One of Britain s hardest working bands, Dunfermline s Nazareth are road warriors par excellence. For almost 40 years they have performed in front of fervent audiences across the globe and, showing no signs of slowing down, they are currently in the midst of yet another mammoth European tour. Their music is bluesy, frequently heavy, but characterised by strong, hummable hooks, with honourable mention for Dan McCafferty s near-superhuman vocals, which are still one of the wonders of the rock world. Over more than 20 studio albums, the group have proved time and time again that they have a real talent for composing catchy, hard-hitting originals as well as a remarkable facility with other people s songs. The many hit singles - both rockers and ballads, such as Broken Down Angel, This Flight Tonight, Love Hurts, Bad, Bad Boy, My White Bicycle, Hair of the Dog and Dream On found on this album are ample evidence of both facts. Originally released in 1975, the original 12-track Greatest Hits was a success in numerous territories. This updated version includes a further eight Naz classics, from the sought-after single version of Morning Dew (1971) to the huge 1982 power ballad Dream On - all loud, proud and remastered of course.

Great Stuff!!!!!!!!!
This is a much improved sound over a previously purchased Nazareth Hits CD. That was, sadly, typical CD quality - Tinny, with little bass to speak of and not much to be had in the mid-range!This was much more like it, not perfect, but very much more reminiscent of my vinyl albums, back in the 70's - A room-filling sound that befits a band like Nazareth! - Can't beat Broken Down Angel and This Flight Tonight at full tilt!!

Full of Classics
Some real classics here. Had forgotten how many really good tracks this group made. I had originally liked their early sets but found them to get too poppy but then really liking Broken Down Angel but in retrospect enjoy lots of this. Some is a bit fill in rather than classic but overall very listenable.

Geat CD
I have this recording on Vinyl in a cupboard with a few scratches, so it is great to hear the "boys" again on CD. This a great collection of the hits that all Nazareth fans will know and love. I am no Audio expert but this CD sounds great to me, at home or in the car, so "Expect no Mercy" from Dan and the Boys!!
