Is this the best of the Kottke compilations? It does have a narrower focus than Rhino's Anthology and the sound is excellent. Leo's stay at Capitol was when he made his mark - Pamela Brown even got played on FM stations at the time.

That is what I did.

It might have better notes, but for the sheer guitar slinging power of Kottke's unique attack on six- and twelve- string guitars, this 27-cut BGO version is the best one for the money. Sonically it is superior, using later-phase master technology, and its presentation is sleeker as well. The biggest asset here is that this collection does feature some of the more well-known vocal selections closely associated with the guitarist, such as "Pamela Brown," "Power Failure," and "Eight Miles High," but there are only a handful of them ...
