This imported double-CD set is a bit difficult to evaluate because it is so strange (and, at times, cheesy) in its design. The 72-minute first disc is devoted to
' tenure with the group, containing 17 songs covering the best-known tracks from their second album,
, right up through their 1976 rendition of
and beyond, up as far as
and
several membership changes later. As with the domestic greatest-hits compilation, the songs are all the album edits; the producers were obviously working within the confines of a restricted budget, because apart from
-- which, one assumes, is a no-brainer in terms of an investment -- the later tracks are all drawn from old 16-bit masters, a fact declared in the packaging, which otherwise has no information or annotation whatsoever. The 26-minute second ("bonus") disc offers four tracks by the original,
-led band, and
featuring
. The whole thing is a bit of a mess, though in the European market (where
is not available), it probably makes sense -- for the rest of the world, it's nothing but an attractively packaged, not too well-devised compilation. ~ Bruce Eder
