STINGY Best Of Collection!

"On the one hand it's great having a first ever Best of collection for Bebo. On the other, this is about as stingy as you can get for a Greatest Hits. And instead of the label offering it as a trimmed down low price release, they're actually asking $13.98.

No wonder CD sales are dropping!

Even the wimpy "20th Century Masters" series offers 12 cuts on their releases. And the price is usually less than 9 or 10 bucks.

This one only brings 10 to the table, and although his two signature songs ( Great Light of the World & I Will Lift My Eyes ) are here, several key Bebo hits are missing like:

"Disappear"

"I Am"

"Yes I Will"

"Borrow Mine"

...and early career concert fav's like "Walk Down This Mountain" & "The Man Inside"



No excuse to not include those songs.

As is the so called Best of Bebo Norman is worth about $4.99 as a budget release. Even then it fails in it's mission to represent all of the best works of a very talented singer/songwriter.

"

Thumbs up!

"This includes some of the very best of Bebo and is a great introduction for those who are unfamiliar with his moving music. "Great Light of the World" is still his signature song and the album includes the recent "I Will Lift Up My Eyes" (thrilling), "Stand" (great), "Sometimes By Step" (posthumous duet with Rich Mullins only on single up to now) and "the Hammer Holds" (listen very carefully to these chilling words!).



Missing is "Borrow Mine" one his most uplifting efforts.



But overall, a don't miss this CD from one of Christian music's great, inspirational musicians."
