- This Version of the Album is a Hefty Bunch of Steaming

We can have scores of Rap Albums with explicit lyrics (big deal)…but YOU have to sanitize JT’s Greatest Hits and replace the live version of Steamroller Blues with the studio version. Really??? At age 67, I think I’m old enough to make my own choices and don’t need you to protect my aging ears.

I finally upgraded my scratchy vinyl version of this album and it sounds gorgeous. JT sounds so crisp and clear, but I do wish there was a warning label indicating the PG version of Steamroller is the version on this album. I can handle the F bomb and I can't seem to be able to puchase the original Greatest Hits version of this song without buying another Greatest Hits album containing most of the songs I just bought. Weak tea Apple.

Super irritated that the live version was replaced with this one. My ears can handle the original, okay? 🤬

I listened to this album based of the golden oldie appeal of 3 tunes, but now I'd say that JT's greatest hits are not very great. His vocal quality is pleasant enough but other similar artists such as Art Garfunkel, Jim Croce, Carole King and Don McLean have better, more distinctly evocative (non-Best-of) albums. As I don't collect singles, I deleted this album.
- Live "Steamroller" Replaced By Studio Original

The vinyl LP fans have noticed it already, and the above review claims that "Steamroller" here is LIVE but this CD replaces it with the original 1970 studio version from the "Sweet Baby James" album. Too bad because this was the only album with that explicit rockin' bluesy live version. Docked One Star!
- One of the Greatest Greatest Hits Albums

I really like Fire and Rain because it reminds of myself a lot. So amazing that I can't even describe how lovely this song is.
I swear.
It
Is
Beautiful
(So is the rest of the album!)
- The only secular album my mother owned

I grew up listening to this *tape* in my mom's two-tone brown Ford Aerostar van. To my knowledge it was the only secular album she owned, and she'd always fast forward at the end when Steamroller came on to start the tape over again at the beginning (apparently Jesus didn't approve of that track). I bought her the CD for Xmas over a decade ago, the tape having long been lost. Now I finally own my own digital version and I cannot wait to sing along.
