Includes the best of the Blasters' first four albums, plus three rare bonus tracks. A perfect overview of the Americana band's brief 1980s recording career. The 21-song set includes the legendary Americana band's best-known tracks from their first four albums, alongside deep cuts and two songs originally featured on the sound track to director Walter Hill's 1984 cult film, Streets of Fire.
