EXTD=r 7, 1995\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Blood, Sweat & Tears' 11-track Gr
EXTD=eatest Hits album, released in February 1972, contained all of th
EXTD=e group's six Top 40 singles, plus notable tracks from its two be
EXTD=st albums, Child Is Father to the Man and Blood, Sweat & Tears. A
EXTD=lmost 24 years later came this 32-track, 138-and-a-half-minute, d
EXTD=ouble-CD expansion, much of it extraneous. Where Greatest Hits co
EXTD=ntained the single edits of songs like "You've Made Me So Very Ha
EXTD=ppy" and "And When I Die," here "all titles are original album ve
EXTD=rsions," as the back cover noted, which means the jazzy interlude
EXTD=s, frequently having nothing to do with the rest of the song, rem
EXTD=ained. There were a couple of unreleased tracks, and otherwise th
EXTD=e bloated running time was filled out by, for example, four track
EXTD=s from the 1972 stiff New Blood, which didn't even feature singer
EXTD= David Clayton-Thomas. Legacy would have better served consumers 
EXTD=by either expanding the original 41-minute Greatest Hits to prope
EXTD=r CD length with a few bonus tracks or reissuing the first two al
EXTD=bums in a double-disc set, again with a few bonus tracks to fill 
EXTD=up the time. This compilation did not enhance the band's reputati
EXTD=on. And the error-filled liner notes are less than worthless.  --

EXTD=T Collection, August 26, 2000\nReviewer: A music fan\nIf your app
EXTD=reciation for Blood Sweat & Tears goes beyond just the "hits," th
EXTD=en this is the set for you. In addition to the full-length (not e
EXTD=dited for radio) versions of such B.S.& T. classics as "Spinning 
EXTD=Wheel," "Hi-De-Ho" and "Lucretia McEvil," this collection contain
EXTD=s the essential tracks that defined their unique mixture of sound
EXTD=s. From jazz-heavy gems like "Smiling Phases," and "Something's C
EXTD=omin' On," to Rockin' cuts like "Go Down Gamblin'" and "More & Mo
EXTD=re," Blood Sweat & Tears versatility remains truly refreshing. Al
EXTD= Kooper's pre David Clayton Thomas contribution particulary on "I
EXTD= Can't Quit Her," and "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know," ma
EXTD=ke this a true retrospective. Unfortunately, both discs are not c
EXTD=reated equal. The second disc is a little thin featuring many cut
EXTD=s between David Clayton Thomas' two stints with the group. Howeve
EXTD=r as a total package, this is a must for serious Blood Sweat & Te
EXTD=ars fans.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nMusic is Father to the J
EXTD=oyful Experience!, May 10, 2000\nReviewer: Archie Mercer "Archie"
EXTD= (Fullerton, CA USA)\nBlood Sweat & Tears started out as 8 musici
EXTD=ans trying to make ends meet. It ended (well kind of since Clayto
EXTD=n-Thomas is still fronting a version of the band) as a 9 piece gr
EXTD=oup with no direction. In between was a lot of great music that c
EXTD=ritics never could figure out. Were they a rock group? Or maybe J
EXTD=azz? The point here is that sometimes people think too darn hard 
EXTD=about what's behind the music, and never take the opportunity to 
EXTD=just enjoy it. Starting with "Child is Father to the Man" BS&T ke
EXTD=pt changing and refining their sound and music. This Greatest Hit
EXTD=s collection gives the listener a wonderful feel of how their mus
EXTD=ic evolved. Some the early covers, such as Traffic's "Smiling Pha
EXTD=ses" and Laura Nyro's "And When I Die" show the ability to change
EXTD= styles without missing a beat. It's also interesting to note tha
EXTD=t while 5 songs were included from BS&T 4, they left off probably
EXTD= the best of the lot, which was "Redemption". This oversight is m
EXTD=ade up for later by the inclusion of the live version of "Mean Ol
EXTD=e World" which was originally recorded by the band with Jerry LaC
EXTD=roix on lead vocals but brought to life by Clayton-Thomas after h
EXTD=e returned to the group. Other notable songs include "John the Ba
EXTD=ptist", an Al Kooper piece from BS&T 4, "Snow Queen/Maiden Voyage
EXTD=" and "40,000 Headman", another Traffic cover. If you like a lot 
EXTD=of different styles of music, from rock to jazz, from pop to blue
EXTD=s, "do yourself a favor/wake up to your mind/life is what you mak
EXTD=e it": Grab this collection!\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nFrom 
EXTD=Experimental to Mainstream, April 29, 2000\nReviewer: Steve Vrana
EXTD= (Aurora, NE)\nBlood, Sweat & Tears started out as an experimenta

EXTD=usicians led by Al Kooper. The result was the critically acclaime
EXTD=d but poor selling Child Is Father to the Man--the album peaked a

EXTD= second album, Blood Sweat & Tears, sells two million copies and 
EXTD=yields three million-selling singles: You've Made Me So Very Happ
EXTD=y," "Spinning Wheel" and "And When I Die." It was a situation tha
EXTD=t reminded me of the old Starkist tuna commercial: "Sorry, Charli
EXTD=e, people don't want tuna with good taste; they want tuna that ta
EXTD=stes good." BS&T's debut hit all the right notes and should have 
EXTD=been a big hit, but the masses weren't ready to accept it. Instea
EXTD=d, they wanted the more radio-friendly hits. This collection comp
EXTD=romises and gives you both. \nDisc-1 contains four tracks from Ch
EXTD=ild Is Father to the Man and inlcudes most of the hits most fans 
EXTD=will recognize. Disc-2 tracks BS&T's decline in popularity. Only 
EXTD="Go Down Gamblin'" reached the Top 40.\n\nWhile BS&T's Greatest H
EXTD=its would also give you all the hits on a single disc--and cheape
EXTD=r, too--What Goes Up! will give you a more thorough picture of on
EXTD=e of the late-Sixties best ground-breaking bands. RECOMMENDED\n\n

EXTD=h 7, 2000\nReviewer: "mavennd" (New York)\nIn My opinion Ian Cren
EXTD=na like most rock based critics never got the point of Blood,Swea
EXTD=t & Tears. These passages are not crudely inserted and do not sou
EXTD=nd clumsy. Here is a band that did and could play jazz as well as
EXTD= rock. They brought something new to the table. The placement of 
EXTD=these instrumental passages were what made this group interesting
EXTD=. For all those who like complex arrangements with the drive of r
EXTD=ock. One could argue about what shoud've been included, but enoug
EXTD=h was included to satisfy. The cuts are complete not edited for s

EXTD=ralia Australia)\n"What Goes Up" is an excellent overview of BS&T
EXTD='s ouevre from 1967 till late. The Al Kooper tracks, particularly
EXTD= "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know", are a refreshing change
EXTD= in style to the more familiar incarnation which featured David C
EXTD=layton-Thomas on lead. The second disc is my favourite due to its
EXTD= unfamiliarity - "Snow Queen" is outstanding, as is Herbie Hancoc
EXTD=k's "Maiden Voyage". Overall, one of the best compilation albums

EXTD= the band were pioneers in the realm of jazz-rock fusion. Leader 
EXTD=Al Kooper took the progressive ideas of his former group, the Blu

EXTD=d, Sweat & Tears reorganized around new singer David Clayton-Thom
EXTD=as and radically simplified their approach, becoming the missing 
EXTD=horn-rock link between the Buckinghams and Chicago. Though far re
EXTD=moved from Kooper's original vision, this music is undeniably cat
EXTD=chy and often dazzling.
