Product Description

Product Description
The Greatest features the very best tunes, picked from Ian Brown’s four solo albums since leaving the Stone Roses. Highlights include "My Star", "Love Like a Fountain", "F.E.A.R." and the new single, "All Ablaze".

Ltd Collectors Edition with 48 page hardback book, extensive sleeve notes, rare photos & bonus disc

CD Description
Erstwhile Stone Roses vocalist culls the best of the four solo albums he has put out since that band imploded in 1997. From the embittered lo-fi rock of 'Unfinished Monkey Business' to the baggy, danceable psychedelia of his latest effort 'Solarized', this collection demonstrates Brown's talent andhis dedication to trying out eclectic new ideas. Also includes remix tracks from the 'Remixes Of The Spheres' album andthe new single 'All Ablaze'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ian Brown IS The Greatest., 28 Jun 2005
By A Customer
A tremendous collection from one of our few musical icons....and where would we be without him. All the hits (and there are plenty of them) make this a musical expedition led by a man who never sought his iconic status. His post Roses plans were supposed to be as a gardener, but while 'the other one' has faded away, Ian Brown's star is burning brighter than ever. The new tracks on this record (All Ablaze, Lovebug..)show that IB's career is still in the ascendency and are an indication that this album is a pit stop, not a full stop. an essential buy for the sumer and your life!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is The Greatest, 5 Oct 2005
This is an excellent ,quality package ,well worth the money. Fiction have not skimped on the quality and Ian Brown has included plenty of new material to ensure fans are rewarded with real value for money.Don't hesitate.

5.0 out of 5 stars It just gets better and better for Ian Brown, 9 Sep 2005
This album is fantastic. All of these tracks are amazing and Ian Brown is an absolute legend. The tracks are all so different (Be There is stunning) and so what if IB isnt Frank Sinatra - he never claimed to be - it's his energy, presence and the true star quality that set him apart from the rest of the imitators (Charlatans, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs - they all wanna be him and he was there first, by a long, long way). He has signed up to a further two album deal and I cant wait. We all knew who the talent in the Stone Roses and why the second album was so bad (Ian wrote hardly any of it). John Squire must be weeping.

Buy the delux edition for the versions of Thriller and Billie Jean - crazy but outstanding.

Oh, and the music fan from Scotland - Love Bug is not a new song, it is a B-side of Time is My Everything (Solarized album)
