Not a Bad Co-llection
This is a sampling of the best from their first six albums only, plus several new songs recorded for this collection. The "original" in the title refers to the original lineup, although later lineups also made excellent records. Unless you want the new recordings or outtakes or different mixes on this collection not available elsewhere, the "10 from 6" greatest hits collection is far superior to this one because that collection sounds like it could stand together as its own album. This collection just doesn't come together for some reason. The songs on the first disc sound cumbersome. They lumber along and are too deep sounding. In contrast, the songs on the second disc sound bright and are more musical and melodic, almost as if the lineup and musical direction of the band had changed. Graded separately the first disc is 3-4 stars and the second is a solid 4 stars. My preference would be to listen to all six albums in their entirety, as each one has its own internal cohesion, rather than this disparate collection.
All the Bad Company One Needs
This two-disc set compiles all the Bad Company one person really needs, taking the cream of the crop as its selections and omitting the lesser tunes from their five albums released 1973-1981. Sound has been remastered and is excellent, and the set comes with a thick booklet with lots of photos and an essay which I haven't read yet. The last four tracks on the second disc were recorded in 1998, and guess what--they're really, really good. And what's even weirder is that they sound like they were recorded much earlier than 1998 and could have fit in nicely on one of their original albums. Thus, they don't stick out stylistically from the rest of the tracks.
Bad Co is a little odd, good music on this set..but
I really can't recommend getting an anthology of this groups music.
This is one group that you really need to buy the albums instead.
There are too many songs that never hit the airwaves that you will find
are great and some cases better than what did hit the airwaves.
These guys are great live.
What should be done...
A remastered set of their albums in Hybrid SACD so nobody get's left out in the
cold, priced reasonably would be worth buying, and don't do just the first 6 albums.
It's all pretty good stuff.
