Background
Greatest Hits 2 was released on CD , digital download and in a gatefold double-vinyl edition. The songs were re-mastered to vinyl by Robert Hadley and former lead singer of Journey, Steve Perry . Perry said of the mastering: "I truly forgot how sonically exciting and just plain better these Journey tracks sound back where they originally lived...on vinyl. The stereo separation, the center imaging and the sonic depth of the tracks themselves is more true to what we all loved about these original final mixes. All the instruments and voices, to me personally, sound so damn good that all I want to do is reach for the volume and turn it up!".
The album was supposed to include "The Eyes of a Woman" but by request by lead guitarist Neal Schon , it was replaced by "Little Girl". Neal Schon's father, jazz musician Matthew Schon worked with the band on "Little Girl".
