ABOUT THE RECORD Timing is a crucial issue in the release of a first "greatest-hits" anthology for an artist in mid-career, and Arista Records could not have improved on its decision to issue Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits in the fall of 1978. At the time, Manilow had enjoyed an unbroken string of 13 consecutive Top 30 hits, and the 14th, Somewhere in the Night, was already in the pipeline. This double-LP set, includes all 14 hit singles and adds another five album tracks. (With the advent of CDs, the label deleted one of those album tracks, Jump Shot Boogie, and reissued Greatest Hits as a single 18-track, 69-minute CD.) Most of the extras were uptempo numbers, making a welcome change of pace from the ballads that constituted most of Manilow's hits. One exception to this rule was All the Time, a ballad that probably would have been a hit single if it could have been squeezed into Manilow's release schedule. Greatest Hits was perfectly timed because it caught Manilow at his popular peak; he would have more big hits, but for those who loved him, the essence of his repertoire was to be found here, from Mandy to Copacabana and all the AM favorites in between. The album was certified 3x platinum in the US. It also features the new single, Ready to Take a Chance Again, which reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
