Hi And Mighty 2CD Import Has Mo' Al And Mo' Better Sound
the 'hi and mighty' 2CD import set on hi records uk is the one to get. don't get me wrong -- any al is good al, but 'greatest hits' comes up way short with several choice cuts missing. it uses the original masters and the sound is much better. you also get almost all of green's best tracks in one package. i do, however, like the cover photo on this one -- it's a classic. and if you have a dvd-audio player, definitely get the dvd-audio version with 5. 1 surround -- it sounds great. .


Can Live With It
But sending it back wasn't worth the cost. This wasn't the album that I ordered. But,it's classic Al Green. If you have a great sound system in your car and or home theater you'd get the most from it. For those of us with factory installed equipment or old cd players at home, we don't get the best from it soundwise.


Yet another reissue of this compilation.
For starters, the sound quality is NOT better than on the 1995-issued The Right Stuff reissue of this album. I must first say that this review is NOT meant to disparage or criticize Al Green or his music but to point out why you should not buy this CD. Second, the five bonus tracks featured on the 1995 edition are not included here--yet this is still a full-priced CD! Al Green was most definitely one of the most important and influential male R&B singers of the 1970s but I'd recommend going with original albums like "Let's Stay Together", "Call Me", "Al Green Explores Your Mind" and "I'm Still In Love With You" instead of this compilation which (perhaps unnecessarily) gets reissued yet again.
