5 out of 5 stars Correction to "Just A Correction".......2006-03-11

(which is painfully obvious to any REAL Dan Fan), March 7, 2006
Reviewer: B. Essex "Sings2Teddy"
FM is not a Steely Dan song - it is a Walter Fagen song.

You are joking right?! REAL Dan fan?? First of all it's Donald Fagen & Walter Becker. FM is a Steely Dan song - see below

FM
Drums and Percussion: Jeff Porcaro
Bass: Walter Becker
Guitar: Walter Becker
Steel Guitar: Cosmo Creek
Piano: Donald Fagen

Backup Vocals: Tim Schmit

5 out of 5 stars This "Best of" is very similar to "A Decade Of Steely Dan".......2005-01-03

First let me say that as a Steely Dan fan, this is a great album but, if you're after a greatest hits my recommendation is to buy ASIN: B000002P4R "A Decade Of Steely Dan".

There are three reasons for this. Firstly, the track listing beteeen the two is almost identical. "Then & Now" has a couple more songs but all the main hits are on the "Decade" album.

Secondly the "Decade" album is not an import so it is less than half price and thirdly, "FM" which is my favourite Steely Dan song has a Sax solo in this CD but on the "Decade" album the version, while otherwise identical has a guitar solo. Now I love a good sax solo as much as the next person but I don't think the sax solo does the song justice. It just doesn't have the feel that the guitar solo does. Someone told me once that Larry Carlton played the solo in FM. I don't know if this is true but it certaily sounds like his style. I know it's a personal thing but, I'd buy the "decade" album just for the FM guitar solo (ok and the cheaper price!).

4 out of 5 stars Great collection, weird sequence..........2002-11-05

Unlike most "Best Of" collections, which tend to highlight a few great songs "padded out" with a bunch of filler tracks, this Steely Dan compilation covering their "golden years" (that is, basically the whole decade of the 1970's) is truly loaded with great material from start to finish. But hey, when the group in question is Steely Dan, whose level of songwriting and musicianship was above and beyond virtually all of the "stadium rock", "smooth pop", and disco with which it shared the radio airwaves of that era, the problem is not which mediocre material to include, but rather, which excellent songs have to be omitted due to the time limitations of one CD. I think the compiler(s) did a very good job for the most part, although personally I think I would have replaced "Black Friday" with "Black Cow". If there were "1/2 stars" available, I would have given this disc 4-and-1/2 stars. The only reason I'd withhold a half star is that some of the sequences are a bit weird, none moreso than at the very beginning: We get off to an energetic start with "Reelin' in the Years", but since it's followed by "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", a fine song which was unfortunately saddled with an all-but-useless Intro of some sort of mumbling "log drums" or marimba that runs 23 seconds, we get a half minute (a long time in pop music terms) of what amounts to "dead air". If you listen while driving in your car, where this Intro barely cuts through at all, you might think there's something wrong with the disc, or your CD player. I suppose that this complaint should really be directed at the band and producer of the original track, but as Steely Dan is usually thought of as a "groove" group producing slick, toe-tapping, jazz-&-funk-inflected rock, the slowpoke Intro should have been cut out, at least for this collection; it kinda kills the pace so early in the album. There are a couple other odd sequences as well---it shows how important this aspect of producing a record can be, something that affects the listener's whole perception of it. That said, it really is a superlative batch of music, and anyway, in today's hi-tech world, you can play with the sequence as you wish, or "randomize" the tracks, which can be cool with this type of collection; just don't try to do that while driving your car---the cover photo shows what happened to those who did.

5 out of 5 stars Best "Best Of" Compilation I've Yet Seen.......1998-12-06

I bought this CD originally in Hong Kong, and it got stolen back here in the states. This is by far the best compilation of Steely Dan, and has a great history of the group in its liner notes. Thank you, Amazon, for carrying this and making it easy to replace! If anybody has a Steely Dan fan on their Christmas list, by the way, this is the one to get them.

