YOU WANTED THE BEST, YOU GOT THE BEST is mostly a compilation of previously issued live recordings from ALIVE and ALIVE II. This release was done to coincide with the 1996-97 reunion tour of the original 4 members. The selling point for this collection was the inclusion of four live outtakes from the ALIVE sets, all originally recorded between 1975 and 1977. This was obviously marketed towards the hardcore fans who were more than thrilled to finally be able to hear live versions of "Two Timer", "Room Service", "Let Me Know" and "Take Me". In the case of the 1975 tracks, its obvious why these didn't make the final cut, even if they are fun in a lighthearted way. The controversy about these tracks involves the fact that Gene & Paul re-recorded their vocal tracks in 1996 to help buff away the rough edges that were present in the original. This does cheapen their value a bit and detract somewhat from their novelty. However, most fans who hear this album will never know the backstory and find nothing wrong with this collection. I'll admit that I bought a copy when it came out and thought it was good fun at best, but only diehards will consider this to be an essential purchase.
