History: America's Greatest Hits by America (CD, Jul-1987, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

Hey man ! If you only buy one CD America album, make it this one. If you are reading this, you are like me. I dug them in high school but never owned an album of them. Now that I am into storing MP3 and downloading to my player, I am buying "best of" CD's of some of my old favs. I did some research after seeing them in concert again and found that the best songs were on this album. There are other America best of albums out there but the extra songs and extra costs are a waste. This Album has the best songs of the era..... and the best thing about it, is there are no hisses or pops! YOU know what I mean ?! You can pick up a "brand new" album for under 10 bucks to the door, due to the fact most of the buying public has moved on. It's well worth it. Look around on Ebay, I just saw one for under $4 to the door. This is best way to get America's greatest hits on the quick and cheap.
Peace.

The cd includes all the hits from this group, the sound quality is very good considering it is not a recent release.

History - America's Greatest Hits was first released in 1975. I still have it on vinyl and this is my first c.d. My wife brought up a good point, "We don't have a record player in the car". Man smart--woman smarter.

In 1972, America burst on the music scene with "Horse With No Name", which stayed at #1 for three weeks. America also won the Best New Artist award at the Grammys the same year.

"I Need You" and "Ventura Highway" both made it into the Top 10. Who can't drive the Ventura Freeway in California without singing that song. The convertible on a Summer day is optional.

In the Winter of 1973, "Don't Cross The River" stayed in the Top 40 for a couple of weeks. Top 5 singles "Tin Man" & "Lonely People" fared much better in 1974 and '75 respectibly.

The Spring of 1975 "Sister Golden Hair" took America back to #1, their last. Flying me back to Memphis, great line from "Daisy Jane". All of the above are included in this package along with tunes from their first three albums.

In 1976, Dan Peek left America for a career in Contemporary Christian music.

"You Can Do Magic" hit #8 the Summer of 1982, but it isn't included in this Warner Brothers Greatest Hits compilation. At the time, America had changed record labels to Capital.

America does have other greatest hits packages, but this is the one to get. It features Dan Peek, Gerry Beckley & Dewey Bunnell...together, forever.

This is a good overview of a unique band. Their story is interesting and their storytelling was also something charming. It's a good album for someone wanting their best, or as a way to start the journey of exploring America's catalog.

This Greatest Hits collection from America has songs from newer Greatest hits collections but its worth having just for the single version of Dont Cross the River(different from the album version).

Muscrat Love, Horse with no name, and more fabulous songs by America. Used to listen to this group when I was younger and just drift away to the melodies these guys produce. Nothing better to mellow you out after a hard days work or play than these smooth harmonies.
Bringing back sooo many GOOD memories.

Thanks

A really good CD, nice addition to the collection. Takes you back to the 70's. Easy listening, beautiful harmonies. All good. Not a bad song on here. I bought it on vinyl, then on cassette, and it's worth having on CD, too. Enjoy !

Excellent product. Exactlty as listed. Thanks so very much. Hope to receive more of theis type of product

CD was in great condition! Fast shipping. Great seller! The case was in excellent condition, nicely packaged. Thank you!

Great music, my favorite is Daisy Jane. I used to have the album years ago and just decided to get the cd so I could enjoy it again.

If you've never heard America's songs, this collection is a good place to start. It begins with some of their most enduring hits from the early albums, and follows with songs from a much later era, some not even written by the group. What's missing are the better songs from their middle era, when their popularity first began to decline. Still, this collection takes the measure of this seventies group, which is known for its capable songwriting and excellent three-part harmonies.

only 2 good songs, Ventura Highway and Horse with No Name, and they are Great. The rest of the CD is lame.

ebay is a good deal and I like to search web for good deals. However, if I have to do review of at least 100 characters, I shall cease doing reviews and you'll have NO feedback. Requiring at least 100 characters is OVERKILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job. no problems with this seller. Great job. no problems with this seller.Great job. no problems with this seller.Great job. no problems with this seller.Great job. no problems with this seller

I realy liked the variety and excellant quality of the many great songs that will never go out of style. You will be surprised how you have forgoten alot of these songs and will enjoy hearing them again and again. I recommend that you purchase this cd and see if you find yourself singing right along with them just like you used too.

The CD has interesting songs and especially I was interested in the "A Horse with No Name ..." Which is an old favorit of mine. The group is also very good.
I got what I was buying. Thanks also for the prompt delivery.

I decided to buy this CD after hearing commercials for America's Concert in my hometown. These commercials contained a medley of their hits that reminded me why America was one of my favorite groups as a teenager. It is now one of my favorite CDs.

This is a great CD from start to finish. A lot of variety in sound & style from each song to the next-and all of them classics. One of my very favorite nostalgic albums.

JUST A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM. I LOVE THE HARMONY IN THEIR VOICES. VERY UNDERRATED.
REMINDS ME OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN THE MUSIC WAS PURE.
