All Time Greatest Hits

by Jay & the Americans

Overview

As far as it goes, this 26-minute CD is pretty good, as a sort of bite-sized account of the group's chart hits -- about the same length and ten songs that an oldies station might program in a "special" on the group's history. The mastering is better than decent, which is a surprise, as this release pre-dates the general upgrade that began in the mid-'90s -- the group's tracks always translated well to CD, in any era of the format, and only "She Cried" doesn't quite measure up to the quality of the rest. There are no notes at all, not a surprise considering the seven dollar list price, but if this material isn't reasonably self-explanatory, then there's no '60s rock music that is. ~ Bruce Eder
