Bryan Adams – So Far So Good (1993)
So Far So Good is the first greatest hits compilation by Bryan Adams, released in November 1993 on A&M Records and co-produced throughout his career by Adams and his long-term collaborator Jim Vallance. The collection spans Adams' career from his 1983 breakthrough through to 1993 and sold over 12 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling greatest hits albums of the decade. The album's centrepiece is (Everything I Do) I Do It for You — the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves theme that spent 16 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the UK, a record that still stands as the longest-running UK No. 1 single in chart history. The compilation also includes the new single Please Forgive Me, which reached No. 2 in the UK and demonstrated that Adams' commercial appeal remained completely intact. A definitive collection from one of the most successful rock singer-songwriters of the 1980s and 1990s.
Highlights
- (Everything I Do) I Do It for You — The record-breaking centrepiece; Michael Kamen's orchestral arrangement, Adams' most emotionally committed vocal performance and Bryan Adams and Robert John Lange's songwriting combine to create one of the great power ballads — and its 16-week run at UK No. 1 remains unmatched in chart history.
- Summer of '69 — The compilation's most enduring rock track and one of the great guitar-driven anthems of the 1980s; the riff is irresistible, the lyric captures youthful nostalgia with complete authenticity and the performance has a loose, spontaneous energy that has kept it on radio playlists for four decades.
- Run to You — A driving, melodically strong rock track that showcases Adams' harder edge; the guitar work is crisp and confident and the vocal is raw and urgent, making it one of the compilation's most immediately energetic and satisfying moments.
- Heaven — One of Adams' finest ballads and a showcase for his ability to deliver a slow song with real emotional conviction; the production is warm and generous and the melody is one of the most immediately appealing in his catalogue.
- Please Forgive Me — The new single added for the compilation and a strong closer; a slow-building rock ballad that demonstrates Adams' continued commercial instincts and gives the collection a satisfying contemporary endpoint, reaching No. 2 in the UK on the strength of the album's release.
