Boogaloo (1998) Greatest Hits Volume II (1998) Live at the Beeb (1998)

In the mid-1990s Nazareth's back-catalogue was remastered. The record label, Castle Communications, took the opportunity afforded and requested that a new album be compiled: Greatest Hits Volume 2 (Essential ESMCD 597). This was to be a CD-only release and would cover the period from the release of the band's tenth studio album No Mean City (inclusive) onwards.

The artwork was designed to complement that of the original vinyl Greatest Hits, which was also included in the remaster-programme.

Due to the timing-considerations impressed on the contemporary remaster of the live album Snaz - the record label would not consider producing a 2CD set - six tracks were edited from it. So as to make good at least part of the loss, Rob Corich, who was doing the remastering, included three of them on Greatest Hits Volume 2.

Additionally, for a variety of reasons, not all the later studio albums were included in this original remaster-programme and so Greatest Hits Volume 2 was the only opportunity afforded to fans to have at least some of the songs in remastered form. Later the remastered albums were reissued and the range expanded with the addition of the remaining studio albums (including a 2CD of Snaz).
