that on CD? Or was it possible at all? As it turns out, Live 1975-1985 comes as close to the experience as possible. Culling material from various tours and settings ranging from ...

The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 : Rare And Unreleased, 1961-1991
: :Bob Dylan has always been incredibly prolific, only releasing a fraction of what he records. Such a policy has made him a prime target for bootleggers over the years, finally prompting this sanctioned 1991 triple-disc dive into the Dylan vaults. It consists of rare tracks, unreleased outtakes, early versions of classics ('Times They Are a-Changin',' 'Like a Rolling Stone,' 'I Shall Be Released'), and alternate versions that sometimes cut the originals ('Idiot Wind'). ...

Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968
: :That the most famous garage-rock record of all time, the Kingsmen's 'Louie Louie,' is buried on the last CD of this four-disc box is very much in keeping with the spirit of the (often) one-hit wonders that people Nuggets. Here, 'Louie Louie' is just another great song. An elaboration on the 1972 double LP, which is included in its original sequence, this set piles on dozens more great moments of inspiration, guts, chutzpah, ...
