    What do you do when you acquire huge catalogs of music? Why, re-release them to the frustrated-because-it's- out-of-print public. While many an Adam Again fan may have their entire catalog, this first best-of from this band showcases tunes especially from their dirty stripped-down post-New World Of Time era. Unlike most best-of albums, this one "goes backwards," saving the oldest material for the end of the cd, instead of starting with the old material first and chronologically moving towards the present. So, instead of an evolutionary look at the band, we get the devolution of Adam Again. \

    The Lighthouse Unsorted 1999Reviewed by Alex KlagesMy biggest regret concerning the band Adam Again is having discovered them too late. Trying to find any of their albums is surely a feat! Those who bought Adam Again's projects before they went out of print (which usually happened fairly quickly), hold on to them because, like fellow Californians Daniel Amos, they're a topnotch band that simply never seemed to get the fame or adulation they…The Phantom Tollbooth 1999Reviewed by Steven S.

No-one is ever quite satisfied with the selection of songs included in such a compilation as this, but while fans may be dismayed at the absence of one cut or another, this is a worthy showcase for one of the funkiest bands ever to combine organs and guitars. Adam…The Phantom Tollbooth 1999Reviewed by Shari LloydThis album makes me wonder why I never really got into Adam Again's music. There is some really great stuff here, especially the funkier songs like "Strobe" and "Eyes Wide Open." Worldwide Favourites should serve as an excellent introduction to a new generation of fans. 4 tocks
