This is Al's 5th compilation album, but the first to include new and rare material.

In this boxed set, you will not only find a booklet with over 200 cool and rare photos of Al and the band, along with the story of Al's career, but: the original bathroom recording of My Bologna, the original version of Happy Birthday, the single version of the theme to UHF, and a brand new song!

The new song is Headline News which preys upon the over-hyped newsstories of Lorena Bobbitt, Michael Faye (the caning victim in Singapore), and the rivalry between Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. This song can also be found on Createst Hits Volume 2 but nowhere else.

Whether you're new to Al or a hard-core Al-Head looking for raritites, this box set is for you!
