Ultimate Collection album Product Description
Ultimate Collection album by Who was released Jun 11, 2002 on the UTV label. Initial pressings of THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION included a limited edition bonus disc featuring four previously unreleased tracks. Ultimate Collection songs Recorded between November 1964 and June 1982. Ultimate Collection album Includes liner notes by Matt Kent and Andy Neill. When it comes to a ground-breaking, iconic band like the Who, dubbing an anthology THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION is no small claim. The kicker here is that it happens to be the truth. Without venturing into the realm of the box set, there's never been such a definitive batch of Who tunes all under one roof before. Virtually all the bases are covered here, from such attitude-laden mid-'60s mod anthems as "My Generation" and "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" to the conceptual expansiveness of TOMMY-era tunes ("I'm Free," "See Me Feel Me"). We get the full-on long-haired, bare-chested glory of the early '70s ("Won't Get Fooled Again") as well as the tapered, synth-flecked smartness of the early '80s ("Eminence Front," "You Better You Bet." For someone looking for an entry point into the work of this larger-than-life group, or just somebody who wants a great all-purpose who disc, THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION is truly a case of truth in advertising. ...See Full Description

| Simply the Best!!! This is the best who compilation yet,2 cds of who classics.not a bad song here.Now there are slight differences in the uk&usa sets,but either way this is the best of the WHO!!!!! By jeffk (oklahoma) |
| Excellent Tunes!! Great CD for the ones who enjoy GREAT music By a reviewer (Lake Placid , Florida)  |
| Well, it's About Time....! Okay,so the rule of thumb with "Greatest Hits" packages is that about half of it is really great stuff and the other half makes you wonder what the record company guys were on when they assembled it. And then you have to wonder what happened to all the other great stuff they left off. Well, it did NOT happen this time. Every song on this TRUE "ultimate Collection" is a winner. Die-hard fans may find one or two vital songs missing ("The Relay", "We're Not Gonna Take it"), but hey, it's not a perfect world. Just look at all the gems that are included here! Think of it as the poor man's boxed set. By a reviewer (Eugene, OR, USA) |
| Terrible Mastering or it's my speakers/polk 70's I finally played this cd and the bass is overpowering and muddy and the entire cd is remastered LOUD,LOUD!,. The remastering of this album took a lot of liberties. Buy The Who/ Who's better,Who's Best cd the AAD version for a bit more realism to the original sound.I just played the same songs from both albums and am now throwing the Ultimate Collection in the trash. This must have been made for the license plate rattling generation, quite terrible sounding to me. By fred (Bristol,Ct) |
| This is by far the best album put together I have heard hundreds and hundreds of rock band albums and I believe that this album tops them all. I think this album puts the The Who above the greats like the Beatles, Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones, ect. If you are just starting to enjoy the greatness of the Who or has been a fan and you don't have this album, I advise that you get this and not The My Generation album because althought that album is great, it lacks some great songs like Eminence Front, Behind Blue Eyes, Bargin, and more.
