This is the pinnacle of all collections of BJ Thomas' greatest hits. All people out there who consider themselves BJ Thomas fans should include this in their personal collection!

I am enjoying this CD as I type this information. An excellent CD, at a more than excellent price. I really take pleasure in listening to the soothing voice, and music of B.J. Thomas.

This B J Thomas offering-Classics-the one pictured above- is not the Gusto recording. The previous reviewer made a mistake. I too purchased the other set-and the synthesized horns were a tip off. I returned mine to the discount store for a refund. However, this is the real deal (a real photo is used.) It may be a bargain cd-but it is the real deal. Don't be put off by the mistaken reviewer above.

Sorry to contradict the two other glowing reviews, but these are RE-RECORDINGS of his original hits. I picked this up back in the vinyl days in a bargain bin, and while Thomas is in good voice throughout, re-makes can NEVER conjure up the magic of the original hit recordings. The "Gusto" label that released this, among other "hits" collections, (including a Gary Lewis & The Playboys best of that also fooled me at first) is/was notorious for such deceptions. No reason to buy this as long as the genuine Scepter/Decca hits collections are available. By the way, when will a REALLY COMPLETE B.J. Thomas anthology be released? All the ones I've seen miss at least a few songs. Maybe the people that put out those two-disc "GOLD" sets could give it a shot?
