Great Rare Tracks!.......2005-12-16
One of 3 identical versions.......2001-03-10
There are quite a few JJ compilations out there; this one is identical to "Talents Du Siecle", part of a series released in France (which translates into "Talents of The Century"), as well as another album entitled "Millennium Collection".
The material covers JJ's career up to the "Blaze Of Glory" album, though excludes any material from "Big World" and "Will Power". Tracks 8,14 and 18 are from the single "The Harder They Come", track 11 is the b-side to the "One More Time" single, while track 16 is the b-side to the "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" single.
JJ's musical journey brought us into many genres, from classical to jazz to rock. Each album as a personnality, which stands strong on its own. I found that when all mixed together like on this disc, it makes for a very eclectic experience: we go back and forth between those musical genres.
I like each album individually, but if I'm in the mood for some specific type of music, I'll put on the appropriate album: "Night And Day" for some jazzier sounds, "Look Sharp!" or "I'm The Man" for some rockier material, etc.
If you want an overview of the first decade of his career, this CD is fine; I find it MUCH too diverse to listen to from beginning to end: it contains something I'm not in the mood for at that time...
