Greatest Hits was intended to be an inexperienced band's studio exercise, but when a muse mentioned "Hey!... you might have something there" after hearing our three-song "Canadian Dream" demo, the band decided to complete the project in the spring 1987 at E-Norm-Us studios in Scarborough, alongside engineer Tom Atom. When "The Ballad of Wendel Clark, Parts 1 and 2" garnered favourable notices for its inclusion on the "For No Apparent Reason" (X Records) compilation, we embarked on our first Canadian tour that summer and returned in the fall for the wintertime release of the album. The initial run of 1,000 sold-out over the course of a year, but thanks to thousands of inquiries from Green Sprouts across the country, it was decided that Greatest Hits would be relaunched. A remastered version of each track with the original artwork and liner notes intact, Greatest Hits is a glimpse into the early RheoCavern; a backwards kaleidoscope reflecting the burgeoning days of Canadian Shield Rock.
