The Number 1's series is a brand-new line of CDs featuring #1 radio hits from the biggest names in music. This collection includes decade compilations as well as individual artist CDs and is being released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered.UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid compilation, August 10, 2007

While I'm sure a lot of us are tired of the sheer number of compilations out there, this is nonetheless a very solid one. For anyone who just wants to pick up a lot of Marvin Gaye's best songs in a single compilation, this is great. The song selection is very wonderful, the recordings come across as very smooth and clear, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're interested in something different, like the evolution of the artist, more obscure tunes, or just a genuine album released when Marvin Gaye was still alive, this is not it.

This is definitely the compilation I would recommend to newcomers. It's a great way to introduce yourself to some of the very best songs that Marvin Gaye recorded in the 60's and 70's. No filler. Listen and become a fan for life. It's wonderful even for an already converted fan as myself.
