"Made in FRA in 2000, Serial# SI-998932, Playing Time 50:54This compilation lifts material from their 4 albums on Columbia records, namely "Bloody Buccaneers", "Face It", "Love Sweat", and the expanded version of the "Naked Truth" album called "The Complete Naked Truth".The first 3 tracks present "unplugged" versions of familiar tracks, so NOT the originals.Even though the coverage is fairly focused, the track selection is very disappointing: there are much better tracks on these albums that would tease the listener into buying the full albums!Calling this a "greatest hits" is an outrage! My only consolation is that it's a picture disc..."

No Greatest Hits

"There is "Radar Love" and "Weekend Love" on it. But it's not at all a greatest hits album. The other songs are quite mediocre. Songs as "Back Home" and "Buddy Joe" or "She Flies On Strange Wings" are missing. Unfortunately, there is no real "Greatest Hits" album available in the US yet."

Um, guys, these aren't the best choices....

"Golden Earring has quality songs, but the thing is...they don't seem to know exactly which ones *are* their quality songs. There was no need to include songs from the Love Sweat album. While I aplaud including the three Bloody Buccaneers tracks (everyone knows I'm a big fan of that album), I must ask WHY they would include acoustic versions of Radar Love, Weekend Love, and When The Lady Smiles. The studio versions are much better, and it's what most people want to hear. This Wheel's One Fire is a lousy song, and why they felt the need to do a cover of it is beyond me. Angel is overrated and Johnny Make Believe really doesn't deserve to hang with a greatest hits crowd."
