Review: FORMAT: CD UPC: 7-314-522459-2-2 RELEASED: 1994-06-07ARTIST: Barry White / Love Unlimited OrchestraTITLE: Barry White: All-Time Greatest HitsLABEL: Mercury (Polygram)TRACKS: 20 ⢠DURATION: 1:17:37 I don't normally write reviews of music CDs â but, this CD is a fine example of why one should ALWAYS perform their due diligence when buying "Greatest Hits" compilations. Very soon after I received this CD in the mail, I eagerly placed it in my CD player (and, yes, I do still have one of those), with the expectation of filling my room with the glorious sounds of Barry White. However, somewhere in the middle of the third track, I could no longer fight the feeling that something was VERY wrong! The second track ("I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby") didn't sound the way I remembered it sounding, and neither did the third ("I've Got So Much To Give"). At this point I did some research, and found that the track-length specifications for 15 of the 20 listed songs were significantly SHORTER in this compilation than they were in their originally released album versions! (And, three of the songs [at least, according their listed run-times] were slightly LONGER [each, by a few seconds] than they were when they were originally released!) Nowhere on the reproduction of the CD's front and back covers on Amazon's website does it indicate that the included songs are NOT the full original versions â however, to Amazon's credit, in the listing of the tracks in the "Sample this Album" section, three tracks ("I've Got So Much To Give", "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me" and "Playing Your Game, Baby") are listed as "Single Version", and three others ("I'm Qualified To Satisfy You", "Oh What A Night For Dancing" and "Your Sweetness Is My Weakness") are listed as "Edit". Still, that leaves NINE other songs with no indication whatsoever that they are shortened versions of the original songs! Now, don't get me wrong: all of the songs presented here, even in their shortened versions, still sound good â it's just that I wanted the original, longer, versions that I grew up listening to. However, since there is nothing physically wrong with the disc (that, and the fact that the ONLY "real" mistake that was made was mine for NOT checking more closely BEFORE I made the purchase), I'm going to keep it. Oh well, live and learn. NOTE: I'm including the following list of songs on this disc, each with its associated track-length, and its associated track-length upon its initial album release â so that others, hopefully, wont make my same mistake. ## ⢠SONG TITLE ⢠LENGTH ON THIS DISC ⢠ORIGINAL RELEASE LENGTH (DIFFERENCE IN LENGTH) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 ⢠Love's Theme ⢠4:11 ⢠4:06 (+5 Seconds) 02 ⢠I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby ⢠4:02 ⢠7:12 (-3:10) 03 ⢠I've Got So Much To Give ⢠5:21 ⢠8:14 (-2:53) 04 ⢠Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up ⢠4:10 ⢠7:56 (-3:46) 05 ⢠Honey Please, Can't Ya See ⢠3:17 ⢠5:15 (-1:58) 06 ⢠Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe ⢠3:55 ⢠4:34 (-39 Seconds) 07 ⢠You're The First, The Last, My Everything ⢠3:28 ⢠4:36 (-1:08) 08 ⢠What Am I Gonna Do With You ⢠3:38 ⢠3:39 (-1 Second) 09 ⢠I'll Do For You Anything You Want Me To ⢠4:14 ⢠6:13 (-1:59) 10 ⢠Let The Music Play ⢠3:34 ⢠6:16 (-2:42) 11 ⢠You See The Trouble With Me ⢠3:24 ⢠3:29 (-5 Seconds) 12 ⢠Baby We Better Try To Get It Together ⢠4:30 ⢠4:25 (+5 Seconds) 13 ⢠Don't Make Me Wait Too Long ⢠3:24 ⢠4:42 (-1:18) 14 ⢠I'm Qualified To Satisfy You ⢠3:12 ⢠4:27 (-1:15) 15 ⢠It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me ⢠3:28 ⢠7:00 (-3:32) 16 ⢠Playing Your Game, Baby ⢠3:39 ⢠7:12 (-3:33) 17 ⢠Oh What A Night For Dancing ⢠3:18 ⢠3:48 (-30 Seconds) 18 ⢠Your Sweetness Is My Weakness ⢠4:15 ⢠8:04 (-3:49) 19 ⢠Just The Way You Are ⢠4:13 ⢠7:09 (-2:56) 20 ⢠Satin Soul ⢠4:13 ⢠4:10 (+3 Seconds) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AUDIO: All songs are well-recorded stereo mixes, that present the music fairly well in regards to both frequency response and spatial imaging â though, as is the case with the VAST majority of songs in popular music, the bass isn't very deep and the dynamic range is fairly compressed.EXTRAS: A nice 10-page booklet, featuring a few photographs of Barry White; and, an essay by David Ritz entitled "The Maestro".

Title: Excellent overall for $5
Review: Although I've seen other reviews complain about the sound quality, I think it's a great compilation overall for the minimal price charged. If you want a digitally remastered CD, it's typically going to cost more than $5.The only song I wish wasn't on there is I Love You Just the Way You Are (Billy Joel). Something else would've been better in it's place.
