Product Description

Welcome to the Playlist series. We've fished through hundreds of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits, but...the life-changing songs. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artists who they are. You'll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD, unlike the compromised sound of an MP3 file.

You might also like the fact that the packages are environmentally-friendly (no plastic, 100% recycled paper). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did. This package has been created with the environment in mind. All of the paperboard is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. Of course, we would prefer that you not throw this package or CD away. We would prefer that you keep it in your collection to enjoy for many years to come! Full liner notes, photos, and more included as a PDF file on this CD. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect collection - Amazing price!!, April 4, 2009

What an amazing treat this release is. There is no other artist that can take a song and make it his own with intense emotional readings and a vocal range that soars and has no limits like Clay Aiken. He has released some albums that display his true gift and versatility but as with any artist there are always standouts on each release.

Here we are given the very best of Clay Aiken and combined it produces a track list that is perfection. The greatest addition is his spellbinding rendition of BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS which before was only available as a single. To have that together with SOLITAIRE, THIS IS THE NIGHT and ON THE WINGS OF LOVE is amazing. Listening to a collection like this that spans all the years of his career shows strongly that he has only gotten better over time. The later tracks like ASHES, ON MY WAY HERE and THE REAL ME display the true musical craftsman Clay is as he makes each song a true emotional journey. And one of my favorites MEASURE OF A MAN is here as well.

I think that creating this PLAYLIST SERIES which will provide the greatest hits and best tracks of artists at a great price is a wonderful idea. If you were to download all these songs from their various sources and put them on an ipod or even a disc the clarity of each source would vary. Here we get all the tracks digitally remastered superbly for the greatest listening experience possible. This cd is a must have for all Clay Aiken fans but it also serves as a great introduction to anyone who wants to explore his music. I also highly recommend this cd to anyone who values true quality music for few artists possess the musical talent and interpretive skills of Clay Aiken.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection!, April 1, 2009

By	sly1074 (San Ramon, CA) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful mix of favorites that showcases Clay's magnificent voice, and that both established fans and casual listeners will enjoy. The sound quality is excellent and makes me wish all of his albums could be re-mastered!

5.0 out of 5 stars Walk down Memory Lane, April 2, 2009

By	Coping in California (San Diego, Ca USA) - See all my reviews

Nicely remastered. Sound is great, especially on the quiet songs like The Real Me and Something About Us. A great Walk Down Memory Lane for fans, a terrific best of to give a new fan or someone you would like to introduce Clay Aiken to. What a wonderful voice from someone so young. On the Wings of Love was recorded in 2003 when he was only 25!
