After six studio albums, three of which are Platinum and two Gold, the time is ripe for The Whitlams' "Best of".

Released on August 2, 2008 through Warner Music, ‘Truth, Beauty & A Picture of You – The Best of The Whitlams’ is a comprehensive look at the amazing journey of the ARIA award winning band, from scrappy beginnings and tragedy to the success and stability of

recent years.

Tim Freedman describes: "It's a mixture of the popular and the narrative. I decided to leave a few singles off because I wanted to tell the story of The Whitlams, and include more early songs and songs that describe the dramas in our history."

A premium edition will include a DVD with documentaries on the making of the "Love This City" and "Torch the Moon", and footage of their concerts at the Sydney Opera House last year with the Sydney Symphony.
