This Collection covers Leo's hits of the 70's and early 80's nicely. All the hits are here including one of the best Ballads of the 70's, "When I Need You", and "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing", both #1 hits and the #9 hit "Long Tall Glasses"(I Can Dance) Also included, in this fine Collection, is Leo's 2 cover hits, "Raining in My Heart", a Buddy Holly tune, and "More Than I Can Say, 2 quality reworkings. Other stand-out songs include the hit "How Much Love and "Living in a Fantasy and finally "Endless Light" This is the Collection to buy of Leo's work.

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.
