...As I start this review I have to make it clear that I am a Robbie Williams fan. My better half and I saw him live in Paris last year and it was, undoubtedly, the finest 2 hours of live entertainment and showmanship that I have ever seen.

Disadvantages: He can never have any.

...I own so many Robbie Williams Singles and Albums but its good to have most of my favourites on ONE cd! I bought this as soon as i saw it advertised on tv, i didnt stop listening to it after! I bought mine from tesco's and it was a cheap price at £9.97 i think, was a while ago since i bought it so not to sure but it was around that price, which i think is pretty decent. Im sure you could of got it from asda at the same price, maybe cheaper. Prices now varie from a low £5 from woolworths to a very expensive £14 at virgin megastores!! There is no weak song on this album from "Lazy Days" and "Old Before I die" to his new songs he realsed on this album "Radio" And "Misunderstood" both doing really well. My personal favourite and another reason why i bought this album is because of his song "Angels" The thing i love about... Read review
