Released at the end of the band's career,
15 Thoughts of Brinsley Schwarz has a few questionable oversights and inclusions, and it does take a couple of detours, but it contains the bulk of the group's best-known songs. Yes, some highlights are missing, and it does overlap with
Original Golden Greats, but it's a stronger overall collection than its predecessor, capturing the
Brinsleys at their best. [It was made even stronger in 2000, when BGO combined 15 Thoughts and
Golden Greats as a two-fer.]
