The sad fact is that about half the Sherman Brothers' musical legacy is not controlled by Disney, and Disney apparently doesn't give enough of a toot to put some money behind a *real* retrospective that includes that stuff. The dang thing doesn't even include "You're Sixteen," which was their biggest hit. God forbid we give a few cents to EMI to include their biggest hit.
