How 'bout adding a bonus 45 (or mini CD) to the collection...a sort of Mount Vernon & Fairway but with a rap/hiphop theme - it would include Wipeout (Fat boys version) and Smart Girls (BB samples mix)   Razz

Still A Mystery (the best thing the BBs recorded in the 80s or 90s, and it's not even close....in my top-10 BBs songs, easily)
Somewhere Near Japan (I think the lyrics kind of suck, actually, but Carl and Al more than make up for it with stellar vocals)

Runners Up:
California Dreamin'
Where I Belong (some of my favorite block harmony ever)

It's Not Easy Being Me

To me, this is the best song, hands down, from this period -- +1 million

#2 - "Stevie"

I'd love to hear anything Dennis may have recorded '80-'83 as well.
