Notes:


This collection was the second official TJB CD to be released domestically. (The first was the TJB's Christmas album.) While it omits a few important songs, it was still a welcome release. And this being a CD, sound quality was the first thing I'd listened for. Contrary to the statement in the liner notes, I do not believe they went back to the original master tapes to master this CD. (If you happen to find the Supertramp Classics CD, note that "Goodbye Stranger" is not the album version, but instead a very sloppily edited single version.) One little detail on some early copies of this CD: the tracks "Spanish Flea" and "Tijuana Taxi" are under the same track number, and the sequencing corrected in the middle of "Zorba The Greek" (at the first "break" in the song). This CD was the first of an excellent series of artist retrospectives of A&M's artist roster (celebrating the label's 25th anniversary in 1987), and the others in the series are worth finding as well.
