Big Innings: The Best of The Outfield

Basically remembered today for their biggest hit, "Your Love," The Outfield had a few year period where they released a string of hit singles and albums. Big Innings: The Best of The Outfield does a very good job of bringing together these hits, plus a few new tracks, album tracks, and a b-sides. For most casual fans, myself included, this will prove a sufficient collection, as it hits all the important tracks. My favorite track on here is "For You," one of their bigger hits that I'd previously not encountered. There are many other cool songs included, however, including the hits "Say It Isn't So," "Since You've Been Gone," and "Voices of Babylon," and the new track "It Should Have Been Me," which sounds like it could easily have been a hit in its own right. Fans of late 80s pop, or even those just looking for a disc with "Your Love," should invest in this and enjoy the significant output of The Outfield.
