At the price of a single CD, you get three hours of some of the best music from one of the 20th Century's most popular and talented artists.  Since the release (and subsequesnt re-release) of 1990's terrific box set TO BE CONTINUED, Elton John has hit the U.S. Top 40 twelve more times.  All but four of those are included here, including the No. 1 duet with George Michael on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" (included on the bonus disc), through 1999's duet with LeAnn Rimes on "Written in the Stars" from ELTON JOHN AND TIM RICE'S "AIDA." The only really glaring omission is his 1997 remake of "Candle in the Wind."  However, I confess I much prefer the version included here from his 1987 album ELTON JOHN LIVE IN AUSTRALIA.  In addition the 40-page booklet is filled with photos, liner notes by biographer Paul Gambaccini, and a complete pictoral album discography. So if you're looking to update the box set (like me), or simply waiting for a more economic greatest hits package that cherry picks the hits from the past thirty years, this album will not disappoint.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
