Review

Mainly a revised version of the Chartbusters collection, Beserkley's Best does a good job of summing up the legendary label's high points with tracks from better known acts like Jonathan Richman and Greg Kihn along with the sorely underated Rubinoos, Earthquake, and the Spitballs (the Beserkley "supergroup"). ~ Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide
