2.0 out of 5 stars Dont Lose Your Money: This is not an Honest Hit Repackage, March 25, 2000

Why does American Sony repackage the same songs with different covers and offer some few tracks to attract buyers? I do not take it as honest as a market strategy should be. Browse back to Mathis originals and buy other CDs: "Johnny Greatest Hits", "Johnny" are good bets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost the Ultimate., April 15, 2006

I was first turned onto Johnny Mathis through his excellent Christmas album, and decided I needed to hear him more than one month a year. I went with this because I only wanted a single disc collection, yet one that had a lengthy tracklist (although this clocks in at only 58 minutes and should have been a 25 song disc). Even as a casual fan I could pick songs to fill another CD, but what's here belongs, and overall I'm vary happy with it. It's in chronological order, hence the first dozen songs are truly classic. Among the last third of the collection I like the "Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet" and the upbeat "Brazil", yet don't care for "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late". That duet is too 80's. There's many other collections of course, older and newer, but "Chances Are" you'll enjoy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars How many times can this stuff be repackaged?, November 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Ultimate Hits Collection (Audio CD)

Sure, the music is great, and it's great to finally hear the 1986 "Brazil." Unfortunately, this stuff has appeared in so many compilations that it's not necessary. And every time a new album comes out the price goes up! Please Columbia, the masters of repackaging repackaged material, let Johnny make new albums.
