Groovies' Greatest Grooves


Groovies' Greatest Grooves is a 1989 compilation album by U.S. rock band the Flamin' Groovies, released by Sire Records. The tracks were selected by Rolling Stone Senior Writer Michael Goldberg and freelance rock critic Michael Snyder, who also co-wrote the liner notes. Goldberg and Snyder wanted to emphasize the Groovies' original material, and so 18 of the album's 24 songs are Groovies originals.
It collected tracks from throughout the group's career, and showcased their versatility and changing styles. It draws heavily from their three Sire Records albums, with 20 of the 24 songs from those records.
Groovies' Greatest Grooves is notable for being one of the few CDs released in the CD+G format.
