	Blood, Sweat & Tears Greatest Hits Used - LP - PC 31170 1980 Reissue Carrollton Pressing. An Outstanding Compilation. Jacket Mouth Shows Some Moderate Wear. "Sometimes, A Greatest-hits Set Is Timed Perfectly To Gather Together A Group's Most Successful And Familiar Performances Just At The Point When That Group Has Passed The Point Of Their Maximum Exposure To The Public, But Before The Public Memory Has Had A Chance To Fade. That Was The Case When Columbia Records Assembled This Compilation For Release In Early 1972. At That Point, Blood, Sweat & Tears Had Released Four Albums And Scored Six Top 40 Hits, Each Of Which Is Heard Here. But Lead Singer David Clayton-thomas Had Just Quit The Group, So That The Unit That Recorded Songs Like "You've Made Me So Very Happy" Was Not Working Together Anymore. And Even When Clayton-thomas Returned, The Band Would Continue To Decline Commercially. As Such, Bs&t's Greatest Hits Captures The Band's Peak In 11 Selections--seven Singles Chart Entries, Plus Two Album Tracks From The Celebrated Debut Album When Al Kooper Helmed The Group, And Two More From The Grammy-winning Multi-platinum Second Album. Using The Short Singles Edits Of Songs Like "And When I Die" Emphasizes Their Radio-ready Punch Over The More Extended Suitelike Arrangements On The Albums, But This Selection Gains In Focus What It Lacks In Ambition. For The Millions Who Learned To Love Bs&t In 1969 When They Were All Over Am Radio, This Is The Ideal Selection Of Their Most Accessible Material." AMG Review By William Ruhlmann. more
	Blood, Sweat & Tears Greatest Hits Used - LP - FRM31170 2012 180gm gatefold reissue from Friday Music. NM copy. Mastered by Kevin Gray at RTI. "Sometimes, a greatest-hits set is timed perfectly to gather together a group's most successful and familiar performances just at the point when that group has passed the point of their maximum exposure to the public, but before the public memory has had a chance to fade. That was the case when Columbia Records assembled this compilation for release in early 1972. At that point, Blood, Sweat & Tears had released four albums and scored six Top 40 hits, each of which is heard here. But lead singer David Clayton-Thomas had just quit the group, so that the unit that recorded songs like "You've Made Me So Very Happy" was not working together anymore. And even when Clayton-Thomas returned, the band would continue to decline commercially. As such, BS&T's Greatest Hits captures the band's peak in 11 selections--seven singles chart entries, plus two album tracks from the celebrated debut album when Al Kooper helmed the group, and two more from the Grammy-winning multi-platinum second album. Using the short singles edits of songs like "And When I Die" emphasizes their radio-ready punch over the more extended suitelike arrangements on the albums, but this selection gains in focus what it lacks in ambition. For the millions who learned to love BS&T in 1969 when they were all over AM radio, this is the ideal selection of their most accessible material." All Music Guide - William Ruhlmann. more

	Blood, Sweat And Tears Audiophile - Used - MFSL 1-251 1996 Limited numbered audiophile "ANADISQ 200" reissue from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab; #0155. Glossy EX/NM- vinyl, run-n registers some surface noise but a wonderful listen otherwise. "The difference between Blood, Sweat & Tears and the group's preceding long-player, Child Is Father to the Man, is the difference between a monumental seller and a record that was "merely" a huge critical success. Arguably, the Blood, Sweat & Tears that made this self-titled second album -- consisting of five of the eight original members and four newcomers, including singer David Clayton-Thomas -- was really a different group from the one that made Child Is Father to the Man, which was done largely under the direction of singer/songwriter/keyboard player/arranger Al Kooper. They had certain similarities to the original: the musical mixture of classical, jazz, and rock elements was still apparent, and the interplay between the horns and the keyboards was still occurring, even if those instruments were being played by different people. Kooper was even still present as an arranger on two tracks, notably the initial hit "You've Made Me So Very Happy." But the second BS&T, under the aegis of producer James William Guercio, was a less adventurous unit, and, as fronted by Clayton-Thomas, a far more commercial one. Not only did the album contain three songs that neared the top of the charts as singles -- "Happy," "Spinning Wheel," and "And When I Die" -- but the whole album, including an arrangement of "God Bless the Child" and the radical rewrite of Traffic's "Smiling Phases," was wonderfully accessible. It was a repertoire to build a career on, and Blood, Sweat & Tears did exactly that, although they never came close to equaling this album." All Music Guide - William Ruhlmann. more

Analog Planet Guru Michael Fremer Sums Up This Version Against All Other Reissues Thus: (John) “Golden’s Cut For Directdisk Is The Warmest And Despite Half-Speed Mastering Has Very Good Bass, Staff’s For Pure Pleasure Is The Chilliest, Though With Particularly Clean High Frequency Transients, Ricker’s Is Dry, A Bit Bleached And Lacking In Bottom-End Energy As Were Many Of Mo-Fi’s Anadisc 200s Of That Second Mo-Fi Era And In My Opinion The ORG Double 45 Is The Best Sounding Of The Lot (And Well-Pressed By RTI) Though If You Have Any Of Them, Unless You Are BS&T Obsessed, You Are Done. I Am Too.” Mastered From The Analog Tapes By Bernie Grundman And Pressed At Rti. more
