Playlist: The Very Best Of Steve Perry

Steve is the one vocal that remains a constant. The smooth when he needs it, a vocal ragged on the edges when called for. Encompassing a complete range that can calm an angry gorilla. All tracks range from a+ to a b+. Lighter than Journey's but melodicFresh. Keep the fire burning Steve

This cd was fine when I received it. Really enjoy listening to Steve Perry.

All the women I know have a crush on Steve Perry of Journey. This compilation feeds their passions.

I LOVE this CD.

Looking for something with Steve Perry's solo work? This album is it. It features 14 handpicked tunes by Steve Perry himself, the voice of Journey from 77-87 and 95-98. If you like Journey with Steve Perry, it wouldn't hurt to give this album a try. It is has more of a pop sound to it, but it has the same song structures as Journey's and that is one of the things that keeps me coming back to this album as well as Perry's voice, he is one of my favorites vocalists of all time, if not the best! The album consists of five songs from "Street Talk," four songs from "For the Love of Strange Medicine" then the remaining five first appeared on an album when they were released on "Greatest Hits + Five Unreleased" in 1998 which were some b-sides to singles and some were some songs from the never released "Against the Wall" studio album. I think that this one was compiled better compared to the 1998 GH+5 release because the songs on here flow better together and the transitions are arranged very well. To me GH+5 appears to be an album put together to capture the mainstream pleasers and to release songs that hadn't been released at the time. This is another great Playlist release from Sony Legacy, doing what they do best, finding not just the hits but the fan favorites, the under-rated songs and even the out-of-print songs, thanks Steve and the guys and gals at Sony.

I would have given the extra star but the last recording was a live performance from 1995 and the song was fine except for the applause. I don't care to hear the audience's applause because it is a distraction. I wonder if they (sound engineers) could have removed it for the compact disc.Anyway, if you love Steve Perry who was the lead singer for Journey until he left to pursue his own. Perry's voice is recognizable after a few words. He is one of the great male vocalists in music today. Foolish Heart displays his great talent in his delivery. His voice is an instrument and I wished he recorded more.Steve Perry's career as a solo artist has been uneven but he has kept a low profile. Still if you loved him in Journey, you will love him here in this disc.

I have forgotten alot of things over the years, but I still remember where I was, and what I was doing, the first time I heard Steve Perry's voice grace the radio in 1978. Over the years, I had packed up my old Journey and Steve Perry 8-tracks, then the cassettes, then the cd's, and had not listened to them in years. I pulled out those old cd's a few months ago, and OMG, they are even better today than they were back then. I can not stop listening to them. This man's voice is the most beautiful and intoxicating thing I have ever heard. Surely the angels pause to listen when he sings. I have re-bought all the old Journey & Perry cd's, and added this new compilation to the collection. If you are brand new to Steve Perry this is an excellent assortment of tracks from Street Talk, Greatest Hits, and FTLOSM, and you simply must buy it. If you own every album Perry ever made, or only just a few, you definately will want this one. Perry is rightfully named among the greatest singers of all times. I highly recommend this item.

Steve Perry is a phenomenal singer, and I am happy to find this. Some of his best solo songs, and a well put together CD. Arrived in good condition.

Like eco packaging or not its the cd content that matters ( apart from saving the world that is ).Legacy via the Playlist releases has produced a masterclass in aor magic.Steve Perry is the Voice and will always be.Journey with Pineda ( Revelation ) is excellent and Augeri with Tall Stories ( check out the excellent Skyscraper )is classic but Steve Perry is the master.The cd and content are excellent , yes i have all the material in many forms but the new cd wets the appetite for more.The sound is unbelievable excellently digitally remastered and the added notes and onboard photos are great.Buy the disc and hopefully its success will help encourage Steve to reappear with new material.Listening in hope.

discovered steve perry and journey when my son used one of their songs to get married to. am now hooked and am buying every thing they have ever recorded. this cd had a lot of songs i allready have so i now have one for the house and one for the car, sing like mad when on the road GREATxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
