Greatest hits packages are not designed for the hardcore fan, the person who owns all the artist's albums, nor the fan of albums in general. There are undoubtably great, in some cases superior songs dwelling on the albums these songs are culled from, waiting to be discovered by the adventurous, buck-a-song downloader who is willing to drop a few extra clams for the album experience.
Greatest hits are usually exactly that: the best selling singles from an artists career bundled together at a low price for the casual fan. This and vol.1 together are a great start to discovering your favorite "deep cuts" like "Traffic Jam", or "Gaia" (two of my faves).
I'm going to buy an extra copy and send it to James Blunt.
Greatest Hits 1 has been a best seller since the mid 1970s. It is a truly amazing artist who can have a greatest hits album so early in his career anyway. Greatest Hits 1 is a must-have. Greatest Hits 2, along with "Very Best of James Taylor," is another great album. It gives you some of the best songs from albums introduced after Greatest Hits 1 was released, but I do not know how they managed to narrow down this list of songs. Mr. Taylor really needs a Greatest Hits 3 and 4. Good buy.
