At the price of a single CD, you get three hours of some of the best music from one of the 20th Century's most popular and talented artists. Since the release (and subsequesnt re-release) of 1990's terrific box set TO BE CONTINUED, Elton John has hit the U.S. Top 40 twelve more times. All but four of those are included here, including the No. 1 duet with George Michael on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" (included on the bonus disc), through 1999's duet with LeAnn Rimes on "Written in the Stars" from ELTON JOHN AND TIM RICE'S "AIDA." The only really glaring omission is his 1997 remake of "Candle in the Wind." However, I confess I much prefer the version included here from his 1987 album ELTON JOHN LIVE IN AUSTRALIA. In addition the 40-page booklet is filled with photos, liner notes by biographer Paul Gambaccini, and a complete pictoral album discography. So if you're looking to update the box set (like me), or simply waiting for a more economic greatest hits package that cherry picks the hits from the past thirty years, this album will not disappoint. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you're reading this is because you are probably familiar with most of Elton John's songs in this record: they are listed, they are hits and as far as I remember nothing very important was missed. My personal opinion is that the songs are GREAT! One after the other for the 45 songs spread in the 3 CDs.
There's something else, that is worth mentioning: the book inside. It contains Elton's history, since the 70's, summarized into a dozen pages full with interesting stories!
Did you know that in the early 70's Elton and Bernie released two albums a year? That they had fifteen hit albums from 1970-76, including 7 consecutive US number ones? And that one of these number ones was a double album? Interesting, at least!!
The book inside is definitely one more reason to buy the album.
I got the feeling that I have all the essential. In one buy.
I wish the same will be done for other artists...

70s good, 80s/90s bad
To sum Elton John up so simply may seem unfair, however this is the first ever Elton John record ive ever bought and it does sum up 1970-2002 quite adequately. Read more
