THE COLLECTION

Sincerely, "The Collection" is a compilation pretty interesting if you do not know BJH. Otherwise you can just leave it on the record shop shelf! I think building a compilation of compositions of EMI period , so the years 1969 - 1973, is not a bad idea. Except that "The Collection" is not well built.

Leaving aside the fact that a booklet with a minimum of bio and info would help (also considering that this compilation is branded EMI Gold) would move to the music. Now I would observe that those who at the time noted that BJH and The Moody Blues was very similar was not out of the way. But BJH were a hundred times more Rock. So it must be said, in my opinion, that were a little less BJH Prog. But this is an advantage, with their style.

Returned to "The Collection" I must admit that the compilation, in the end I like, too. But only for a few songs I would recommend it. And these songs are: "Poor Wages", "Mocking Bird", "Medicine Man" (here in single version), "The Iron Maiden", "Galadriel", "Someone There You Know" and "Song For The Dying". But I admit, these songs, although half of the track list, raise the value of music in a compilation with a nice cover but too poor in general.
