Great item at a super price - has most everything 3DN did!! Excellent liner notes, too!.

A 60's To Mid 70's Soundtrack
I notice they used the same mono 45 RPM singles as well which I still have to this day. A fantastic collection and worth getting if you grew up listening to these guys year after year making great hit singles. Some guy wrote giving this a one! then trys to weezle out of it saying the best of collection is best, dude get it together man, obviously some don't know the band very well. If you want every major track in one place and not afraid of the original mono singles, get this one, if your a later fan and have NO idea what mono was or is! Get one of many "Best Of" collections but don't give a 1 because it is not a regular run of the mill collection!.

Best Three Dog Night package period!
The two-disc set includes all of their hits and unlike several other releases, these are the original mix versions that were played on the radio. This is without a doubt the best Three Dog Night CD you can buy. There are also a great many other tracks taken from all of their albums and everything here is absolutely wonderful. I've been a fan of this band since 1968 and I have never understood for the life of me why they barely merit a footnote in the history of rock and roll. As far as I'm concerned they should be at the top of the list! They had three highly interperative singers who sang in three part harmony and a four piece band that absolutely rocked! The craftmanship of their music is amazing. They could do in three minutes what many of the so-called late 60's rock stars couldn't do on one side of an album. Their songs are catchy and above all else fun. You'll find yourself wanting to hear them again and again. And it's true that they did not write their own material, but what's often overlooked is they made stars out of many of the songwriters who did! This cd is the real deal on Three Dog Night!.

3 Dog Night Still Rock!
Try A Little Tenderness is still in my Car's CD player along with all their music. This band sounds better than ever! How many groups can you say that about 40 years later? They didn't COVER peoples music ,they were asked to sing many of their songs because they are so good. It will be a sad day when I can no longer see them perform!.

Not a perfect anthology but darn close
Those are the fans that probably need to buy the original albums and leave it alone. Fans can always complain about what was left off of a collection. For those of us who purchased the singles for Three Dog Night (and some of their early albums) when they came out this is a perfect collection of the band's 18 Top 20 hits, key album tracks and rarities.

The CD collection opens with early singles/songs recorded by Danny Hutton (when he was a staff writer at Hanna-Barbara the production company responsible for "Scooby Doo" and "Josie and the Pussycats" cartoons), Cory Wells with his band The Enemies (whose sign off was "Love Thy Enemy")and a demo featuring the trio of singers produced by Brian Wilson ("Time to Get Alone"). We then jump into tracks from their first album and singles including a cover of Traffic's "Heaven is in Your Mind", Elton John's "Lady Samantha" (before he became a star in the U. S. ) and other classic tracks.

The second disc takes off with Hoyt Axton's classic "Never Been To Spain" and continues through the band at their peak until about the 16th track. The last couple of tracks are from less successful releases but no less worthy.

Sound quality is exceptional with many of the original stereo and mono mixes used (the band and producers selected the best sounding mixes for inclusion). The album is beautifully remastered by Bill Inglot and Dan Hirsch. The original selections sound terrific. There's also an 18 page booklet with comments from the band and complete original credits. If you only want their hits the single disc collection is probably the way to go but that overlooks many of their fine albums tracks and songs that didn't quite chart. With 43 songs from from 1965 (when the early singles/demos were recorded)until 1983 (the band's last album--yeah I know it's subtitled 1965-1975 but the anthology goes beyond the salad days of the band)this truly is the best collection available. Although Edsel has reissued many of these as 2fers on Cd the sound quality is inferior on many of them.

Formed in 1967 by Cory Wells, Danny Hutton and Chuck Negron the band was unusual from the start--they performed the best songs by OTHER writers. It was a perfect approach for three lead singers that allowed the best songs to be recorded without bruising too many egos early on. The trio fo singers recruited musicians that they had known and played with over the years to fill out the band and by April of 1969 had their first top ten single a cover of Harry Nilsson's classic "One". From there the band had a string of hits including their cover of Randy Newman's "Mama Told Me Not To Come" (#1), "Joy to the World" (Hoyt Axton a fishing buddy of Cory's), "Black & White", "Eli's Coming" (Laura Nyro), "Shambala", "Sure As I'm Sitting Here" (John Hiatt) and others. .
