Like many Americans, I first heard of Al Stewart after the release of "Past, Present and Future", which featured his majestic story-song of the WWII Russian campaign, "Roads to Moscow". And a legion more of us knew of him after his biggest smash, "Year of the Cat". So it's a joy to be introduced to some of his earlier works in this collection, as well as to hear the old favorites again after two or three decades. Though, as with virtually all one-disc collections, there are puzzling omissions (no "Nostradamus"?) this is a well-conceived collection (as most Rhino collections are), perfectly remastered, and very reasonably priced. Stewart's albums were always lushly produced (thanks in no small part to Alan Parsons), and his sweet, sunny vocals were always easy on the ear. Add to that his estimable songwriting skills, and solid studio support by everyone from members of Fairport Convention to Tori Amos, and you have a collection of songs that satisfies from beginning to end. I always liked Al Stewart, but this release exceeded my expectations.
