The Hits 1969–1984
''The Hits 1969–1984'' is a compilation album by Sherbet released in March 1984. It contains no songs they recorded as "The Sherbs", which was the name the band used from 1980 through 1983—nor, despite the title, does it include any recordings from as early as 1969. Instead, this compilation concentrates solely on presenting the group's hits recorded as Sherbet between 1971 and 1978, alongside one new Sherbet track from 1984 entitled "Tonight Will Last Forever".
