3 stars A decent compilation of the band's material from their classic albums of the late 60's and early 70's. I have had a small complex about this band (among the million other things), as I love their few hit songs, but I have never really gotten a grip of their other classic material, though I have tried... Maybe they often lack the emotional power that is present in the "Nights in White Satin" song? This element was much stronger present in their earliest material, when they started out as a rhythm'n'blues band at the early 60's, which material is not presented on this album. This is still much nicer listening experience than their full studio albums for me. I have placed the albums "On The Threshold of A Dream" and "In The Search of The Lost Chord" next to my stereos, and they are waiting for a day when I have gained enough strength for some further listening.
