Bob Marley – 1967-1972 – Gold (2005)

Although it’s derived from the same set of early recordings that all “grey market” Bob Marley compilations draw from, this release has legitimacy on its side. The main reason is that it’s on Island, the label that Marley was officially signed to in his later years and the label the Marley estate chose as distributor for its Tuff Gong imprint.

The Three Degrees – The Best Of The Three Degrees (2000)

The Three Degrees - The Best Of The Three Degrees (2000)

During the long fickle history of popular music, female groups have come and gone in the pop charts. The Supremes, Martha And The Vandellas, The Ronettes, The Crystals and, more recently, Bananarama and The Spice Girls, are some of the names who have achieved world-wide recognition in their time.

VA – Pulp Fiction: Music From The Motion Picture (1994)

VA - Pulp Fiction: Music From The Motion Picture (1994)

The soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino’s darkly funny crime classic Pulp Fiction manages to re-create the film’s wildly careening sense of style, violence, and humor by concentrating on the surf music that comprises the bulk of the movie’s incidental music and adding a few sexy oldies integral to the film’s story (“Let’s Stay Together,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” “You Never Can Tell”).

Various Artists – New Wave – Gold (2007)

Various Artists - New Wave - Gold (2007)

When it comes to new wave compilations that attempt to strike a balance between well-known hits and lesser-known singles that deserved more play, the New Wave installment in Hip-O’s Gold series has to be considered exceptional. If you already own a good number of new wave comps, you will likely have a good portion of what is here, including Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love,” the Waitresses’ “I Know What Boys Like,” Bow Wow Wow’s “I Want Candy,” and Nena’s “99 Luftballoons.” This being a generous 30-track, two-disc set, there’s a lot of room left for the deeper inclusions.
