Um, What?? - Now, I like Michael, don t get me wrong. The whole Essential thing?? That doesn t work for me. I must have really sensitive equipment because to me, the mastering is not what it could be and as far as the Essential series goes, this is not the only entry in the series that needs to be looked at. Barry Manilow, Dolly Parton, Neil Diamond, Alabama, and Ronnie Milsap should be listened to again and the mastering Engineer reproached for disinterest in the final results of what should be fine compilations highlighting highs in the various artists careers. No, these sets frustrate me and leave me wanting to investigate better compilations.
Thank you for the great product! - My mother loves Michael Bolton and finally has a CD player in her car. She will love it!
Mr. Swindle & His Forgeries...For You - One of the most notorious, most successful thief in modern music history.But give this singing charlatan & his handlers credit! They have made off with more dinero than even most banks could count. Surely, most of the mega-millions that he has lured into his Cayman accounts has been female money, but I digress, maybe there are guys out there who are so accustomed to forgery, that the real thing is a thing of the past.I just saw a picture of this vandalizer & was wondering who he s ripped-off lately. Does he have his eyes set, on a say, Justin Timberlake, the late Robert Goulet, a Brad Pitt Retrospective, or maybe a duet with Barry Manilow singing, Mandy?Women, like everyone else, have to grow-up & if you re from the 60 s then there is No hope for you. But if you are content with this very poor facsimile, then you get everything you deserve.
Great music - Music is enjoyable to listen to, and the songs have a good beat. Some songs are more appealing than others, but the CD is great.
Kind of Disapointed - For a singer who has been around for 30 + years is do for a boxset. I noticed that there is nothing from his first two albums. So it is a best of from 1987-1999. The remastering is great. The problem I have is his song selection. It has the songs it should have. All his hits from 1987-97. It s also filled with obscure songs that were not hits. For 20 bucks you can t go wrong with a double CD. So I decided to make my own Essestial Bolton. Here are the songs Disk 1 1. Fools Games2. Back in My Arms Again3. Everybody s Crazy4. Call My Name5.
