3.0 out of 5 stars Suffers on CD, September 18, 2002

By	R. Riis "rriis" (NY) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This was an excellent LP, but suffers aurally inexplicably on CD. Go for the 20-track "Very Best of" for single-disc buyers or the much-recommended mondo "Celebrate" set for committed fans. Leave this one in the land of fond memories.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad collection, but now there are much better ones, April 5, 2005

By	D. COLLIER "Doug Collier" (Brownwood, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this as a tape about ten years ago. Somehow, I lost the tape and bought a copy on CD. But now there's an even better Three Dog Night compilation CD. I'm not sure of the name, but if you type the group's name into Amazon's "popular music" engine, it's usually the first one to appear. Also, it sells at a low price and has more than 20 of their greatest hits. My major complaint with this Greatest Hits album is that the sound is not remastered or anything. It sounds like it's playing on a really good LP record. I recommend--both to the casual Three Dog Night listener as well as the hard core fan--to try one of the later compilation CDs. They're sure to have more songs and better sound.

Overall, I suppose this is not a bad compilation, but why bother when you can get so much more?

A Kid's Review

This is one of the earlier Three Dog Night compilation and it's very good, contrary to common belief. I'll admit it's very obselete compared to newer compilations like the 1982 "Best of Three Dog Night" or the more recent "Complete Singles Collection". But this one is very good for its time. It has 13 of the 20 songs from the 1982 "Best of" compilation, plus a 14th that wasn't included on the 1982 compilation, "I'd Be So Happy". This compilation actually saves your money in a way. It has all the good songs from the "Hard Labor", which is pretty much unavailable new and pricey for a used copy. (about $24.99 at the least). Although it did fail to include "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" This is a very good compilation and I reccomend it to anyone.
