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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just For Casual Fans!, June 13, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best of Barry White: 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection (Audio CD)

The late Barry White was the one voice that is easily recognizable in the early 1970s. Just when disco was spawned, he became well-known not just for the R & B audiences but for the pop mainstream. Thus, the songs that are included during his early days were big hits. Obviously, the one notable track missing is "You're My First, My Last, My Everything". I'm wondering why?

However, what makes this collection an "original" compared to previous hit collections is his last two songs: "Practice What You Preach" and "Staying Power". Getting those two songs would be worth it for the casual fan.

Brief liner notes and pictures are included.

This review is from: The Best of Barry White: 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection (Audio CD)

As a disc that dips into the long career of the late Mr. White, this is a good compilation. However, the disc would've fared better if instead of "Oh, What A Night for Dancing", White's remake of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" would have been included.

That one track would have made this a must-have for the casual or the die-hard White fan.
