This record has the entire 'Gulided palace of sin' album spread over the two discs. It also have alot of cuts from 'Burrito deluxe' (almost all), some live stuff (thats not too interesting) and some songs from the time after Gram left the Burritos. Its a good place to start, but when you can get both Palace and Deluxe on one disc I would say thats a much better buy since you get the true album feel over it.
The greatest selling point on this "Best Of" collection is the incredible job the producer did in cleaning up and freshening the sound quality. One of the biggest problems with the original Burrito's releases was the often muddled and muffled sound and overbearing bass lines. The songs and the writing were always better than the quality of the studio versions. Not so here! I don't know how they did it, but every song here sounds better than the original version....clear, fresh, crisp treble tones are audible for the first time and the stereo separation seems more distinctive as well. They also did an outstanding and inclusive job in selecting the songs. Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman, and Flying Burrito fans should run, not walk, to add this to their collections!
