Best BB compilation on vinyl?

[Watch a Cave]

For me definitely go with 10 Years of Harmony for the 70s stuff.. what a fantastic compilation.

For the 60s I would go with Sunshine Dream, Endless Summer, or Spirit of America.


Not only is the music amazing (of course), but the packaging is very enjoyable on all of these as well.

According to the song timings listed on Wikipedia (I know, I know...) "Cotton Fields" is the single version, ergo can't be stereo. If you can confirm one way or the other, I'd appreciate that. Album version is about 2.20, single is 3.00 or so.

Many thanks for that: I shall now go and thrash myself with a holly branch* for being so dumb as to trust Wikipedia.
