"It's not that this album is bad, in fact all 10 songs are good. But what was the point? All are previously issued studio versions of songs from albums that are already in print. And though hits "Lido Shuffle" and "Lowdown" are there, it's in no way a "best of" collection - the remaining songs are album tracks or very minor hits. Three tracks are from Slow Dancer (1974), two are from Silk Degrees (1976), three are from Down Two Then Left (1977), and two are from Other Roads (1988), yet 1980's Middle Man is not represented at all for some reason. If you want a low-priced compilation, spring for the much more representative Hits!, and if you want a more extensive overview, buy the My Time anthology."
