A Hit and Miss Collection With a Few Nice Rarities... There's not a lot new there, though, if you're already familiar with his solo work. Fans of Daltrey's vocals will enjoy this collection, particularly the first disc which collects songs from his more well-received early solo albums. The second disc has a lot of potential, but the song-selection is somewhat frustrating (particularly when it comes to picking songs from Daltrey's good-to-excellent "Rocks in the Head" album). There are a handful of really nice rare live tracks, though, including a version of "Born to Run" that'll have you wondering why he chose to do this song in concert. Finally, the collection closes with a "new" studio track that shows there's more to Daltrey's vocal technique than just macho bluster. Overall, it's a fine collection to have and definitely worth picking up on the cheap BUT, if you like what you hear, be sure to get a copy of "Rocks in the Head". You won't regret it!. a few gems and a lot of junk problem is this comp doesn't include many of the keepers off the first album or raging moon. there's a handful of great songs, but they are all either on the first album (worth owning on it's own) or on the soundtrack with "free me" or the "under a raging moon" album. at least the list price is pretty low.
