The 1981
Columbia
compilation album
The Best of Dave Mason
was a ten-track disc that included the four
Mason
singles that had hit the upper half of the charts in 1977 and 1978 --
"So High (Rock Me Baby and Roll Me Away),"
"We Just Disagree,"
"Let It Go, Let It Flow,"
and
"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"
-- plus some of
's better-known album cuts from his
albums and live versions of his older hits
"Only You Know and I Know"
"Feelin' Alright?"
Of course, the more familiar recordings of those songs, and a few other tracks that arguably should have been part of a comprehensive
best-of were owned by other companies. [This album is not to be confused with an identically titled album released by
Blue Thumb
(6013) in 1974, or with the more extensive compilation of
's
recordings,
Long Lost Friend: The Best of Dave Mason
, released by
Legacy
/
(57165) in 1995.] ~ William Ruhlmann
