• Track Listing

In between their cover-band beginnings in Champaign, IL and their ’80s stadium-rock smashes, REO Speedwagon began their journey to stardom with their self-titled debut on Epic in ’71. As bandmates came and went across "REO Two," "Ridin’ the Storm Out," "Lost in a Dream," "This Time We Mean It," "R.E.O" and the double album "You Get What You Play For (Live)," guitarist/songwriter Gary Richrath remained the driving force behind the band. Extensive liner notes join the aforementioned albums, chronicling REO Speedwagon’s rise to bigger and bigger halls as the ’80s approached. Their first hit, a live version of "Ridin’ the Storm Out," joins "Lay Me Down," "Sophisticated Lady," "Let Me Ride," "Music Man," "Like You Do," "Find My Fortune," "Open Up," "Lost in a Dream," "Throw the Chains Away," "Reelin’," "Lies," "Keep Pushin’," "Breakaway," live versions of "Any Kind of Love," "Son of a Poor Man," "Golden Country" and more. You’ll also find a wealth of bonus tracks including alternate versions, mono single versions and live recordings! Hear No Evil.
