March 03, 2004: I remember seeing Joe Cocker in 69” at the first Woodstock festival, to think it was 35 years ago, my wife bought me “Ultimate Collection” recently and I felt like a kid again. Cocker is one of those artists with a voice you don’t ever forget, the voice stays with you throughout the years and you never forget his songs. I own a great deal of Cocker albums, and this by far the most enjoyable compilation album of his. Hailing from Sheffield, Joe has made a career by covering a vast majority of his songs. One of my favorites on the “Ultimate Collection” is a cover of the Lovin’ Spoonfull’s ‘summer in the City’; this song brings back great memories of playing baseball in the summer heat of the 60’s. Another favorite of mine is the classic song ‘You can leave your hat on’, a song both my wife and I have enjoyed dancing to over the years I fully recommend this album for any Joe Cocker fan, as young fans go, definitely check this album out, get a good sense of older rock and what its all about.

March 01, 2004: I like Joe Cocker's music, but the music is poorly served here. This CD's sound is brittle and harsh and, on some tracks, it actually hurts your ears. The record company continues to multiply its profits by reissuing the same music, over and over--while taking no care for how the music sounds. I don't know what generation of source tape they used for this CD, but it's of poor quality indeed. Oh, the sound is "clear" enough, but it's brittle and harsh, and the instruments (e.g., percussion and piano) merely RESEMBLE their natural sound--all of which renders the music far less enjoyable. I'd like to finally have a quality Joe Cocker recording. Had I known how bad the sound of this CD is, I would have saved my money. And if the rest of you refuse to buy it, maybe the record company will finally see an incentive to make the effort to issue a good-quality recording--finally.
