(2005)Classic Masters is a compilation album from blues and alt rock group Blind Melon. Classic Masters was released on January 29, 2002.
This compilation is notable for inexplicably featuring edited versions of some of Blind Melon's most popular songs. None of Blind Melon's singles or album-only songs were radio edits. At the time of its release, Classic Masters drew some ire from the music press, most of whom quickly picked up on the differences between the Classic Masters versions and their complete album counterparts.[citation needed] For example, "Galaxie" lacks the "Hello Goodbye" intro as featured on the Soup album, while "Mouthful of Cavities" has the spoken "Listen, man. I got the window open [Do] you hear the cats, man? Listen." intro by frontman Shannon Hoon excised.
