Pink Floyd - Echoes: The Best Of (2001)

Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd is a compilation album by Pink Floyd. The compilation spans the career of Pink Floyd from their first single "Arnold Layne" in 1967, through to "High Hopes", the final track from their 1994 studio album The Division Bell. Four of their albums—Soundtrack from the Film More, Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother, and Obscured by Clouds- are not represented whatsoever, though multiple tracks from Atom Heart Mother and Ummagumma were planned to appear on the compilation.

Each of the twenty-six tracks fades from one to the next with no break in the music, courtesy of longtime producer–engineer James Guthrie to help recreate the concept album feel of the band's mid-period work. All twenty-six tracks were newly remastered specifically for this compilation and are not sequenced in chronological order.

Rush - Retrospective II (1997)

Jimi Hendrix - Smash Hit (1966)

Smash Hits is the first compilation album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was first released in the UK in 1968, only four months after the band's second studio album, Axis: Bold as Love, and while they were working on their third. Containing their first four (hit) UK singles (and their respective B-sides) in addition to four standout tracks from their (hit) LP Are You Experienced, Smash Hits became exactly that - a #5 album in the UK and one that had a long chart life. It also marked the first appearance on album of "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", five months ahead of its placement on Electric Ladyland.

 1. Purple Haze – 2:52 – 18 MB
 2. Fire – 2:45 – 17 MB
