3.0 out of 5 stars Quite a lot missing, September 3, 2000

This is hardly Glens 20 Greatest Hits - and is a bit of a shameless repackaging. There are more than 3 instrumental tracks and two recorded live, which do take away from the quality of this album. Considering that he has had over 30 albums released and has a huge range of talents, one feels that this compilation was put together by someone, who knows very little about the man and his music. Still a reasonable album, the reproduction quality of some of the tracks also lets it down. To be fair, I have found a better selection of Glens music on bargain basement cd's in this past,. With todays technology, and availabilty - this should have been better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really the best title for this collection..., August 19, 2000

If memory serves me correctly, only about 7 of the 20 tracks on this "20 Greatest Hits" collection were actually hits for Campbell either on the pop, country or easy listening charts. If you're looking for a really good hits collection by Campbell, I recommend (with reservations) "The Very Best of Glen Campbell" on Capitol or "The Glen Campbell Collection" on Razor and Tie. The Capitol disc is a great compilation but was remastered long before the Razor and Tie collection. The R&T disc sounds better and, being a two-disc set (and that's the only way to get a comprehensive collection of Campbell's hits) offers a much wider selection of material. Still, Campbell is a very versatile performer and turns in fine performances on all the tracks included on "20 Greatest" whether or not they were among his "hits".

4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying compilation from pop-country music master, May 28, 2000

There are many greatest hits compilations for Glen Campbell and this newest one is one of the best. It includes all the essential hits -"Galveston," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Gentle On My Mind," "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Southern Nights," and "Wichita Lineman." And it also includes some interesting choices for other hits. Three instrumental pieces are included as well as some not-so-big hits that are cause for question of the title of this album. For example, instead of including "Let It Be Me," or "All I Have To Do is Dream," with Bobbie Gentry, "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" is included. It's nice, although, that different 'greatest hits' are included. I suppose, however, that any more than this and a second CD would have to be added (like "The Glen Campbell Anthology"), but it would be nicer if this package included EVERYTHING.
