Summary: the best of steve miller
Comment: here it is all steves best in one small package.until now if you wanted his hits you'd have to buy multiple collections,but its has finally been put into one great cd everything from 1968 to 2003.sure their are a couple of fan favorites left off including "true fine love" which is a glaring omission,but nonetheless if you only want one cd from the steve miller band you cant do better.

Summary: Take the Hits and Run
Comment: The Steve Miller Band's expanded greatest-hits package is far from complete when it omits the Top 25 single "Heart Like a Wheel." We're also stuck with shortened versions of "Abracadabra" and "Swingtown." On the plus side, we have the gloriously uncut "Jet Airliner" and early classics such as "Livin' in the U.S.A." With a little more effort, this could have been the definitive Miller collection. Nevertheless, the best tracks - "Take the Money and Run," "The Joker," "Rock'n Me," "Fly Like an Eagle" and "Jungle Love" - remain essential.

Summary: Flop like a beagle
Comment: Steve Miller deserves better than this slip-shod release. Ignoring actual hits for album tracks, then putting edited versions of the hits in place of the full lengths and topping at all with one of the most god-awful covers in history, somebody was seriously asleep at the wheel here. It's even telling that I-Tunes "cover art" is a more colorful and familair Pegasis art inspired by Book of Dreams and the CDs are now stocked in stores with plastic wrap whose artowrk sheathes the embarrassment beneath.
Also, other than "Living In the USA," Miller's pre-The Joker material is brushed to the side. While many of the songs here are land-mark 70's singles, ("The Joker," "Rocking Me," "Jet Airliner") that no-one saw fit to curate this affair with any respect makes it merely an average CD of hits, cobbled together with a hack mentality and barely recognizing that Steve Miller was once one of Capitol Records' flagship artists, alongside such pioneers as The Beatles and The Beach Boys. His original Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits 1974-1978 was one of the label's all-time best sellers...and this is how they see him now? A grainy black and white picture to slap on a butchered batch of tunes? Songs to slice and dice with no discernable rhyme nor reason?
For shame.

Summary: Steve has always been a little too close to my heart.
Comment: This is a fine album; a hodgepodge of everything Miller. Just don't play it at your friend's grandmother's funeral; no good reviews there.
