1	Dirty Dancing (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Two years after the 10th anniversary of Dirty Dancing, RCA released Dirty Dancing: The Collector's Edition, which combined the two soundtrack albums in one deluxe packaging. There is no new music or remastering -- just straight reissues of the soundtracks themselves. The packaging is a simulated-leather double-pack, containing a booklet that ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £5.50!
2	At Last! (1961) more music like this by Etta James add to wishlist After spending a few years in limbo after scoring her first R&B hits "Dance With Me, Henry" and "Good Rocking Daddy," Etta James returned to the spotlight in 1960 with her first Chess release, At Last. James made both the R&B and pop charts with the album's title cut, "All I Could Do Was Cry," and "Trust in Me." What makes At Last a great album is ... see all copies from £5.93! new only from £5.93!
3	Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 (2003) more music like this by Sam Cooke add to wishlist Some 46 years after his first pop hit, and 39 years after his death, comes only the second attempt at a comprehensive Sam Cooke collection. Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 eclipses RCA's early-'80s The Man and His Music, going it better in running time but losing some important recordings -- "That's Heaven to Me" and "Soothe Me," arguably one of ... see all copies from £9.68! new only from £11.36!
4	Definitive Collection (2002) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist When you're putting together a 21-song collection of a major artist who's had more than 40 Top 40 hits, inevitably there's going to be a lot of good stuff left out. Stevie Wonder's long and varied career (not over when this anthology appeared) really needs more than one disc to even adequately summarize the highlights. But this single-disc comp ... see all copies from £5.66! new only from £8.29!
5	All-Time Greatest Hits (2004) more music like this by The Platters add to wishlist While this single-disc distillation of the Platters' biggest hits is superb, it's almost identical to Rhino's 1998 comp Enchanted: The Best of the Platters, except that the Rhino disc actually has everything here plus three additional tracks. None of those three extra songs are among the group's more familiar numbers, though, so in all honesty All ... see all copies from £9.00! new only from £9.00!
6	Love Songs [MCA] (2001) more music like this by Etta James add to wishlist Drawn almost entirely from her Argo/Chess recordings of the '60s (although there are some cuts from the early '70s), Love Songs is a fine selection of romantic music from one of the greatest blues singers of her generation. There are hits here, highlighted by "At Last," but mood overrules chart position, so these 14 songs wind up setting a ... see all copies from £5.36! new only from £5.36!
7	American Graffiti (1973) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to the George Lucas film about teenage life in a small California town in the early '60s was probably the best thing about the movie, featuring several dozen outstanding early rock & roll hits. There's nothing terribly obscure here -- in fact, most of these were big smashes -- but it's a good survey of rock's early days, ranging ... see all copies from £8.61! new only from £15.69!
8	Capitol Collectors Series (1991) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist What Louis Prima accomplished musically in the company of Sam Butera and the Witnesses and vocalist Keely Smith is in hard evidence on this excellent 26-track compilation. All the classics are aboard with excellent liner notes from Scott Shea and crisp transfers of the original masters ("Angelina-Zooma Zooma," "That Old Black Magic," "I've Got You ... see all copies from £3.20! new only from £11.27!
9	Ultimate Collection (2004) more music like this by The Dells add to wishlist With a Motown flair, sweet Chicago harmonies, and sparse string arrangements that prefigured the Philly sound, the Dells reached the pop charts in every decade from the 1950s through the 1990s, a feat only equaled by the great James Brown. Originally a doo wop group, the Dells had hits in the 1950s with "Oh What a Night" and "Stay in My Corner," ... see all copies from £9.00! new only from £9.00!
10	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by Sam Cooke add to wishlist Although it isn't as sublime as the definitive The Man and His Music, Greatest Hits still does a good job of rounding up the majority of Sam Cooke's biggest pop hits. Ironically, it doesn't have enough gospel or R&B cuts, skipping over such essentials as "Touch the Hem of His Garment," "Ain't That Good News," and "A Change Is Gonna Come" in favor ... see all copies from £6.86! new only from £6.86!
11	The Best of the Girl Groups, Vol. 2 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Picking up where the first volume left off, The Best of the Girl Groups, Vol. 2 contains 18 classics from the golden age of girl groups. These are hardly leftovers; if anything, it feels like a greatest-hits collection, thanks to songs such as "My Boyfriend's Back," "Sweet Talkin' Guy," "The Loco-Motion," "A Lover's Concerto," "Chains," "Popsicles ... see all copies from £7.43! new only from £7.43!
