1998 Toto XX: 1977-1997
Toto XX: 1977-1997 is a compilation album by Toto to celebrate their 20th anniversary. The album features rare original demos, outtakes, previously unreleased recordings and live tracks from the band’s 20-year career.
Although not technically a studio album, Toto XX is counted as being a part of the band’s core catalog of albums. Thus, despite being their 13th studio album, Toto XIV was named as if it were their 14th album.

Some real gems on here, especially the first two tracks (and live stuff at the end). I still can’t believe that “Tale of a man” didn’t make it onto an album; it has become one of my all-time favourites.

Going Home is a classic tune. I heard Tale Of A Man before, they played it live on their first tours, I was happy to see it on the XX album!
