Don McLean, 1989.
Pretty much a case of what you see is what you get.
There are the 2 HUGE classic songs, American Pie and Vincent.
How did they manage to emerge from seemingly nowhere, and return to the same place?
This album can be found in many a discount bin across the country, I've no doubt - and for $10, it's worth purchasing for these 2 songs, though the American Pie album contains a good deal more atmosphere/zeitgeist (how much is a song worth?).
So, on this collection we are also treated to a selection of mini-hits - And I Love You So, Crying, the hilariously inane "Building My Body", and one of my personal favourites from American Pie, Babylon (Arr. by Bach?).
Apparently McLean is still producing work - it would be interesting to check out the newer stuff.
If you're after hits, and in particular the BIG TWO, splash out 5 to 10 dollars and away you go!
7/10.
