For some reason, all of Three Dog Night's LPs had catalog numbers ending in 8, starting with <i>One</i> (50048) and ending with <i>Joy to the World: Their Greatest Hits</i> (50178). (The alleged <i>Dog Style</i> LP, supposedly issued as 50198, has never actually materialized anywhere I know of.) Dunhill did some very odd things.

What a great record. And Charles, I know we've discussed this before, but I still find it amusing that those old Dunhill artists all managed to have "16 Greatest Hits."

I tend to be appreciative of efforts to come up with synonyms that don't seem utterly pretentious (<i>cf.</i> Emerson, Lake and Palmer's <i>Works</i>).
