The Essential Eddie Money

The Very Best of Robert Palmer He could be the most low-key superstar in the entire pop arena. While almost anyone can name two or three Robert Palmer songs off the top of their head, it's startling to see all his monster hits packaged together and to realize just how many there were. Was Robert Palmer really ...	Cars - Complete Greatest Hits If rock's most successful and memorable acts have usually succeeded by wrapping their own distillation of music history and personal tastes in whatever fashionable trappings are currently gripping the culture, it's hardly surprising that the Cars remain one of the most enduring s...	No Control	Foreigner - Complete Greatest Hits On the cover of Foreigner's newest collection, the letters that spell out Complete Greatest Hits are cut out from world currency. For example, there's an A from Antarctica, a T from Trinidad, an M from Mongolia, and so on. At least the drive behind this third greatest-hits compil...	The Best of Eddie Money
Life for the Taking	The Essential REO Speedwagon	The Essential Electric Light Orchestra	Loverboy Classics: Their Greatest Hits Usurping the Big Ones hits package, the self-depreciating, proud, and humorous liner notes by bassist Scott Smith boost this definitive compilation. Time won't have wiped the kneejerk sneer from the mouths of critics--dismissed long ago as "eunuchs in a whorehouse" by manager Lou...	Wingspan (Hits & History) While his fellow ex-bandmates busied themselves with various high-profile projects (John Lennon with Imagine and a series of high-profile media events; George Harrison with All Things Must Pass and The Concert for Bangla Desh), Paul McCartney climbed into a van with his wife and ...

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.

15 Tracks - 59 minutes - Well Short - But At Least They're Remastered!
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.

Very good compilation but...
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.

The Essential Eddie Money?
Too many repeats of his greatest hits album. There was only one song that isn't included in his greatest hits album and some awesome tunes that were on the greatest hits that weren't included in this album. I was disappointed, but I gave it 3 stars because I do like most of the songs.

MUST HAVE for the Eddie Money Fan
Has all the great Eddie Money hits. If you're an Eddie Money fan (even part time fan) this is a must have.
