You can not fit all of Marvin's hits on a single CD but this collection has most of the essentials. From a British perspective, one advantage thatthis has over the double CD (Very best of, Which was compiled in America but released in Both the UK and USA) Is that it includes three UK Top Ten hits That Are Not on the double CD, thesis being Onion Song (supposedly with Tammi Terrell, though Tammi was too ill to record the song and a sound-alike substituiertem), You Are Everything (with Diana Ross) and Abraham Martin and John (Best thing and an American hit for Smokey Robinson The Miracles, not Marvin Gaye). There is no room on this CD to explore Marvin's career in depth, but it does contain all of his important British hits (some minor hits havebeen omitted) and on fact-based, It provides an excellent overview of Marvin's career. Nevertheless, before buying this, you may wish to compare it with the double CD, Very best of.
