Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 26.8.

Tracklist is different from what's shown. A great 2CD set anyway. When I'm with friends I just put the CD in the tray and I have a good time. Filled with enduring classics and some lesser-known material that isn't filler in any way. One of the really good compilations in general. If I had to make a comparision, it's BA's '1962-66 & 1967-70'.
