I bought this CD just Today, initially attracted by the CD Insert Photo (attractive), despite having owned "Best of" which has all but One Song here. I noticed the Year (1999) of release, and decided the Sound might be an improvement on My Older Disc. There are only 8 songs on this CD ("Best of" doubles that), but the best of the best are here, and besides, I sometimes have a problem with longer Discs...That is, My listening attention is usually 30 to 50 minutes at a time, at least for any ONE Cd, so I'm usually programming the CD to that time range, and playing the best cuts anyway. With that in mind, I figured I could play this CD straight through without lifting the Laser, which I did this afternoon. My one worry was that they might drop the "single" version of "Respect Yourself" in here (which loses the "doo wop" refrain in the middle, and is inferior), but fortunately the whole Song is intact, and, Yes, I noticed improved, fuller sound...in Summary, a Gamble that paid off...Now, if we can only get a Staples Compilation with "Let's do it Again" added, that would be the Bomb!!!

If you're looking at this you already know how good the Staples are. My only fault is the number of cuts. There are more "Greats" that could have been included

RIP TO POPS STAPLES What a Great Musician&Together Man.The Staple Singers are a very Important&Influential group."I'll Take You There" is a Classic as are the Other Songs here.The Voices&Music here are a must.Classic&Timeless Music.
