Dr. Hook has always been a band that is hard to describe, and this double CD showcases that aspect of them. There are several songs on here that were hits, and many that were B-sides and album cuts. Some have stood up to the test of time and others are showing their age. But all told, this is a very fun collection of music by a band that never took themselves very seriously. If you are a fan of Dr. Hook, you will like this CD. If you are not a Dr. Hook fan beyond their mainstream hits, you might be better off with their standard Greatest Hits collection.
This is an album that contains some of the bands best known songs and some of their lesser known songs so therefore I suppose it is a "Collection" of sorts. It is certainly a mish/mash of their songs so will please some but maybe not all but is a break from the traditional "Greatest Hits or Best Of" as you get a good mixture of their overall work. If you want a true "Collection" it just aint out there. Hopefully somewhere down the track someone will sit down and compile a true Dr Hook Collection (which will take a double album) and contain all their true hits, some misses and some rareities like "Wild Colonial Boy"; "Daddy's Little Girl"; "Red Winged Blackbird" .....and so on and so on but until then if you want their best of stick with "Hits & History" or "The Singles" and supplement your appetite with this album for some of their lesser known songs.
I did not get the product I ordered so I can not give a good review
