Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced with newly remixed involvement from George Martin, this collection successfully polished the Anglo-American trio's defining acoustic hits. The breezy, incredibly lucrative soft-rock arrangements effectively defined the laid-back, post-psychedelic mellowing of mainstream 1970s radio.
