The Greatest Hits 1970-2002

Product Information

It's not a great album nor diamond in the rough but a collection of songs most of which needed a better producer, more pruning. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

Sadly, beyond the box set (and that's a quarter century out of date now), there doesn't seem to be such a thing.

This record/CD covers his career from the early hits to "Songs from the West Coast", the album released in 2001. But the three greatest hits albums are up there too (why not reissue those instead of this new Diamonds package?
