This Oak Ridge Boys compilation is the BEST compilation that you can get for their hits from MCA Records from when they signed onto the label in 1977, until 1987, when Steve Sanders took over William Lee Golden's role in the band (until 1996.) Besides that, you get a couple of leftover tracks from their gospel period from their years at Columbia Records. Some hits added here that weren't on their first two greatest hits packages are 'So Fine' and 'I Wish I Could Have Turned My Head...' from 'Bobbie Sue', 'When You Get To The Heart' from Barbara Mandrell's 1985 release 'Get To The Heart', 'Juliet', and 'You Made A Rock Of A Rolling Stone' from 'Seasons', and Steve's first hit with the group 'Time In' from 'Heartbeat.' The only bad thing about this release is that it has the short version of 'Elvira', instead of the long version found on 'Greatest Hits 2' - that being said, you can now avoid that release, along with 1980's 'Greatest Hits', and 1992's 'Collection', as all of the hits from those compilations are found on this two disc set. However, if you want ALL of the Oak's hits from their hit making days at MCA, be sure to get 'Greatest Hits 3', as well as 'American Dreams' (with the hits 'An American Family', 'No Matter How High', and 'Baby You'll Be My Baby'), and 'Monongahela' (with the hit 'Beyond Those Years' not found on 'GH 3'.) Great job Univeral Music - this one is a keeper!Read full review
This CD pretty much has all of the Oak Ridge Boys country hits from the mid 1970's onward. Only thing missing is the earlier and later gospel songs that they are so well known for. If you like the Oak Ridge Boys' country years, you'll enjoy this two CD set.

I bought The Oak Ridge Boys Gold 2CD set because I wanted to have their hits together in one package. This has happened for the most part with this cd set. The only thing that I don't like, is that it stops with the hit "True Heart". There were other hits like "No Matter How High" that were not included. But all in all, I would recommend to any Oak Ridge Boys fan, to buy this product. I can put it in my cd player and just let it play!
If your an Oakridge Boys fan this is a must have collection. It was recorded at the peak of their singing career and their voices blend in perfect harmony. Sit back, tap your feet, sing along and enjoy.
