4.0 out of 5 stars After Molson, The Best Thing Canada's Ever Produced...., November 30, 2003

Decent compilation, even though it really tails off after track 8. My advice would be to save your cash on this one and pluck down the extra money on the 2 disc "BTO Anthology" set.

Made in USA in 2000, Serial# 314-548-096-2, Playing Time 53:51

This CD lifts songs from the band up to their 10th album, "Rock N' Roll Nights", released back in 1979.

Some great songs, a lot of hits. Just a bit disappointed that the people at Universal couldn't come up with another 20 minutes of material.

BTO isn't about musicianship: it's about non-pretentious, simple but footstompin' energy, with ordinary sounds but fun to listen to. Who hasn't heard "Takin' Care Of Business" ?

Put the CD in, press the play button, and prepare yourself for about an hour of pleasure. If you like rock from the 70's, this one's a treat!

These guys have such a solid, pulsating unique sound. "Gimme Your Money Please" and "Let It Ride" are such solid oldies as well as the great "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and "Takin' Care of Business." Guess Who members formed BTO and this album sure does chronicle an important sound of the '60's-70's. Pulsating guitar sweeps with strong drum sync with that raspy lead vocals makes this band one that rocks strong with those who grew up with it and those who discover this legendary sound.
