An expanded, remastered version of the group's original 1972 compilation. With two extra songs and all the familiar hits restored to their original album version lengths (as opposed to the radio-edit single versions), pound for pound, this is probably the best single-disc Blood Sweat & Tears hits package available.
GREATEST HITS includes representative tracks from every phase of the band's career. Two tracks--the James Brown inspired "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know," and the addictive "I Can't Quit Her," are from the group's original Al Kooper-led incarnation, while two overlooked songs--"So Long Dixie" and "More and More"--are from NEW BLOOD, their 1972 album without better-known leader David Clayton-Thomas.
