Additional Information:
The original 1969 LP employed the Haeco-CSG system. This was a system that allowed stereo records to be played on mono turntables without ruining the sound. The result was records that sounded bad in both mono and stereo, due to the 90 degree phase shift of the right channel. The CD of this album was mastered from the same master tape which was used on its vinyl release, so the Haeco-CSG system is still intact. This was fixed on a limited-release underground internet "bootleg" of the album that currently floats around the internet. Currently, The Association's Greatest Hits is possibly one of the worst sounding CSG processed LPs or CDs ever.
Well... I don't happen to agree with the above statement! All things considered, this disc sounds pretty good to me. It has a nice smooth sound with a full range, and when you think about when it was originally recorded, I would give it a 9/10.
Plus... This disc contains some of the best pop hits of the (mid to late) sixties.
