THE ANTHOLOGY is a compilation album by Joe Cocker, covering his career between 1964 and 1982. It was released on 17th August 1999. Selectively compiling Joe's finest work during his first two decades as a recording artist beginning with his debut single from '64, "I'll Cry Instead", through his 1982 worldwide hit, "Up Where We Belong", this 2CD THE ANTHOLOGY presents 37 tracks culled from his acclaimed albums. A&M's THE ANTHOLOGY may be too much for casual fans that just want the hits, but anyone else will find this exhaustive chronicle of Joe Cocker's prime years definitive. The first disc concentrates on his first three albums, buttressed by a rare 1964 single of The Beatles' "I'll Cry Instead" and his 1970 non-LP single "The Letter"/"Space Captain". Disc two features highlights of all the albums he recorded between 1972 and 1982, selecting not only hits, but key album tracks. The end result is a collection that is concise and definitive. Anyone looking for a comprehensive collection of Cocker's classic recordings will be satisfied by THE ANTHOLOGY. This compilation is pretty much the only one out there that makes any effort to cover these years, and chooses to forget the frankly embarrassing last thirty years of his career. So what happened during those intervening years? Ridiculously ambitious tours, phenomenally bad management decisions, a plethora of label changes, money disappearing into black holes, a clutch of solid albums, some of the best blues / soul music ever recorded by a stocky and hairy former gas-fitter from Sheffield. And drugs. Lots of drugs. After years of paying his dues, Cocker finally got the hit he deserved with his immense cover of “With A Little Help From My Friends”, some solid follow-up hits and then made a memorable appearance at Woodstock. Then things started to go wrong. Cocker discovered that he had somehow been committed to a marathon tour of the USA. Sadly the experience left him broke, burnt out, and in a chemical haze. Over the following few years Cocker spent much of the time in a drug induced stupor, releasing a clutch of solid albums which more often than not bombed commercially, and that he subsequently had little memory of recording. There were always great songs in abundance though. Best of all though was his heartbreaking cover of “You Are So Beautiful”, a recording that may very well be Joe Cocker’s single greatest contribution to popular music. Happily this compilation also covers the period in which Joe Cocker went through a period of personal redemption and he made an effort to make up for all his lost potential, managing to clean himself up, release the modern-sounding Sheffield Steel album, and recorded a huge hit single with Jennifer Warnes, which finally put Joe Cocker back on the path to financial and commercial stability. While he had moments of greatness, his best albums can only be found in the 60s and 70s, and few compilations cover the most enduring period of his career. More than anything else, this well selected compilation puts forward the case for Joe Cocker as Britain’s greatest white-soul voice.
