4.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection save for a few omissions, March 14, 2009

Okay, I am a big Michael Jackson fan, but how could "I'll Be There" and "Dancing Machine" not be on this?! Save for that, this woul've been a five star item. It is wonderful to hear the evolution of MJ's voice throughout the entire collection. My CD skips as well on the second disk around the song "Dangerous." Must be a manufacturing issue. This is a must-have if you are a long-time Jackson fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I found it, May 9, 2010

This review is from: The Essential 3.0 Michael Jackson (Eco-Friendly Packaging) (Audio CD)

I found this CD a week before Michael Jackson died and thought "oh, sweet deal. But I will wait to buy it later." Well after MJ died this CD was no where to be found! I searched high and low and gave up when this became available, I was so excited! I love this CD, you couldn't ask for a better quality compilation (especially including songs never before used from Dangerous such as In the Closet and Remember the Time). Now yes, there are a few songs missing like Dancing Machine and Never Can Say Goodbye. But this is as close to perfect as they have gotten :).

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect, November 28, 2009

This review is from: The Essential 3.0 Michael Jackson (Eco-Friendly Packaging) (Audio CD)

For someone who enjoys Michael Jackson's music, but isn't a diehard fan, this is a perfect way to get your MJ collection started. Almost every Michael Jackson song from his career (ranging from The Jackson 5 days to his last album "Invincible") is found here. There are a few MJ hits that should have been included, but the songs that are on here are definitely excellent!
