Greatest of the Greatest Hits on Vinyl

For the most part, “The Best Of - Just About Anyone” LP is a wasteland of poor fidelity. There are some exceptions, though, and I am wondering if folks will offer their suggestions for “Greatest Hits” or “Best of” LP’s where the recording quality of the music meets or exceeds the original LP’s on which the singles are found. Any genre, but please, vinyl only.

Here is a couple from my experience, just to get the ball rolling:

America - “History: America’s Greatest Hits”: Warner Bros. K 56169 (1975)

Dave Mason - “The Best of Dave Mason”: Blue Thumb BTS6013 (1974)

4yanx I was trying to think of some good 'greatest hits' CDs/LPs/8-tracks but I wasn't near my system and could not come up with anything off the top of my empty head. So I went and checked. I found a few:
1) twenty years of Jethro Tull - lots of gems hidden away
2) Elton John - To be continued... 4 CD set
3) Cat Stevens Greatest Hits
4) Michael Card 'Joy in the Journey'

Dunno if this qualifies since I think it more of a compilation. Did these guys even have hits? I've never heard them on the radio or seen them on TV except PBS. Still dunno but Asleep At The Wheel's "Texas Gold" is great.
