I Could Be Happy: The Best Of Altered Images by Altered Images - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

I Could Be Happy: The Best of Altered Images is an excellent, thorough collection covering all of the highlights from the band's three albums, adding several non-LP singles for good measure. All of the group's hits -- "Happy Birthday," "I Could Be Happy," "See Those Eyes," "Love and Kisses" -- are presented, usually in their single versions, plus many fine album tracks, making I Could Be Happy a definitive retrospective. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
