Steve Miller Band- Box Set (1994)

Close to definitive is the best way to describe the three-disc box Steve Miller Band. That, or missed opportunity. The set is divided pretty well, with the first disc being devoted to the early years, the second to the hitmaking era, and the third to the blues. Now, this isn't a hard-and-fast breakdown, since there's no one on God's green earth who would call "Abracadabra" a blues, but it's a pretty good template for a box. The problem is the execution, particularly as the box gets off the ground. The historical childhood recordings that kick off the first disc are interesting, but they're alienating for anyone outside of hardcore fans. Then, much of the early work is present in oddly edited versions, which aren't particularly welcome. Still, this does round up nearly all of the highlights from throughout Miller's career, which does make it valuable for fans who want a pretty exhaustive, but not definitive, compilation. Nevertheless, Anthology and Greatest Hits, especially, remain the best way to hear Miller at his peak.

64 tracks which compile some early rarities and his late '60s San Franciscan work, every major '70s hit from the band- Fly Like an Eagle; The Joker; Rock'n Me , etc.-and a whole disc of blues. In short, it's all sides of this multifaceted rocker, even early childhood recordings, plus key album tracks like Space Cowboy; Living in the U.S.A.; Going to Mexico , and more. Definitive!
