The 1984 two-disc compilation is an ambitious attempt to offer an overview of 's then 20-year career, divided into four separate themes, two per CD. The first disc is devoted to Singles and History and the second to Classics and Live. Sometimes the divisions between these themes seem a little tenuous -- some of the Classics seem like Hits, for instance -- and even at this generous running time there are big hits missing (as are and ; this is just culled from material recorded for ), but overall this is a very good sampler of 's first two decades of work. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
