5.0 out of 5 stars All the greatest tracks from the 1970s, 6 Nov 2004

By	Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

This is a thorough compilation of Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel's 1970s output. They were an art rock band with a distinctive, accessible sound, somewhat influenced by contemporaries like Roxy Music and David Bowie. The album includes all their hits and popular album tracks from the 1970s like Make Me Smile, Judy Teen, Here Comes The Sun, Love's A Prima Donna, Freedom's Prisoner, Mr Raffles, Roll The Dice, Psychomodo, Mr Soft, White White Dove and Sebastian. Judy Teen and Make Me Smile are brilliant pop-rock tunes, Sebastian is an impressive piece of proto-Goth and Tumbling Down is a delightful operatic excursion. The other compilation, Best Of 70s, contains more of Harley's solo work plus a lot of these classics. The songs on The Cream Of have stood the test of time very well, because they are tuneful and melodic and the lyrics are special and memorable. Cockney Rebel's unique sound added much to the UK charts in the 1970s. The songs will live on and on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cream of the Crop, 13 Oct 2004

By	"spruce_bruce" - See all my reviews

The latest in many Harley/Rebel greatest hits collections. This one was purchased to replace my old, cherished, worn-out vinyl copy.
Having been such a big fan, this collection did not really do it for me. The songs are the same but the remastered, too perfect CD renditions of many of the songs doesn't sound right. Harley grew up on vinyl and many of these songs belong on vinyl. Undeniable classics such as Make Me Smile, Tumbling Down, Judy Teen and the Best Years of Our Lives sound too pure. More roughness required.
Still gets 4 stars though.

5.0 out of 5 stars aN IMPORTANT AND ECLECTIC COLLECTION BY A MAJOR PLAYER, 24 Sep 2000

By A Customer

Steve Harley was never given due credit for his brilliance as a songwriter, particularly of imaginative, often dark, dense lyrics, sometimes full of tongue-in-cheek humour. An eclectic writer. A fine singer of some beautiful songs. Essential to any Rebel fan of any age.
