Editorial Reviews

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-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. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

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®. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This review is from: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Rick James (Eco-Friendly Packaging) (Audio CD)

Rick James is truly Missed. Man the Brother was Soulful and a down to earth Soul Brother. He whipped on that Purple Elf,but the Elf got all the glory,but he couldn't hang with no Rick James. Rick James never threaten any of his fan sites or sued fans,etc.... Rick Brought the funk and the fans loved it and still do. Mary Jane is still so fly. give it to me baby,dance wit me, cold blooded, and so many other jams on here that speak on the Greatness that is Rick James's music. Rick always kept it real and never went out like a turkey. strong songwriter, Producer,arranger and opera style vocals that still hit home. Rick was a powerful stylish Musical Icon and left so many timeless songs. the Brother is Missed big time.

From listening to the CD, I have to say that this is a very good collection of some of Rick James best songs, including "Give It To Me Baby", "Mary Jane", "Super Freak" anong others.

Any fan of Rick James should get theis CD because he's Rick James.
