Product Details

In celebration of 25 years as a band, Third Eye Blind is releasing the bands 2006 greatest hits compilation, A COLLECTION, as a double LP. Available on vinyl for the first time, the sets 19-tracks were selected from the alt-rockers first three studio albums (1997-2003) and includes their biggest singles mixed with a few rarities and fan favorites.

The first side of A COLLECTION brings together all five singles from the album, including Hows It Going To Be, Graduate, and Semi-Charmed Life, the bands highest-charting single. Released in July 1997, that song topped the Modern Rock chart (#4 Pop) in August. Later that year, the single was certified gold, and the Billboard Music Awards named it the Modern Rock Track of the Year.

Jumper is another essential track from the debut featured on A COLLECTION. Not only is it one of the bands biggest songs (it peaked at #5), but its also embraced as an anti-bullying anthem, especially in the LGBTQ community. Frontman Stephan Jenkins originally wrote the song about a friends suicide, which led the band to become vocal supporters of suicide prevention.

The bands second and third albums BLUE (1999) and OUT OF THE VEIN (2003) contribute ten songs to A COLLECTION. Standouts include the Top 20 hit Never Let You Go and the singles 10 Days Late and Blinded (When I See You). The set also delivers deep cuts with Wounded, God Of Wine, and the version of Slow Motion that has lyrics. Rounding out the set is a selection of rarities, including Tattoo Of The Sun, the B-side of Semi-Charmed Life, and My Time In Exile, which appeared on the Japanese version of Out of the Vein.
