Greatest Hits chronicles the remarkable journey of Mr Robert
Williams, from being the "fat dancer from Take That" (c. Noel Gallagher)
to the multi-million pound jewel in EMI’s crown. Assembled in
chronological order, all the hits are here, except for his initial solo

Formally extricated from the grubbiness of the music industry--her
farewell speeches eluded to cesspools, no less--and now officially
retired from songwriting, "Dreamland" is a valedictory glance back at

Galore is a collection of cuts from MacColl's fine first solo
album, Kite, and its patchy successor, Electric Landlady,
filled out with earlier singles, duets and collaborations. It's no less
than MacColl deserves, on balance--though employed to the point of
ubiquity as a backing vocalist, she... |

My Own Best Enemy arrives in the midst of Richard Marx's thriving
career as a producer and songwriter, and in particular his Song of the

these successes would sour him on another solo outing, especially since
1997's Flesh &... |

Obviously, "Summer Of 69" is here--the blue-collar rock anthem that made

Van Morrison reputedly wasn't crazy about the idea of a greatest-hits
package, and this set's haphazard programming--which leaps from period
to period, style to style, tossing in two key singles by his mid-1960s
band Them--speaks of his lack of involvement. Still, it rivals
Moondance as Morrison's... |
