 (4 Customer Reviews)
Initial pressings of THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION included a limited edition bonus disc featuring four previously unreleased tracks.
Recorded between November 1964 and June 1982. Includes liner notes by Matt Kent and Andy Neill.
Limited-edition Japanese release features a bonus four-song CD for the initial pressing, including "Substitute (Rare U.S. Single Version)", "I'm A Boy (Easy Version)", "Happy Jack (Acoustic Version)", & "Magic Bus (U.K. Single Version)".
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. Get one.
Japanese edition of the most comprehensive Who collection ever features the same cover art as the UK edition.

I know you spend ALOT MORE when you buy these discs, and my friends think I'm certifably insane for doing so, but until you've delved into the world known as true high-end audio, you really don't know (maybe don't care, thank you) about the quality of what you listen to. That's too bad because when you get better sound you'll listen to the music longer and get more enjoyment out of it. How many times have you gone to your cd collection and noticed, maybe, hundreds of discs go unplayed for years? Buy better sounding recordings: it will help, somewhat.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. Great retrospective collection
As usual, Japanese releases are of the highest quality and this is no exception. 37 classic "Oo" tracks. Unfortunately CD Universe listed this 2-disc set as coming with the bonus disc. When it arrived, suprise - no bonus disc. So if you're expecting a bonus disc with this set look elsewhere.

Ultimate Collection songs

There's no shortage of legendary producers in line to work with music world titans U2; when work with Rick Rubin broke off, Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois stepped in. The resulting NO LINE ON THE HORIZON, 2009's offering from the Irish rockers, continues in the grand U2 tradition, as soaring pop anthems like opening single "Get on Your Boots" pair with experimental melanges like "Tripoli," on a striking album featuring touches of all the albums come before, yet hinting at new worlds for Bono to conquer.
After spending the 1990s experimenting with electronic music and returning to arena-ready rock during the first few years of the 21st century, U2 stakes out territory somewhere between those two points on 2009's NO LINE ON THE HORIZON. Enlisting its go-to production trio of Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Steve Lillywhite, the Irish quartet seems intent on crafting a quirkier companion piece to HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB, and they succeed with restless tracks such as "Get on Your Boots," which sounds like "Vertigo" hijacked by T. Rex, and "Stand Up Comedy," a wiry number that lets the Edge cut loose with barbed guitar lines. Some of most striking songs on HORIZON are the ones that venture farthest from U2's comfort zone, as on the surprisingly ...

Don Henley's slinky, eerie "Witchy Woman" is another highlight, as is the languid, lovely "Peaceful, Easy Feeling" (both tracks appeared on THEIR GREATEST HITS 1971-1975, along with "Take It Easy"). But there are other gems tucked away here too, like the Bernie Leadon/Gene Clark-penned "Train Leaves Here This Morning." EAGLES is a varied, smartly composed and totally pleasurable debut; it defined the sound of one of the 1970s' most popular bands.
Import pressing of their 1972 self titled album. Vinyl replica CD comes housed in a slipcase. Rhino UK. 2006.
