The Best Imitation Of Myself: A Retrospective

Ben Folds’ The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective, the long-awaited career-spanning anthology chronicling the musical adventures of pop s quintessential post-modern singer-songwriter-pianist.

The most comprehensive and definitive Ben Folds collection ever assembled, and first-ever domestic overview of Folds’ music, The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective is remastered from original master tapes, bringing together Ben s biggest hits, previously unreleased material and a newly recorded Ben Folds Five track.

Available as a double LP on high quality vinyl, The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective features liner notes and track-by-track song annotations by Ben Folds.

A perfect point of entry for newcomers as well as a treasure trove for the initiated, the double LP is a carefully curated 18-track distillation of the essence of two decades of Ben Folds music, from the break-out hits "Underground" and "Brick" with Ben Folds Five through solo work and unexpected collaborations ranging from "You Don t Know Me" with Regina Spektor to "From Above" (with lyrics by Nick Hornby, author of "High Fidelity"). Pointing to the future, side Four closes with "House," a brand new Ben Folds Five song recorded especially for the retrospective.
