Really Good CollectionI really enjoy this double CD. The sound quality is good and it features many songs I had never heard before. The Cat Stevens and Paul Weller tracks are especially nice. Also check out "The Best Acoustic Album in the World...Ever".

BUYER BEWARE!! Two different compilations under the same name! - And a rather lazy compilationThere are two albums listed under the name "Pure Acoustic". Both include 2 CDs. Amazon lists the same tracklist for both, but this is a mistake on Amazon's part. Here's the deal:Pure Acoustic - The one with the blue cover of a guitar, starts the tracklisting with Cat Stevens, Bob Marley and older artists (say, 80's and before). This is the tracklisting featured on Amazon for both albums, but only applies on this one (check the cover!), and is priced $51.49.Pure Acoustic - The one with the cr…
There are two albums listed under the name "Pure Acoustic". Both include 2 CDs. Amazon lists the same tracklist for both, but this is a mistake on Amazon's part. Here's the deal:Pure Acoustic - The one with the blue cover of a guitar, starts the tracklisting with Cat Stevens, Bob Marley and older artists (say, 80's and before). This is the tracklisting featured on Amazon for both albums, but only applies on this one (check the cover!), and is priced $51.49.Pure Acoustic - The one with the creamy cover and two red silhouettes includes modern artists such as Radiohead and Coldplay (say, 90's to current day). Since this review gets published on both products, I'll go ahead and put the tracklist of this album for you:Disc One:1. Jack Johnson - Breakdown2. James Blunt - High3. Coldplay - Fix you4. Keane - Somewhere only we know5. Snow Patrol - Run6. Blur - For Tomorrow7. R.E.M. - The One I Love8. Athlete - Wires9. Ben Harper - Diamonds on the Inside10. Matt Costa - Cold December11. G. Love - Booty Call12. ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra) - Girl I wanna lay you down13. Ryan Adams - Wonderwall13. Rufus Wainwright - California14. Doves - Willow's Song15. Suzanne Vega - Marlene on the Wall16. Paul Weller - You do something to me17. Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees18. Oasis - Stop Crying your hearth outDisc Two:1.John Lennon - Love2. KT Tunstall - Heal Over3. Katie Melua - Nine Million Bicycles4. Norah Jones - Come away with me5. Joss Stone - Fell in love with a boy6. Donovon Frankenreiter - It don't matter7. Corinne Bailey Rae - Enchantment8. Richard Ashcroft - Break the night with colour9. Stephen Fretwell - Emily10. Nerina Pallot - Dear frustrated superstar11. Feist - Mushaboom12. Air - All I need13. Röyksopp - What else is there?14. Dirty Vegas - Days go by15. Turin Breakes - Painkiller16. Soundgarden - Black hole sun17. Nickelback - How you remind me18. Bernard Fanning - Wish you well19. José González - HeartbeatsAs for the review:Overall, a tipical record label "quick-buck" album: songs are taken straight from the original albums (some songs even have the mixed intro of the last song -they're not even the 'Single' versions). If you already have the original albums of the artists, there's nothing new for you here, make a playlist instead and you'll have *exactly* the same product.And, as you might have guessed by now, this is definitely NOT "Pure acoustic" songs. Taken straight from the albums, they're as acoustic as their original editions, meaning you'll hear the electro guitar on "Fix You" and "Black Hole Sun", and even some synths on "Somewhere only we know" and "Wires".Recommended only if you don't have any of this artists' original works. If you already have them, and expect to find a special, rare, acoustic version of that-one-song-you-always-liked (in my case, "Black Hole Sun"), move on, there's nothing here. It's a shame, really.
