From my experience the bulk of "best of' compilations go for quantity over quality. Too many tracks per side, thus compressed. My general rule of thumb is - at least on vinyl - stay away from artist comps.

How are 'Best Of' compilation albums mastered?
Most of us have at least one 'Best Of' compilation albums on vinyl and the quality varies from abysmal to superb (Elvis 30 #1 Hits).
It's hard to imagine any of these being cut from the original Master Tapes....but how many 'dub' generations away from the Master is it usual to get?
And how are they assembled?
