1963-1966: Birth of Brilliance

Thirty-two song double CD presents much of the best material from the domestic Excelsior compilations of their early years, as well as some songs (some of which are pretty good) that don't appear on those sets. Because of its better sound, this collection has the edge as the best compilation of their early work, though it's hard to find. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
