Review by Bruce Eder 

MCA got serious about reissuing vintage music from its library in the 1980s, when it put the responsibility in the hands of producer , who was willing to spend the time and do the research required to find the right masters and also to propose doing right by them. One of the first results was , which unearthed a lot of previously unheard undubbed  demos, and  followed it up two years later with , the first  collection that was a revelation for its sound quality. Although it has been outdone in that department since, what with the advancement of digital technology and its uses, and there are compilations that take into account songs of his that became important in others' hands, this remains the best single-disc collection of's music, featuring 20 of his biggest hits. The songs aren't presented in chronological order, but the disc flows well, running through every one of his hits and all of his best-known songs -- "That'll Be the Day," "Peggy Sue," "Oh, Boy!," "Maybe Baby," "Rave On," "Think It Over," "Heartbeat," "It Doesn't Matter Anymore," "Everyday," "Not Fade Away," "Well ... All Right," and many others. A few terrific songs are missing, but remains a first-rate introduction and a nearly definitive summary of the highlights of 's brief recording career.
