CD Review:
This release is a compilation of the groups best songs of their four albums released in the '60s (If You Believe Your Eyes and Ears (1966), The Mamas & the Papas (1966), Deliver (1967) and The Papas & The Mamas (1968)). It doesn't fit my criteria of having a band release five albums before a Greatest Hits release is issued but since the original albums are difficult to find and this package was re-issued on CD in 1986, you might be able to find this easier. It doesn't miss any of the group's best songs so I can't argue the selection. If you want to try this pop juggernaut from the '60s, and there is no reason why you shouldn't, then this might be your best bet for it's ease of finding and good selection.

CD Review:
One of the few bands I enjoyed back in the '80s, Van Halen were liked by most of my peers as it had some monster rock hits. If you are looking for introspection, mind expanding lyrics, or anything else intellectually or emotionally stimulating, then this band and this album is not what you're looking for. This album is the ultimate party album; just fun and upbeat. Van Halen was always about good times and partying. This is their best album and has some of the best VH tunes, "Panama," "Jump" and my favourite "Hot for Teacher." So, if you want a good time party album then this is one of the best. If you want something meatier, then go get some Van Morrison and leave this alone.
