1 stars PLEASE DO NOT START WITH A COMPILATION IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THEM: JUST GET THE ALBUMS!!!

It is Mr. Fantasy (UK version) almost entire! There is a poor offer from their best 60' album: the self-tittled one. If there were three more songs from Traffic (1968) at least, and Withering Tree from Last Exit, I could give a pair of stars.

Traffic isn't a prolific band as Jethro Tull, for example; for that reason, each Traffic early album deserves to be listened from the beggining to the end, because they aren't a lot. So, in this case, any compilation is useless. If you insist to start with a compilation, get Feelin' Alright or another more recently.

The music is undoubtely terrific, but a compilation is not evaluated for the music, so I evaluate this one as a poor compilation of the early days of Traffic, because there are good early tracks that don't appear here, as "Crying to be Heard", "No Time To Live", "Withering Tree", among others.
