From the voice that launched a thousand imitators, Garth Brooks's THE LIMITED SERIES is a truly special way of saying thanks to the legions of fans who put him where he is. Intended for the true Brooks completist, THE LIMITED SERIES contains the full content of his first six album, with the added bonus of six previously unreleased tracks, recorded along the way. The collection starts at the very beginning, with the self titled album which put Brooks on the map. It is followed by NO FENCES, the best selling country album of all time, with such blockbusters as "Two Of A Kind, Working On A Full House" and the ubiquitous anthem, "Friends In Low Places." ROPIN THE WIND, another essential volume of the canon, proved once and for all the universality of Brooks's music (it was the first country album to debut at #1 of the Pop charts, no small feat even for Country's reigning king). In total, THE LIMITED SERIES boasts no fewer than twenty #1 country hits from the man who started it all; the set includes a 48 page book outlining in even further detail the history of one of Country music's true modern legends. minimize
