 Yea

| These are all Eddie's big hits. It's very nice to have but like all greatest hits, it leaves out a few gems. As it is no one should be disappoinited in this CD. Personally I like the older songs better. They are much more creative. But I do enjoy the newer stuff too. Why not. It's Eddie. |

 Good career retrospective

| No "essential" or "best of" compilation is perfect, but this one is pretty close. All of Eddie's big hits are here, along with a few other important album tracks. All in all, a solid retrospective for an underrated performer who had several fun, catchy tunes in the late 70s and early 80s. |

Good Compilation

| I am not a hard core Eddie Money fan. I really like a few of his songs and had a hard time finding a CD that had all the ones I like on it. This Cd had all the songs of his I really like, and I am not dissapointed in it at all. Good sound quality, as well. |

I've owned and loved "Eddie Money" (1977) and "Life For The Taking" (1978) since they were released on Epic back in the day. I bought the US-only crappy 80's CDs of these titles years ago (Eddie Money CK 34909 and Life For The Taking CK 35598) and have been waiting for remasters ever since - in vain.
The reason I say this is that Columbia/Legacy's "Essential" series are all re-masters - as is this - it's just that it misses out badly on his first 2 and most beloved albums. Some in the series are double CDs for a budget price, so why oh why did they scrimp it on this - especially when fans have been bombarded with inferior 'Best Ofs' for years??
I've listed the tracks below and the albums they're off to show you what I mean and also help potential purchasers in knowing what's what:
1. Two Tickets To Paradise (Eddie Money, 1977)
2. Baby Hold On (Eddie Money, 1977)
3. Wanna be A Rock "N' Star (Eddie Money, 1977)
4. Gimme Some Water (Life For The Taking, 1978)
5. Get A Move On (Playing For Keeps, 1980)
6. Trinidad (Playing For Keeps, 1980)
7. Shakin' (No Control, 1982)
8. Think I'm In Love (No Control, 1982)
9. No Control (No Control, 1982)
10. Take Me Home Tonight (Can't Hold Back, 1986)
11. I Wanna Go Back (Can't Hold Back, 1986)
12. Walk On Water (Nothing To Lose, 1988)
13. I'll Get By (Right Here, 1991)
14. Peace In Our Time (Sound Of Mercy, 1989)
15. There Will Never Be Another You (Love & Money, 1995)
As you can see, the 2nd album is ill served with 1 track represented - when there was clearly room for 3 or 4 more! After his 3rd album "Playing For Keeps", I thought his writing went well off the boil. So we get 11 tracks from albums we don't really want, but only 4 from the first two that we do!
Still, what is to treasure on here is the sound - remastered in 2003 - these tracks sound 2 or 3 times better than the original CDs still being sold to this day.
I do wish Legacy would do expanded versions of "Eddie Money" and "Life For The Taking" - US fans in particular have been clamouring for them for years. They really do deserve Rock'n'Roll rediscovery.
To sum up, this is a great sounding re-mastered set for sure, but it's just such a shame that the disc wasn't filled up more fully. |

| Where is "Take A Little Bit?" This is a great song from the No Control album. That's really the only song that I miss from this CD. |
