1.0 out of 5 stars Extra Creamy Macaroni, June 5, 2003

By 

Pat Kelly (Here, There & Everywhere) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Essentials (Audio CD)

A well-known company that makes a popular brand of Macaroni & Cheese also sells a product that they "craftily" call "Extra Cheesy Macaroni & Cheese" at a higher price. What makes it extra cheesy? They include the same amount of cheese but fewer noodles. You are paying more, getting less.

The same is true here.

The same excellent record company, Rhino, has all the same tracks as on the Leo Sayer Essentials disc and four extras on a lower priced CD.

That CD is "The Very Best of Leo Sayer" (search Amazon for B000046PVJ - it'll take you right there). The extra tracks aren't filler either. There's his top ten UK hit "Moonlighting", the original version of the recent Phil Collins hit "Can't Stop Loving You" and the original of "Giving It All Away" later a hit for Roger Daltrey.

So save a buck and get more tracks. You can use your savings to buy more Mac & Cheese.
