This 20-track survey of the band's history, selected by Kaylan and Volman, hits all the key tracks, including "It Ain't Me Babe," a fine version of P.F. Sloan's "Let Me Be," the Ray Davies-produced "Love in the City," and the big pop hits "Happy Together" and "Elenore." A special treat is a previously unissued Chevrolet Camaro radio commercial that finds the Turtles gleefully hawking cars, complete with a voice cameo from Warren Zevon. ~ Steve Leggett Professional Reviews: Record Collector (magazine) (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The group's musical evolution is astutely charted, from 1965 folk-rock beginnings with Dylan's 'It Ain't Me, Babe' through 1967 West Coast pop triumphs..."
