PROG REVIEWER

Most Traffic fans would never settle for a "Best Of" compilation; even a double-CD set like this leaves out some very good tracks from just about every album. However, someone without a lot of room (like myself) might be able to get by with this compilation plus a few key albums. A Traffic box set is surely on the horizon, but this will have to do until that arrives. Note: this set does not contain any of their live recordings, which would have been nice. Another reason to get that future box set......
