When this first came out in 1975 as a vinyl LP, Barry White, as a solo artist, only had seven legitimate hit singles to that point, so the inclusion of three tracks (5, 8 and 10) that were not themselves hits - i.e., charters on any of the Billboard Pop Hot 100, R&B or Adult Contemporary (AC) listings - was understandable.
But whereas most CDs covering such early albums have been blessed with "bonus" tracks, this 1990 release has never been so upgraded. The skimpiness of the package is then magnified by the complete lack of liner notes, not to mention a discography of the contents which would have at least explained where those three non-hits came from. Were they failed singles or culled from an album?
The seven hits that are here are, certainly, still among the best of the 46 he registered from early 1973 to 1999, the first 18 on the 20th Century label (he would have two more on that label after moving to Unlimited Gold in 1979), not to mention the seven instrumentals as leader of the 40-piece The Love Unlimited Orchestra from 1973 to 1977, and the first hit on Uni in 1972 for the female vocal trio known as Love Unlimited on which Barry's voice is heard on the telephone.
His first as a solo artist was the smash I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby which made it to # 1 R&B, # 3 Hot 100 and # 27 AC in May/June 1973 on 20th Century 2018 b/w Just A Little More Baby, followed later that summer by I've Got So Much To Give, a # 5 R&B/# 32 ... Read More

For under $2, you can't go wrong with this collection.
I purchased the CD version from Amazon.com of course.
Old school thinking here since I prefer owning the title
on CD. Go for it if you have been sitting the fence for
Barry White.

With Valentine's day nearby,Barry White entered my thoughts.
He just seems to celebrate love in his songs, in his voice. Most of the songs are very upbeat very emotional (in a good way)
I have a few cds of his and I don't know which I like the best.
His popularity will only increse with time.
Wonderful!

This compilation covers exactly my favorite period of Barry White's body of work. Younger people might compare it to some of his later stuff and think it isn't much different. Maybe - I really don't know whether he got worse after this, or maybe the initial impact wore off on me or perhaps it's a matter of sentimental attachment to a certain period of my early teens. All I know is that these songs sound like magic to me, a kind of magic that I don't hear in later hits like "Let The Music Play", for instance. This is vintage Barry White, when the multitalented musician had just discovered his singing abilities and was writing his best stuff. His early albums didn't have that many songs, sometimes just five or six that he would make the most of, so ten tracks is a very generous sample of his best solo vocal stuff. But you still need a compilation of The Love Unlimited Orchestra ("Love's Theme") and maybe even the Love Unlimited trio to have a representative collection of the best of his music
