Advantages: Nice collection Disadvantages: Not a love collection, just good R & B
The essential R & B collection is a good complilation but I wouldnt necessarily call it a love collection.Its the kind of cd to listen to when ironing or driving.Some songs obviously suit the title,love collection and this includes NSYNC,Wayne Wonder,Aaliyah,Alicia Keys,Toni Braxton among others.But Eamon with F**k It? Other songs like R Kelly's hands of time are for reminiscing the good old times and what could have been not whats happening at the moment.Maybe if the songs could have been numbered differently it could have made a difference with the love songs in one cd and the others in the next.Its a good mix of the old and the new with Justin Timberlake,Warren G,2 pac and Dr Dre but I wouldnt consider it when planning a cosy night in.Nice collection though. ...
Advantages: chilled out happy tunes Disadvantages: variety of artists not just R&B
I loved this CD collection, it has a fantastic range of artists on it, which allows for the CD to appeal to all diffent types of individuals, it says that it is am essential R&B collection yet i woul say that some of the variety of songs are also Hip Hop and possibly slightly dance tracks. Fantastic for singing along to when your in the car, exspecially in this nice weather. Containes a mix of various tracks from present day, back to the some oldies such as Bobbi Brown, which is always good to hear from time to time. Has some classic's from Destinys child to Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys, this CD collection gives off a positive happy vibe, which is what we all need when the summer is on its way. ...
Advantages: Excellent selection of old songs and some new, rare material as well Disadvantages: Fans will already have all the tracks on the first 2 CDs of the set
that rightly closed many of his shows during the 'Reunion' and 'Rising' tours. It certainly deserves its place in an EssentialCollection.
Now, some might say the inclusion of a 3rd disc of previously unreleased material is a cynical ploy to get hard core fans to part with their cash and buy an album that otherwise they'd not even consider purchasing. But considering you can get the 3 CD package for little more than the price of a normal single CD release, maybe that's a tad unfair.
The selection of unreleased material on CD3 is not as strong as that on 18 Tracks, but it does include the classic anthem Trapped (which often appears in the live set during the current Magic tour) as well as the gentle Born in the USA outtake County Fair and Dead Man Walking - written for the soundtrack of the Oscar winning ...

Album Notes
This two-CD compilation gathers tracks from the early part of the trumpeter Chet Baker's career, both from his small group recordings with the pianist Russ Freeman and from his later sessions with a nonet string section. The early, all-instrumental pieces, which make up the bulk of this collection, have a rich, uncluttered sound that's nevertheless full of texture and variety, while the tracks cut with strings have a spare, occasionally haunting, autumnal quality.
