Great Value

"For anyone seeking a good cross-section of Mountain's best work at a bargain price, this disc is a fine choice. Vastly superior to the hackneyed "Extended Versions" (a hodgepodge of sloppy and very poorly edited live performances), this one delivers a nice sampler of Mountain's best studio work. The track selection is quite good, including "Blood of the Sun", from Leslie West's "Mountain" solo album (produced by Felix Pappalardi), which led to the formation of the band, as well as highlights from the band's heyday. This disc is a good pick for anyone, showing the band at their best, and delivering good music at an exceptional price. Highly recommended."
