Review title: You can skip this set if you own FROM THE TOP boxed set
Product review: The Essential Collection was reviewed in the 11/2/02 issue of Billboard magazine. Here is some of what was said..."there's not much here that hasn't been heard before. It would have been fun to include outtakes and alternate arrangements instead of packaging the hits yet again, since most followers likely already have one of the numerous collections previously issued (in particular, the 1991 boxed set, From The Top, which is awfully similar to this one)."This echoes what the music fan from Somerset MA said.
