Our take on the Lynyrd Skynyrd Essential Essential Hawaiians

A two-disc, 25-track compilation released in 1998 for the band's 25th anniversary. It replaced the earlier Gold & Platinum set and adds nine tracks, including a previously unreleased original take of "Comin' Home," live cuts and the core hits. It suits newcomers who want one broad Skynyrd collection and casual fans who never bought Gold & Platinum. Against single-disc greatest-hits packages it offers more deep cuts and live material, but it is not a complete album reissue and stops at the 1977 plane crash era.
