Title: Better than the 3-volume set released in 1989
Review: This is probably the 8th or 9th greatest hits album by Barry Manilow to hit the stores and though you get most of the best songs from Arista's 1989 3-volume [cd], you just cannot call this album "ULTIMATE MANILOW". Arista left out songs like "Read them and Weep" (#16 on pop charts/#1 on Adult Contemporary charts for 8 consecutive weeks); "When I wanted you" (top 20 pop charts/top 5 AC)and "Memory" (top 40 pop charts/top 5 AC charts). If you're really looking for a collection that includes more songs and spans more years of chart activity (mostly AC), I suggest you buy "The Songs 1975-1989" (UK import).AND BY ALL MEANS BUY 'HERE AT THE MAYFLOWER', his 2001 debut for Concord Records and one of the best albums he's ever done.
