Greatest Hits (or Cardiacs Greatest Hits) is a compilation album by the English rock band Cardiacs, released on 22 February 2002.
The album is amusingly titled as it lacks many better-known songs including their biggest hit "Is This the Life".
Greatest Hits features one new and otherwise unavailable track, called "Faster Than Snakes With a Ball and a Chain". This is described as having been taken from the then-forthcoming and as-yet untitled album that was to follow Greatest Hits, the creation of which has evidently been abandoned by the band (not to be mistaken for LSD, a later album left in a similar incomplete state.)
Release
On 22 February 2002, the Alphabet Business Concern released Greatest Hits through CD, distributed by Plastic Head Distribution (PHD). The Cardiacs website announced its release on 2 April.
Critical reception
In a retrospective review of On Land and in the Sea (1989), Nick Reed of The Quietus highlighted the Greatest Hits track "Faster Than Snakes With a Ball and a Chain" as "excellent".
