Album Review

The first half of the 1978 two-record set Greatest Hits, the CD issue of Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 contains ten tracks from Barry Manilow's '70s prime; however, since it's incomplete without the material on Vol. 2, those looking for a more or less definitive overview will need both volumes. For those who want more, the rest of this period's worthwhile songs not on these two volumes can be found on Live.

Precursor To The Boxed Set

This Greatest Hits cd along with volumes 2 and 3 were reconfigured from his first and second hits albums released earlier in his career to create a more comprehensive collection and to take advantage of the remastering process. For 1989 this hits collection is well mastered and using three discs with a capacity to hold 75 plus minutes of material gave room to include unreleased songs, though not on this first disc. This three disc set was completed at the same time and marketed to fans who would buy all three discs to own the essential Barry. Four albums were skipped from this collection, 1984's "2 A.M. Paradise Cafe," 1985's "Manilow" because it was recorded for then seperate label RCA, 1987's "Swing Street" and 1989's "Barry Manilow." Until the "Essential Collection" was released this was the only source for "Some Kind Of Friend" culled from Barry's "Here Comes The Night."

In terms of record sales and career longevity, Barry Manilow is one of the most successful adult contemporary singers ever. That success hasn't necessarily translated to respect (or even ironic hipster appreciation) in most quarters; instead, Manilow's music has been much maligned by critics and listeners alike, particularly the romantic ballads that defined his career, which were derided as maudlin schlock even during his heyday. It's true that Manilow's taste for swelling choruses and lush arrangements...
