I could never resist a good sampler. Even if I got all or most of the tracks before, having them in a new environment, sometimes with different audio and/or in a nice sleeve just makes me wanna buy. Then if the cuts are from many different LP:s or there are 45 versions you don't have it is very pleasing to get them all in a row. Totally new to me here is the 2.51 single version of Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". Good if you wan't the essence without having to sit through the whole sventeen minutes https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/05/iron-butterflyin-gadda-da-vida-587116.html . Then there's two each by Cream, Bee Gees, Rascals, Buffalo Springfield, and Vanilla Fudge. All among all the band's best efforts - just look at the track list! All cuts are true stereo and the audio on this is lovely (Presswell pressing). I also like the sleeve design very much, with its arty front and band pics on rear. I've noticed many collectors today shy away from vinyl compilations as they rather get them on CD of just download the songs. That is very good for all us who still prefer LP:s, cause if they are harder to sell they'll be a lot cheaper to buy and we can get stuff like this for a bargain. Only issued in US (also as 8-track, cassette and reel), Canada and Germany. The latter on the older grey/yellow label with different sleeve design. Premiere US had ridged label as shown here in a laminated cover. (SÄM*) (YZÄ*)
