Great-sounding best-of/greatest hits vinyl titles?

The Best of Bread

 

Amy Grant - The Collection

 

The non-DBX version does exist. I bought mine recently from the Classifieds.

Contains studio versions of "Sweet Caroline" and "Holly Holy".

 

Anyone know if it's better to go with a red label Elektra of this or a Butterfly label? Also, generally speaking, any preference for one over the other when it comes to Elektra vinyl?

 

The Very Best of Roy Orbison- Monument Label

Steve Hoffman said: "Used the actual master mixes (unfortunately cut right out from other album masters) but nonetheless, a good sounding record if you get an early cut".

I've mentioned this before when these type of threads show up, but
again, this is as good as it gets. The Very Best is a later compilation, but the
two Greatest Hits releases on Monument are still amazing to me, and "More Of"
(below) from 1964 is still the all-time best vinyl release I've ever heard.

 

High praise.

I have the "Orbison" set by Bear Family on CD & recently got a hold of the Hoffman-mastered S&P double LP release "The All-Time Greatest Hits Of Roy Orbison." Soundwise, I prefer the vinyl. I'm enough of an Orbison/Bill Porter nut to actually try out the above as well so thanks.

 

There's a 2 disc Dave Brubeck that sounds great

 

I would add HTM-cut UK releases of the 1962-66/1967-70/Rock 'N Roll Music by the Beatles. These sound great to my ears. I'd also add the Parlophone/EMI pressings of Greatest Hits by the Hollies.

I totally agree with America's Greatest Hits (original version was also cut by HTM), Cat Stevens and Steely Dan titles mentioned above. I also think Original Musiquarium by Stevie Wonder sounds great and any old US copy will do for this one.

 

''Johnny Rivers Golden Hits'' on Imperial sounds amazing.

 

i love my japanese pressing of Classic Ash in vinyl.

 

Elton John - Greatest Hits on Nautilus Superdisc

 

"Best of Traffic"

U.S. pressing sounds great -- if there's a UK, it's likely to sound even better!

Played this one with the red Mercury label and thought it sounded tremendous; much better than the later 2LP Best of Rod Stewart.

 

I've got both. The track list differs slightly between the two:

UK:

A1 Paper Sun
A2 Heaven Is In Your Mind
A3 No Face, No Name, No Number
A4 Coloured Rain
A5 Smiling Phases
A6 Hole In My Shoe
B1 Medicated Goo
B2 Forty Thousand Headmen
B3 Feelin' Alright
B4 Shanghai Noodle Factory
B5 Dear Mr. Fantasy

US:

A1 Paper Sun
A2 Heaven Is In Your Mind
A3 No Face, No Name And No Number
A4 Coloured Rain
A5 You Can All Join In
A6 Hole In My Shoe
B1 Medicated Goo
B2 Forty Thousand Headman
B3 Feelin' Alright
B4 Shanghai Noodle Factory
B5 Dear Mr. Fantasy

I always though this Kinks 20 Golden Greats comp. sounded pretty great:

Along with The Kink Kronikles:

The Best Of The Guess Who is great sounding, too:

Best of Blondie, the US version, on Chrysalis.

 

Dan Fogelberg Greatest Hits on half-speed mastered vinyl sounds terrific. Can usually be found on eBay for reasonable prices.

 

The non-remastered cd of it sounds pleasant too. It'd be nice if you could take a crack at that title for AF.

 

KISS "Double Platinum"

 

Does anyone know how Journey Greatest Hits on vinyl sounds?
