This compendium of the New Zealand band's best material includes Neil Finn's "I Got You" which went to number 12 in the UK when it came out in 1980. Neil would later go on to form Crowded House, while his brother Tim would release several solo albums and join Neil on his band's album WOODFACE in 1991.

This collection is Beatles-influenced New Wave--the keyboard and all its sonic capabilities was somewhat de rigueur for many bands in the early '80s, and is heavily featured here. Besides the aforementioned "I Got You," other great tunes include "Six Months in a Leaky Boat," the simple, anger-motivated "I See Red" and the sweetly romantic "Message to My Girl." Much as with early Beatles, these songs are simple, direct, short, and uncomplicated.

Liner Note Author: Tim Finn.

Personnel: Neil Finn (vocals, guitar); Tim Finn (vocals); Eddie Rayner (keyboards); Noel Crombie (drums, percussion); Malcolm Green (drums); Nigel Griggs (background vocals).

Audio Remasterer: Arnie Acosta.

Q (10/95, p.147) - 3 Stars - Good - "...when Neil Finn got drafted in to join his brother Tim in 1977...in came a far purer sense of pop..."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

3 stars The Best of Split Enz
I am so glad that this particular piece of musical history is repeating. New Zealand brothers Neil and Tim Finn wrote some great songs...from the hauntingly melodic 'I Hope I Never' to the Split Enz classic 'I Got You' this CD has something for every fan of 80's New Wave that has been molded and melded into art rock.

5 stars Excellent compilation!
This is probably the best Split Enz greatest hits disc that's out there in the market. Favs are "I Got You", "Hard Act To Follow", and "One Step Ahead". Neil Finn is the voice!

Following the critically and commercially successful 1997 OLD FRIENDS box set, Legacy released a single-disc Simon & Garfunkel best-of collection. Simon & Garfunkel's are arguably the most successful duo in pop history, and this set features all of their charting songs.

With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly ...

The Best Of Split Enz music CDs
CD $11.65  Audio Samples
Recorded in August 1958 and February 1959. Includes liner notes by Nat Hentoff and Alun Morgan. Sort of a "Reader's Digest" version of the Ellington band--head tunes followed by a series of solos, jam session style. In this case the soloists include altoist Hodges, tenor icon Ben Webster and Harry "Sweets" Edison on variously muted and plungered trumpet. There's just enough arranging to keep things together and give SIDE BY SIDE a "little big band" feel, as on "Big Shoe," when Hodges, Webster, trumpeter Roy Eldridge and trombonist Lawrence Brown (another Ellington veteran) seem to breathe as one on ...
