COME AND GET IT THE BEST OF APPLE RECORDS

Nice Artwork, isn't it?
This album is basically a collection of songs released as a single record and non album tracks.
Following artists probably released only single record on Apple Record,
The Black Dyke Mills Band, Trash, Ronnie Spector, The Hot Chocolate Band, Chris Hodge, Sundown Playboys, Bill Elliot & The Elastic Oz Band and Lon and Brute Force.
Put aside this, for example,  Lon and Derrek Van Eaton, they release the album from Apple, but it is never released on CD for a long long time.

This time, Apple released box set, but it isn't a complete set anyway concerning still more unreleased recording they have not yet released mot sure the reason.

Tracks included on this albums are as follows;
1.Those Were The Days / Mary Hopkin  /1968
2.Carolina In My Mind / James Taylor /1968
3.Maybe Tomorrow / The Iveys /1968
4.Thingumybob / The Black Dyke Mills Band /1968
5.King Of Fuh / Brute Force /1969
6.Sour Milk Sea / Jackie Lomax /1968
7.Goodbye / Mary Hopkin /1969
8.That's The Way God Planned It / Billy Preston /1969
9.New Day / Jackie Lomax /1969
10.Golden Slumbers-Carry That Weight / Trash /1969
11.Give Peace A Chance / Hot Chocolate Band /1969
12.Come And Get It / Badfinger /1969
13.Ain't That Cute / Doris Troy /1970
14.My Sweet Lord / Billy Preston /1970
15.Try Some Buy Some / Ronnie Spector /1971
16.Govinda / Radha Krishna Temple /1970
17.We're On Our Way / Chris Hodge /1972
18.Saturday Nite Special / The Sundown Playboys /1972
19.God Save Us / Bill Elliot & The Elastic Oz Band /1971
20.Sweet Music / Lon & Derrek van Eaton /1972
21.Day After Day / Badfinger /1972


I think this is the nice compilation, although I felt this is the good Apple sampler, not the best.
I just can feel the atmosphere of that era listening to this album.
