Review - :
Originally released in 1980 to coincide with the {$Jim Morrison} biography {-No One Here Gets Out Alive}, the life of {^Greatest Hits} began as a ten-track release on vinyl that acted as a very succinct introduction to {$the Doors}, with several of the band's most enduring songs -- {&"Light My Fire,"} {&"Break on Through,"} {&"Touch Me,"} {&"Hello, I Love You,"} {&"Riders on the Storm"} -- included. The only poor choice was {&"Not to Touch the Earth,"} which could have been replaced with any number of more significant songs in the band's catalog. When {@Elektra} reissued the title on CD in the mid-'90s, the label removed {&"Not to Touch the Earth"} and added a couple additional tracks to the program. This time, the extended version of {&"The Ghost Song,"} which had surfaced on the reissue of {^An American Prayer} (the original version is a couple minutes shorter), was the poor choice -- it too is not the kind of thing a casual fan needs on an overview. As of 2006, a better choice for a single-disc {$Doors} compilation remained {@Rhino}'s {^The Very Best of the Doors}. The two-disc {^Legacy: The Absolute Best}, released in 2003, is truly the best place to begin. [The Japanese edition of {^Greatest Hits} adds {&"Wintertime Love."}] ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
