The Best... Album in the World...Ever!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Best... Album in the World...Ever! is a long running compilation album brand from Circa records (trading under the 'strategic marketing' brand name of EMI/Virgin Records). Usually the album's title is made of the main title, genre and maybe issue number (so albums would include The Best Ibiza Album in the World...Ever!, The Best Rock Album in the World...Ever! etc), however on a number of indie music collections the genre aspect was replaced by a full list of artist names. Due to this these were just normally listed as The Best Album in the World...Ever!

[edit] The Best Funk Album in the World...Ever!
This is a double tape of CD compilation of 70s funk and blaxplotation soundtrack music. The album is a de facto follow up to the EMI/Virgin release Superfunk though it was decided to list the album under the stronger Best..Ever brand name.
The concept of the album is similar to the Harmless collections and to BMG Global TV's Blaxplotation album series.
