I had to vote for ANORAK though REEL TO REEL is coming close to it ( this said by a Fan rather of the H-aera ! ).

<<I really can't make up my mind between Real to Reel and Made Again, it's a crazy choice to make because both of them contain my favorite H-era and Fish-era albums as a second disc! Tough choice! Plus I haven't heard Anorak Live so I won't vote.>>

That's too bad because Anorak is a great live disc. So much energy..

<<I'll pick it up then.>>

If you can, order the 2 disc from Racket rather than the 1 CD retail version. The only song that the 1CD version has that's not on the 2CD version is "Easter". Great song, but it's on Made Again and practically every FRC release.

The Thieving Magpie is OK. R2R was overdubbed like crazy, however. It's practically a studio album.

Made Again is good. I only wish the track listing took more chances on the first disc. Still, having Brave Live for the second disc was a brilliant move.

As far as quality, sound, song selection, energy, etc., I had to go with Anorak (especially the 2CD Racket version). The fellas were spot on with this performance. I know Fish fans will go with the first two; however, Anorak really is a quality release.

ps. I put 'other' because of the FRC. A few are just as good as the official releases (especially the London Forum, Lausanne, and Sao Paulo recordings).
