"This CD contains some of Cross' hits but before buying this check out the digitally remastered "The Definitive Christopher Cross". It contains nineteen songs, seven of which were top hits, and also includes "A Chance for Heaven" written for the '84 Olympics. If you're a Christopher Cross fan (and who isn't) TDCC is the ultimate collection to date. For further info check out my review on TDCC."
Where is the American counterpart?

"This release gets 4 stars simply because there has been no effort on the part of Warner Bros. to put together ANY kind of Christopher CRoss compilation! What is with these Neanderthals?! Even Leif Garrett has a compilation CD out, for God's sake... That said, the most essential songs are here: "Sailing," "Ride Like The Wind," Arthur's Theme" and "All Right." But why include "Words Of Wisdom" (From Another Page) when it was never even released as a single? And why put "Love Is Love" on the collection but leave off "Never Be The Same," a top 10 hit single? A definitive (HINT: 2 disc) compilation would include "Think Of Laura," "A Chance At Heaven" (recorded for the 1984 Olympics tribute album) and "The Best Christmas" (1990), as well as several worthwhile songs from his latest releases. Here's hoping this will happen during my lifetime! Until then, this release is well worth the extra cost of admission!"
Great songs

"i've always dug the mellow tone and groove of Christopher Cross. this collection is the kind of music i can listen to on a Mellow day or weekend. Sailing is a tight laid back track. Ride like the Wind is the kind of track that is a feel good energy type of jam. Michael Mcdonald on the Hook sounds tight. Arhtur's theme is a nice song and I still dig that film. Say You'll be Mine is a good cut as well. Christopher Cross has a strong blend of mid tempo cuts that hold up very well after all of these years."
Great songs and beautiful voice @}->---

"Christopher Cross is an old favourite of mine. I love his voice and his music (even though it now has a date sound). This collection is really good (although in my opinion it isn't complete - hence the four stars only - it's missing Swept Away and I Will).
My favourite songs here are Arthurs Theme, Any Old Time, Ride Like The Wind and Sailing. They are fantastic songs and I still play them on my iPod all the time. He's got such a unique sound that when you hear his voice, you know exactly who's singing.
These songs are all great and apart from the two I think are missing, this really is a collection of the Best of his work. I really love this cd."
Good Set