5 out of 5 stars Glad to be german.......1998-11-23

This is a great compilation of all important Steely Dan songs and I'm glad to live in Germany because I had to pay only 13 DEM (= appr. 7.5 USD)which is a joke. It's a sad thing that this record is only available as an import in USA and therefore so expensive over there.

5 out of 5 stars The new tunes are GREAT! & a money saving tip..........2005-09-10

If you're a Nik fan, you probably already have most of what's on this CD except for 4 or 5 tunes. The new songs are superb as were his last 2 CDs - To Be Frank and 15 Minutes. He's one of the best song writers of our time, and the quality of the production that goes into the songs can't be beat. You can get the CD for less if you order from Amazon.co.uk. Even with the exchange rate and shipping charge it cost me about $21 instead of the $40 if ordered from this US site.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!.......2005-08-07

Any fan of Nik will want this. Most of his older catalog is out of print so there are a few songs I had not heard before. The 4 new songs are great songs as only Nik could do them. It will also be recommended for anyone that has not heard Nik. A lot of good positive songs. I'll also add that both Niks previous CDs, 15 'minutes' and 'To Be Frank' are fantastic as well. Buy them!

but could be better! How about including "Sing Me," "Mae," "I Am A Clown," "Romance," "Walking In The Rain," "Leave Myself A Little Time," "As Long As There's You" on the next go around, David?

2 out of 5 stars Not one for old fans.......2002-02-17

If I had known how bad this album was going to be I would never have wasted my money. When I heard it I was quite upset, this was not the famous Cassidy voice I remember, the re-mixes are awful. I could feel myself blushing with embarrasment for him. I was a big fan of Davids when I was younger even going to concerts here in England in the 70`s and all I wanted when I bought this cd was to replace my old scratched records. Who do I have to see to get my money back.
These mixes make him sound like an old pub singer trying to recreate his past, even bad kareoke is not this bad.
Sorry David this album is a definate no-no. Iwould not inflict this cd on a deaf man.

5 out of 5 stars Then and Now is a great CD!.......2002-02-01

I watched the Partridge Family when I was a kid, and enjoyed it very much. It is nice to hear these songs some of which I don't remember hearing before. When I listen to this CD it puts me into a good mood. Some of my favorites songs on the CD are Some Kind Of Summer, No Bridge I Wouldn't Cross, Sheltered In Your Arms, Rock Me Baby, and. Ricky' s Tune.

1 out of 5 stars A Sad Look At The Past.......2002-01-26

It is truly sad to hear this CD. I was a fan of The Partridge Family music when I was a teenager back in the '70's. This CD sounds like a desperate attempt for this has-been performer to re-live a certain time in his life. Let's face it, David Cassidy's success lasted about 3 years - TOPS. By listening to this CD you can hear how weak his voice has become. He can't hold the notes as long and he can't hit the high notes at all. All the youthful exuberance is gone from the his voice and, of course, from the songs that were so wonderful in it's day. My biggest question is why do this CD at all. Why not just re-release all the old material and have it sound the way people remember it. Why let people realize how your voice has deteriorated. If I were him I would not have humiliated myself by recording this CD. They couldn't have paid him all that much.

David Cassidy hasn't had any real success since his Partridge Family days. He didn't possess the talent to do other things and move on from the show, most notably like Susan Dey. Sure, he's made a living from die hard fans but they are few and far between. How many people really hold onto their crushes they had on their teen idols? Normal people grow past that and move on to normal adult lives. Cassidy, now well past 50, is still trying to grab those fans back and will get some sap, like me, to by this and be so very disappointed.

One good thing has come out of this for me. I have found a stable of very high quality bootleg CD's of The Partridge Family material and early David Cassidy (which is pretty much The Partridge Family music as well) that has not yet been released. I have also bought The Partridge Family CD's that have been released. When I want to take a walk down memory lane I will pop in one of those CD's and have very fond memories of a carefree and happy youth. It will take me a while to get those awful David Cassidy remakes out of my head but now that I've sold the CD to one of those places where you get 3 bucks for it, at least the CD is out of my house.
