"After having been slightly dissapointed in ASIA's current album Pheonix, Listening to ASIA GOLD was an incredible pleasure as well as a rich nostalgic trip back to the eighties. Lets face it, without john wetton, it just isnt asia. This compilation of greatest hits has some great b-sides that I havent heard since the late eighties/early nineties. This is as complete a collection of Asia as you're bound to get. Two Discs with all three albums..b sides from the first two albums, four original songs that were included in the previous asia greatest hits cd. Wow is all I can say. The sound of Asia is still rich and epic as ever. A great bargain for the price that amazon is selling it. This is a must have for any Asia fan."
Have it all !!

"Based on a previous review, someone said that this was the best, most complete collection, I purchased this album...and the review was correct. I got a great album. The quality of musician-ship is surrounding. If you like Asia and you want a sampling of their music, then go for the GOLD."
What more do you want?

An Even Better Version Of ANTHOLOGIA

"Asia's GOLD is an even better version of their ANTHOLOGIA double-CD set; both include the entirety of the recordings they made for Geffen between 1982 and 1990. This one improves the sound quality immensely and corrects some errors in the original version. Therefore, even if you own ANTHOLOGIA, you should buy this set, especially since the belief among the members of the original line-up- now back together- that Indonesia's 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist was trumped-up and unjust makes this collection an essential purchase for your conscience as well as your ears, even if the original album covers aren't in the booklet for this one."
