Advantages: All the hits.

Disadvantages: Omits some great tracks.

There are some great Ringo Starr tracks on this album, but there are also what I believe to be some glaring ommissions as well as some slight oversights.

La De Da was a brilliant single from Vertical Man, yet was not included on this compilation. I also thought the track Pure Gold from Rotogravure should have been added to this CD. It would have been nice to have maybe some new live versions of old Ringo Beatles classics such as Octopus's Garden, Don't Pass Me By and Honey Don't, although Act Naturally was a step in the right direction.

All the best hits other than those I have already mentioned are here, most notably for me You're Sixteen and Photograph. Never Without You is a great song too, which was written as a tribute to George Harrison, and as such is very touching. Of course, Snookeroo, Back Off Boogaloo, It Don't Come Easy, No-No Song, Beaucoups Of Blues and the John Lennon collaboration Good Night Vienna are featured herein.

Great overview of, and introduction to, the solo career of Ringo Starr.
