some wear on the outer sleeve I don't ever remember playing these and have no way to test them out, it is sold as is with no returns.

There have been dozens and dozens of compilations released over the decades, but the first one remains definitive, even if it's not perfect. Released in 1984 as a gap-filler -- for were regrouping in the wake of the bandmember shuffling that followed the odd album -- compiled two-dozen songs across two discs (latter-day editions adding a good serving of bonus tracks, too). Many of the band's best songs to date are here, like "Ace of Spades," "Stay Clean," "Overkill," "Bomber," and "Iron Fist." There are also four new recordings that were cut exclusively for : "Killed by Death," "Snaggletooth," "Steal Your Face," and "Locomotive." These four songs were cut by the newly instated four-piece lineup that would go on to record (1986): guitarists and , drummer , and of course, bassist/vocalist . These new recordings make more than a standard greatest-hits package, as do the number of stray recordings compiled here as well. For starters, rounds up "Please Don't Touch" and "Emergency," which were released on a 1981 split EP with , . It also rounds up an early single ("Louie, Louie") as well as a pair of B-sides ("Too Late, Too Late" and "Like a Nightmare") and a tossed-about live cover "Leaving Here." The inclusion of these stray recordings likewise makes more than a standard greatest-hits package. Rather, it's a collection that caters to newbies as well as completists. And furthermore, it plays well, as the new songs and stray material are sequenced toward the end of each LP side, so the collection ebbs and flows between the familiar and unfamiliar, between the great and good. Granted, a straightforward best-of collection may be more suitable to newcomers looking for a one-stop compilation. For instance, doesn't account for the wealth of music would release post-1984, and too, it misses a lot of great songs that could have taken the place of the odds and ends rounded up here. So a straight-ahead, single-disc chronological survey would be a nice alternative, especially one that accounts for late-'80s highlights like "Deaf Forever," "Orgasmatron," "Rock 'n' Roll," and "Eat the Rich." But there's something to be said for tradition, and is to what is to -- an age-old collection that every metalhead seemed to own at some point, the one that seemed to define the band for generations on end. is one of those classic albums, no doubt
