Excellent CD for QS fans

"This CD is excellent if you are a Quicksilver fan. There are cuts that I have never heard before as well as better cuts from Albums that you might not want the whole CD of.. I think that the choice of material is excellent for a simple CD like this, although I might have included Fire Brothers or Don't Cry my lady love from the Quicksilver Album instead of Hope but I am sure there were reasons for this. I also have The double CD Best of Quicksilver Messenger Service Sons of Mercury that was put out some years back by Rhino, and the sound quality in this CD is about ten times better than that one. I think that some of the problem may be that the original analog tapes just do not have the quality of today's digital recordings, but as far as I was concerned the sound quality is excellent. I don't think that Capital could have done much better. A lot more attention went into this CD than went into the original recordings for these guys. The collection is not all inclusive as this could not be done on a single CD of this type, but what you get is worth much more than the price you are paying..."

"Great walk down memory lane. I had forgotten their unique sound, and I enjoyed listening to it once again. You can hear the band grow and change as they moved from rock and roll to their Quicksilver sound."
