Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see
it, and when the millennium came around...well, the 20th Century Masters -- The
Millennium Collection wasnt too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a
momentous occasion, but its hard to feel that way when its used as another
excuse to turn out a budget-line series. But apart from the presumptuous title,
20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection turns out to be a very good
budget-line series. True, its impossible for any of these brief collections to
be definitive, but theyre nevertheless solid samplers that dont feature a bad
song in the bunch. For example, take Buddy Hollys 20th Century volume -- its an
irresistible 12-song summary of his Decca/MCA recordings. There may be a couple
of noteworthy songs missing, but many of his best-known songs for the label are
here, including Thatll Be the Day, Words of Love, Peggy Sue, Everyday, Not Fade
Away, Maybe Baby, Oh Boy!, Its So Easy, Rave On, True Love Ways, Think It Over,
and It Doesnt Matter Any More. Serious fans will want something more extensive,
but this is an excellent introduction for neophytes and a great sampler for
casual fans, considering its length and price. That doesnt erase the
ridiculousness of the series title, but the silliness is excusable when the
music and the collections are good.
