Better than any 'Best Of' album they have. The 'hits' are on it of course but it also has a great deal of the other finest cuts from the albums. I played this during a 2 hour car journey I had with my mother (Barry Manilow was her cup of tea). To my surprise she really liked it. The wonders of music never cease.
