Okay, so there are better compilations, but at 53 minutes, covering repertory from the title track through "Days," and all in glittering sound, it's hard to ignore this gem. The emphasis is somewhat weighted toward the group's earlier Pye recordings, but there's just enough of the later stuff to make it an almost fair cross-section of the group's sound and its development. The real treat is the sound -- because there's not a passage, whether it is electric or acoustic, that doesn't leap out and fill the room, and that's at normal volume; cranked up, this record is a great party album or a lease-buster. Otherwise, selection is weird enough to be enjoyable, looping all over the map from 1964 through 1970, and zigzagging through the likes of "Shangri-La," "Long Tall Sally," "God's Children," "Too Much Monkey Business," "Days," and "Cadillac."

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The records comes in their original, POLY-LINED “Made in England” stock inner sleeve.

(c)           The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(a)          True Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

(b)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
