Tom Jones Greatest Hits Rediscovered 2cd (2010)

2010 two CD live collection from the veteran Rockers. Greatest Hits Live contains 22 career spanning performances from one of the greatest bands of all time! Includes rare live recordings of some of their biggest hits such as 'Pinball Wizard', 'Who Are You', 'Baba O'Riley' and 'Won't Get Fooled Again'.

Released on 08/11/10. A 2CD set with 30 songs lasting over 2 hours of Prog and Rock’s biggest stars reconstructing Pink Floyd’s epic masterpieces. The influence of Pink Floyd upon modern rock music simply cannot be overestimated. Pink Floyd have inspired a diverse group of artists and we now bring you the best of their versions of classic Pink Floyd songs with such artists as: Adrian Belew (King Crimson), Alan White (Yes), Billy Sherwood (Yes), Keith Emerson (ELP), Vinyl Clarita, Controlled Bleeding, Alien Sex Fiend, John Wetton (Asia), Steve Lukather (Toto), Tommy Shaw (Styx), Dweezil Zappa…and many many more!

Manic Street Preachers have always been a band of very specific charms, something that has not translated outside of the U.K. particularly well. Although it boasts a generous 20 tracks, the 2002 compilation Forever Delayed isn't likely to change that situation, even if it has the lion's share of their big singles, since a band devoted to sloganeering doesn't play outside of their province, or era, without some knowledge of their context…

This is one of those albums that requires the prospective purchaser to flip it over to the back and read the small print. "Recordings mastered from the legendary U.S. coast to coast T.V. specials" is what that print says, and while The Biggest Hits is certainly a generous collection, containing 30 tracks and running over 76 minutes, it does not include the original hit versions of Tom Jones favorites "Green, Green Grass of Home," "What's New Pussycat?," "She's a Lady," "Delilah," "Without Love," or "Say You'll Stay Till Tomorrow." Applause sometimes signals a live performance, but otherwise the exact sources of the material remain murky. And the title The Biggest Hits seems intended to suggest that Jones is performing songs that were hits for somebody, though not necessarily for him.
