Have to mention this since it is one of the groups best selling albums ever in UK. Sold through EMI:s TV advertising division, it stayed ten weeks at #1 and remained on the list for eightysix weeks in total. It's not my favorite compilation, but to say something positive - it has twenty very good tracks, some originally non-LP including the beautiful "Break Away", and three of the tracks have their prime mono mixes. Still I'm not delighted. Seventeen tracks are fake stereo even though much better sounding mono versions were ready to pick. Also the audio could be a lot better - apparently lots of limiting and compression was used, making the whole thing sound damp and lo-fi. If you're not an audio-freak and just in it for music it's OK, but it provides no pleasure for close listening. Issued in UK only, first with "one EMI box" label as shown here and fully laminated cover. (BÅB*)
