    cant stand the weird echo/reverb they put on the songs to achieve stereo - I would avoid this compilation

      Decent collection of songs but this has some of the worst sounding mono to stereo effects I’ve heard - makes it sound like they’ve been rerecorded in a tiled bathroom or similar, or like listening to a music festival from a distance. Shame!

          An excellent compilation album that sadly was never released in America but was released in Canada. Very odd.
