An anthology of older recordings, Oct 3 1998
By Bill Smythe - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Greatest Hits was originally released as a vinyl LP in about 1967, and was at the time a collection of titles from earlier recordings. There is no such thing as a bad release by Frankie, but those wishing to start a Yankovic collection would do better to order Songs of the Polka King Volume I and/or Songs of the Polka King Volume II, on the Cleveland International label.

Good Taste of Yankovic, Dec 7 2004
By Edward J. Vasicek "Author, pastor, columnist" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Yankovic's great accordian work with such happy songs as The Too Fat Polka, The Pennsylvania Polka, or the ever popular Beer Barrel Polka mesh well together.We could argue that "Who Stole the Keeshka?" is the happiest song ever written! And Yankovic's version is best. We find out that "Yasha found the Keeshka!" Other versions leave the mystery unsolved!
This is great feel good music.

A decent overview of the original hits (no remakes), Oct 11 2001
By Bradley Olson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Although this does omit the top 20 hit "Iron Range Polka" this does offer a decent overview of Frankie's signature songs in their original hit versions all in stereo except for the 2 top 10 hits he's ever had as they have been released in the 1940's, "Blue Skirt Waltz" and "Just Because." Other highlights on here include "Too Fat Polka," "Who Stole The Keeshka," and what I think is the definitive polka, the "Beer Barrel Polka." As another review has stated this was released on vinyl back in 1967 on Columbia and now for the low price of about $10, you can enjoy the polka king right on this CD. Unless you are a diehard fan, this is probably the only CD you'll ever need by Frankie with most of his signature songs among its 11 songs all in their original hit versions with no filler.
