Review
Deciding 1976's The Best of the Band wasn't enough (or wanting to have a product out to compete with The Last Waltz), Capitol released the two-LP Anthology, a skimpy 20-track, two-LP set with liner notes by rock critic Robert Palmer. It's more complete than The Best of the Band, but shares the same problem -- that the Band is best appreciated on their full-length albums rather than on any compilation. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi| Anthology (1975 Album by The Marvelettes) | |