12	Anthology (1988) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Perhaps the best single CD collection of Ray Charles' '60s and '70s ABC-Paramount material. They've also been issued on two separate anthologies, but for someone who only wants the essential items, this disc has them all over its 20 tracks. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from £4.21!
13	Song Review: A Greatest Hits Collection (1996) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist While it's not quite the definitive compilation it could have been, the double-disc Song Review: A Greatest Hits Collection is still a good overview of Stevie Wonder's long, prolific career. Skipping over "Fingertips, Pt. 2" and picking up with "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" and "I Was Made to Love Her," Song Review runs through the next three ... see all copies from £12.38! new only from £14.45!
14	The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this by Etta James add to wishlist Whoa. There are many Etta James collections out there. The standard-bearers thus far have been the Chess Box and the Essential Etta James. This set attempts to do something else and goes deep into her catalog to dig out the gems from her years with Modern, Argo, Cadet, Chess, Warner Brothers, Island, and Private Music/BMG, and presents the full ... see all copies from £7.12! new only from £8.99!
15	Soul Christmas (1968) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 1991 reissue includes eight of the original 11 tracks included on the Atco 1968 release (a rare album still worth seeking), with 11 more tracks added from the Atlantic vaults. Few, if any, Christmas compilations are more essential than this. Otis Redding's performances of "White Christmas" and "Merry Christmas, Baby" are alone worth the price ... see all copies from £4.63! new only from £4.63!
16	20 All-Time Greatest Hits! (1991) more music like this by James Brown add to wishlist While Brown's 30-track, 40-track, and even 50-track collections are excellent choices as well, this fine hits package is the best one for Brown neophytes looking for a way in. Covering his prime stretch from the late '50s through the early '70s, 20 All-Time Greatest Hits! includes early R&B milestones ("Please, Please, Please"), epochal '60s sides ... see all copies from £5.13! new only from £8.08!
17	Stand by Me (1986) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Set in the '50s, Stand by Me was a touching coming-of-age movie about a group of pre-teen boys. Appropriately, the soundtrack is crammed with early rock & roll hits. The movie may have been nostalgic, but the music on the soundtrack still sounds alive, decades after it was originally recorded. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.09! new only from £4.81!
18	Hitsville USA, Vol. 1: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Instead of following Stax/Volt's pattern and delivering an exhaustive box set containing all of their singles, Motown decided to limit their singles box, Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971, to four discs that concentrated on the hits. There are a handful of wonderful lesser-known songs here, such as the Contours' "First I Look ... see all copies from £18.53! new only from £24.71!
19	The Best of Ray Charles: The Atlantic Years (1994) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Taking one of the most interesting bodies of work in the history of American music and trying to narrow it down to one 20-song compact disc would seem to be the sort of project that's doomed to failure, and there's little arguing that this collection of Ray Charles's classic Atlantic Records sides merely skims the surface of some of the most ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £11.13!
20	Ultimate Christmas [Arista] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist While perhaps not living up to the lofty goals of its title, Ultimate Christmas is an excellent holiday sampler nevertheless, compiling classic performances from artists of all eras and musical backgrounds to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. The many highlights include Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas," ... see all copies from £6.16! new only from £6.16!
21	Animal House (20th Anniversary) (1978) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist see all copies from £5.50! new only from £5.57!
22	Forrest Gump [Original Soundtrack] (1994) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The surprise hit of the 1994 summer movie season traces the life of a half-wit through the major historical events of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, and this soundtrack album is a travelogue of the same period, from Elvis Presley's 1956 hit "Hound Dog" to Bob Seger's 1980 hit "Against the Wind." Like the movie, the soundtrack to Forrest Gump succeeds ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £12.43!
23	Best of B.B. King: 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection (2003) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist This edition in Universal's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection is actually a re-titled reissue of the 2001 collection A Christmas Celebration of Hope. It took B.B. King a long time to get around to his first Christmas album, which didn't appear until about half a century into his recording career. It's ... see all copies from £6.59! new only from £6.59!
24	Verve Presents: The Very Best of Christmas Jazz (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £7.51! new only from £7.51!
25	The Departed [Original Soundtrack] (2006) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist If The Departed found Martin Scorsese relying on some of his old tricks so his new tricks packed a bigger punch, so it is with the movie's soundtrack: he hauls out many of his old favorites -- the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, the Band; classic R&B in the form of LaVern Baker -- which only has the effect of giving the surprise left turns more ... see all copies from £8.04! new only from £11.38!
