"Come on Universal!! Where in the hell do you find there people that put together these compilations??
- you put End Of The Road on here but not Crazy Arms which was the "A" side of this single and his first offical release.
- you put a live version of Your Cheating Heart on here, I would hardly classify that as "Gold"
- you put a 1960's album cut of Drinkin Wine Spo-De-O-Dee on here instead of the 1973 version from "The Session" LP which was the version that actually charted and is far superior to the one included here.
- you include a 1969 album filler cut of Working Man Blues, but omit the following actual charterd hits:
- Meat Man
- Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano
- The Closest Thing To You
- I'll Find It Where I Can
- One Minute Past Eternity
- Invatation To Your Party
- When Two Worlds Collide
Maybe you should have someone who actually knows what they're doing compile these collections... just a thought.

Jerry Lee is the greatest ever!!!!! Universal records STINK!

"As the first reviewer points out, this new 2CD set from Universal, "Gold", does indeed feature the wrong recording of "Drinkin' Wine Spo-dee-o-dee", i.e. the one first heard on the 'Memphis Beat' LP in 1966 (though actualy recorded in 1963), rather than the London recording from 1973. Apart from ruining the continuity of the CD, this is particularly unfortunate given that the liner notes go into some detail about the making of "The Session".
But it's worse than you can imagine, this isn't just about fans being 'picky'. This situation really is totally unforgivable. Two years ago, Universal made exactly the same mistake in the set "The Definitive
Collection".
Somebody called 'Andy McKaie' is listed as producer of both these
sets. He is assisted on both projects by a 'Beth Stempel'. These people should be fired, forthwith!
In all the sorry history of record company screw-ups, Universal has
now set a new benchmark for utter incompetence. The crass,
inattentive repetition of such a basic, glaring error is what is so
galling. They are 'producers' who quite obviously just don't care about their product.
Boycott this set. Go to ebay and buy some vinyl LPs!

"I can't argue with the two reviews above. The notes are valid. However as a casual fan, most of the high points are here. A completest would have all the CDs or LPs anyways, so this would not be the place for a Lewis fanatic to finish his/her collection. It does not offer a sachel of hidden gems, forgotten tracks, alternate out-takes and newly discovered libve recordings. Strictly speaking, listening to these songs in generous 2-CD format, one can't help but apprecaite his body of work though.
JLL is at his best when he is pounding the piano, but he can also turn a pretty ballad as he does on "MIDDLE AGED CRAZY". Originals, covers of country classics, no matter.
Lewis is equally comfortable frolicking with country swing or rockin' his life away, and this set offers multiple samples of his many musical foreys.
Fats Domino, Little Richard, The Killer. Pumping that ol' piano and tickling the ivories is his business and no one's done it better (or as consistanly) since the birth of rock and roll.
I recently listend to THE LONDON SESSIONS and marveled at how strong that 5 star set was as well. I also sampled his recent Duets cd (LAST MAN STANDING) which was interesting and occationally up to the challenge. Jerry Lew Lewis contines to be a force 50 years later. He is an originator, an aggitator, and a revolator. So yes to a Lewis elitest, one might quibble with the odd ommison (no Crazy Arms!) or inclusion (Lewis Boogie anyone?)of certain song selections but to someone looking for more than simply the top 10 hits this double-disc offers more than enough KILLER to satisfy the pallet. He may be a crazy S.O.B.? but what an talent..."
What is with these reviews?!

"Alright. Please explain this one to me. This GREAT collection of tunes by the LEGENDARY Jerry Lee Lewis gets less than exceptional reviews. Here is the part I don't understand. This album is almost IDENTICAL to the "All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology" album which Rolling Stone magazine ranks #242 on their list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time"!!
So, for that reason, I just don't understand what these people are thinking who have written reviews. Trust me as someone who loves "The Killer" like no other, you cannot go wrong with this ESSENTIAL collection from one of the PIONEERS and LEGENDS of Rock and Roll."
Exellent Collection (Don't Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise)

"I really cannot fathom the moaning in some of the other reviews. The only (minor) reservation I have is that while this includes the most essential songs Lewis recorded on his first label (Sun), one may want more from that fine era. I myself had other collections that cover that period well. For me, this collection covered the best of the rest of the man's career, which it does with complete consistency in quality, having all the key songs and much else that is great fun, and there are no duds. In the interest of full disclosure, at the time of writing I am about to put a used copy up for sale, since I have this collection on my MP3, but that does not make my assessment of the collection any less than completely sincere and accurate. I wrote this because I feel the dismissive reviews I read here got it completely wrong. This is a great collection, especially if you are trying to get the best of Lewis' later career, which, if in a more consistently country vein, is essential stuff (make no mistake, Lewis was already singing straight and great country ballads throughout his recording tenure at Sun, which one discovers if one delves deeper into that period than a brief summary)."
