Why we rate it

Presented in a fully laminated sleeve and made in England, this Arcade Records edition captures the early-’70s singles era in one concise package. Notes document a slight back-cover variation for this issue, plus an added “Also available on musicassette” line under the Side Two tracklist. The title appears as “Twenty Fantastic Hits” on the labels, and several tracks are noted as mono. Compiled by Gem Productions in association with Polydor Ltd., it’s a tidy UK pressing with period-correct details.
