This album contains compilation of songs by the American folk rock AMERICA trio. The songs were recorded from 1971 to 1975. It was first released in December of 1975. The cover artwork of America's Greatest Hits History album is a cartoon drawing of the three main vocals of the band. The sketches were created by actor-comedian Phil Hartman.

America's Greatest Hits History became a real big hit in United States. It reached #3 of the Billboard album charts which was also certified by the RIAA as a multi-platinum album. I definitely love this album

I bought this album about 10 years ago. I know every line of all the songs' lyrics. I play it once in a while and the songs still capture my heart. I first heard of its songs when I was still a kid and the album was not yet in CD type. It was in a long-playing album that my uncle bought which he played almost daily on our old stereo player.

America's Greatest Hits History is a great album. It's good to hear good old music that intricately plays acoustic guitars and with soft vocals. The songs of the band 'America' hold memories of my childhood as they were very popular at that time. Until now, the songs still haven't lost their spark to many people's hearts. I am actually recommending this album. If you haven't included this album in your collection, you must be missing a very good music.
