For the Jonathan Richman fan, this is one disc worth getting. However, the second disc is not necessarily at all what such a person may be interested in. I bought the Spitballs and Beserkley compilation albums in the 70's and never found them worth listening to again except for the Jonathan trax.

If you can get one of the other 3 Jonathan 70's hits CD's instead of this one, feel free. Yes, this is an excellent collection of his hits from the 70's. But cost wise, I'd only get this if you find it to be cheaper than the other hits CD's packages he has available.

The other bands on disc 2 are really not worth owing if you ask me. Some ernest rock from the S.F. region in the 70's but I can't remember much of it standing out. If you can use the 'listen' option to try some of those songs I highly recommend you do before you buy this 2xCD set. chrisbct@hotmail.som

Has anyone noticed that the theme to Shrek is almost identical to the riff from 'Egyptian Reggae' by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers?

Mr. Richman, if you are reading this, my fee for bringing this information to you is just 7.5% of whatever you get out of DreamWorks!
