5.0 out of 5 stars On The Mark, April 5, 2006

By	Robert Lanxner (Millsboro, Pa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Much better track selection and sound than Flashback and more concise than the box set. Finally a Best Of that is not missing key tracks. Good liner notes too. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A "Best of" done right, September 19, 2006

By	eschorn - See all my reviews

Many times these types of post career compilations are simply attempts to milk a little more cash after numerous "best ofs" and "greatest hits". However, in the case of J. Geils this is the one true essential disc. It has the big hits, but it also has the classic live tracks that have become rock radio staples. The only thing keeping this from five stars is the lumbering "Teresa" and the needless "Piss on the Wall". Substitute a cut from "Monkey Island" like "Surrender" or "Somebody" and this would be the perfect career summary.

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty good cd, October 13, 2007

By	P. Geoghegan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good selection of their music. Would have rather had less live music however on their more popular songs.

Why is Give It To Me the short version?

People there is a long version out there but once again Rhino decides not to use it.

It's like reading 1/2 a book.
