"I am a huge Christy Moore fan but was left with a hollow feeling after listening to these recordings. The majority are B sides for a reason. The sound quality is terrible in many places and Christy's voice unrecognizable - though he was very young in some of the recordings. I would recommend for the fanatic who owns all of Christy's recordings and wants to get his/her hands one something new.

"Once again Christy Moore has proven that he is one of the most brilliant poets and musicians that we have, if I could have given this more than 5 stars I gladly would. Christy Moore's passion, empathy, gorgeous voice and beautiful music are things you can just get lost in. At the end of a hard day, when I want to just center myself and focus inward AND put things into perspective (there are bigger problems in the world than mine) I listen to Christy and everything just melts away. At the same time I become caught up in his passion and in his empathy, singing at the top of my lungs about Bobby Sands as I prepare dinner! I love his commentary on the cds and I love the different versions of songs he has chosen for this collection. It is very interesting to listen to Christy as a young musician and then hear him now that he is older, his voice has changed, become more full, but I love both. This is a must have collection for any fan of Christy and a great introduction to his music for anyone willing to take a leap of faith--you absolutely will not regret buying this collection. If I were trapped on an island . . . well you know the rest! Enjoy!
Heather (who regrets that she didn't discover Christy until college but is enternally grateful that it happened)."
