A caveat that any item coming from a company's "special products(aka "custom marketing")department,the price may vary widely. Evidently,according to one review,Amazon has had this 3 disc set as low as $6.99;it's currently listed at $8.99 with no discount. This set shows up in brick and mortar stores,too,from around $9.99 to $14.98,and you may see it listed in catalogs for as high as $19.99. If you have nothing to compare it to,twenty bucks may seem like a good deal for 3 cds. Remember that there are only 40 tracks spread on the 3 discs-they could have done it on two but stores like to display 3 disc sets as gift sets. More tracks would have added to the cost of the set. So original 40 tracks(save a "live" that is passable)at nine bucks-a great deal.
There are tracks that show up daily on any oldies station(("Play That Funky Music"),soft rock stations("Lean On Me")and urban classic soul outlets(the Marlena Shaw tracks). The interesting parts,though,are the tracks here that haven't been played to death. If you don't recognize some of the,you might find a new friend or two that hasn't been overplayed. George Duke's "Reach For It" is an inspired choice,as is "What a Difference a Day Makes" from (Little)Esther Phillips's CTI days. Tinges of disco and funk,a healthy dose of Philly Sound since Sony owns these masters-a nice snapshot of the ,70s Soul.

First of all, let me assure you that these are the Original Recordings with the exception of a live version of "Midnight Train to Georgia" which actually sounds nice & fresh after having the original played to death on the radio.
If you are a Soul Freak, you will probably own some of these songs, but there are many, many overlooked gems such as:
"Say You Love Me" a wonderful track by Patti Austin
"Love Brought Me Back" This is a gospel like mid-tempo number by D.J. Rogers (who did a great duet with Patrice Rushen which is not included here). Why was this song not a hit?
"Your Love" by Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis - a marvelous, happy love song between this married couple. You also get the massive hit, "You Don't Have to Be A Star"
"Am I Black Enough For You" Billy Paul - the "Mrs. Jones" crooner goes kind of funky on us with this affirming anthem of racial pride
"In the Mood" Tyrone Davis - T. Davis is the man! You should check out a Greatest Hits collection. This is a nice Quiet Storm ballad
"Where Do We Go From Here" Trammps - The Disco Inferno Guys mellow it out here (kind of Barry White meets the Temptations)
I can't recall the name of the Manhattans tune included here, but it is nice - a good sample of what you will find on a Greatest Hits Collection
"Reach For It" is a light hearted funk number from Soul-Jazz Man, George Duke.
Anyway, this is an absolute steal at its $6.99 price. Remember this is a 3 CD / 40 song set. A must for any Soul Collection. A good mix of Quiet Storm ballads & uptempo steppers. Put in on at your next party & enjoy!
If you are still reading this pitiful review - stop right now & order this CD or check out your local Circuit City or Best Buy store which may carry this at a decent price.
A special thanks to my buddy who knowing what a soul freak I am gave this to me as a Christmas gift a few years ago. Thanks my man!!!!!!
