Disc one examines their first half of the 1970s, taking in UK top ten hits Broken Down Angel and Bad Bad Boy along with the massive ballad Love Hurts, which reached the US top ten in 1975 before going on to be featured in dozens of films since, including Wayne's World, This Is Spinal Tap, The Full Monty and High Fidelity. The second disc covers selections from five studio albums from 1976 to 1981, and brings in more hits, among them May The Sunshine. Disc three continues the story through the 80s, 90s and into the twenty-first century, showcasing two tracks from the final album recorded with longtime lead singer Dan McCafferty in 2014. For fans, The Ultimate Collection is an excellent precis of Nazareth's brilliant career. For those coming to the band for the first time, this is the best place to start.
