I recently found a TJB compilation on eBay that I'd not seen before. It's called THE VERY BEST: 16 GREATEST HITS. It looks like it was released on A&M in Germany back in 1986.
The track listing includes most of the usual suspects:
A Taste Of Honey
Tijuana Taxi
Zorba The Greek
What Now My Love
This Guy's In Love With You
Casino Royale
Cabaret
A Banda
The Lonely Bull
Spanish Flea
Whipped Cream
South Of The Border
The Girl From Ipanema
A Walk In The Black Forest
Hello Dolly
Acapulco 1922
I find it odd that it includes three tracks from SOUTH OF THE BORDER, and none of them are "Mexican Shuffle." And I suppose that "A Walk In The Black Forest" would be more of a natural on a German compilation.
Catalog number is A&M 396 906 2 and there are no liner notes at all. The inside part of the insert just has an anlarged picture of the group at the picnic table from the front cover. The back has a track listing.
The truly oddest thing about this compilation has to do with "The Lonely Bull." Not just that it's not track 1, but the fact that it starts with several of the first notes of the fanfare cut off. I don't know if it was intentional or a mistake, but it sure sounds weird.
