"If you already have the 2CD set "The Ultimate Collection" released in 2000, you already have 29 of the 30 tracks in this collection. And it's practically in the same sequence with almost the same cover. The only difference is the former has the track "Love Makin Music" while this one has "Baby We Better Try To Get It Together". Either way, you're getting a truly definitive collection of one of music's greatest singer-songwriters."
This Collection Is KILLER!!!

"This collection is perfect in many ways...first of all every song u know and love is here.And then some.The sound of the Remastering is outstanding! And mind you the way things are going if your into cds grab this one while you can.Why?because its just a matter of time before cds go by the wayside...Unfortunately people like me that love cds are a dying breed...Think about it, where is Tower Records? where is HMV? Now all you have is Walmart that for my taste the cds they have for sale are always a mess in the stores...I miss Tower..What a shame, Oh well.Go ahead order it... you wont be disappointed."
Yeah, but what about...?

"As titles go, this collection contains a version of every charted hit Barry White, including those not initially issued under his name (i.e. Love Unlimited Orchestra). After several repackages of the same material with NONE of them containing exclusively single versions, when the hell is Universal Music going to tackle that project? I'm sorry, but I don't need four packages that contain a 45 version of "Never Never Gonna Give You Up" that is missing the hi-hat cymbal during the intro or is the LP version. I also don't need several packages with an "edit of the LP version" for "You're My First, My Last, My Everything," when a perfectly good single version was the hit. Look, I realize Universal Music Group inherited the Barry White catalog from Polygram, but collectors own 45s, and all it would take is to digitally re-edit the LP version to match a dub of a 45 and voila! You have a nice, clean digital copy of the 45 version."
