Singer songwriter Leo Sayer was one of the most creative and individualistic musicians during the second half of the 1970s. This very successful compilation was well timed as the hits would soon dry up. (UK:1)

“I didn't realize how talented Leo Sayer was until I bought this collection. It is easy to listen to, has very good songs, and I enjoy his music now more than ever.”

“If you like Leo Sayer, you will absolutely love this collection. This has all the classics that we know, and some that we've never heard. You will hear all the textures that make him the one of a kind that we know and love.”

“A huge star in the 70s yet often over looked when that decade is dissected by so called experts. He was an original performer who released catchy pop singles yet his albums offered up a much more serious side to his nature. This is as good a compilation that you could ever wish to own.”

“Sayer has a strange kind of voice and it takes a little getting used to. It is not unpleasant and he sounds a bit different from song to song, unlike some artists where every song sounds the same. There is enough variety here to please just about anyone.”

“Sayer's versatility is what's immediately obvious on this compilation. Aside from its obvious nostalgic charm, this sketches a portrait of a singer not only loaded with talent and ability, but also with resourcefulness, dedication, and an ability to remake himself.”

“A comprehensive collection of songs from a most under-rated singer/songwriter. there are no unworthy fillers here. What a great artist and song writer.”

“Great songs, I didn't realise he had made such good music. It is very easy to listen to the whole album without jumping to the obvious, better known tracks.”

“This greatest hits collection does a good job of representing the different faces of Leo Sayer.”
