Terrific CD!

Review Score: (10/10)
This is a very definitive collection of Phil Collins' greatest hits of his 17 year career (at the time of this CD's release year) and is an essential collection for both novice and longtime fans alike.

The 80s singles that dominate most of this collection are among the most memorable and classiest hits that that amazing decade offered and still stand well even today. His 1990s songs have unfortunately fared less well but at least have some spot on this collection and "Both Sides of The Story" is a truly powerful socially-conscious classic with a sad story behind it.

The previously unreleased song called "True Colors" is a great cover of the Cyndi Lauper classic and improves on the original version.

Go and buy this collection. It's a great investment.
