COMPILATION

Although it's a Universal-affiliated release, this is a sloppy anthology that combines a seemingly arbitrary assortment of Commodores hits -- recorded during and after Richie's membership -- with an equally sensible batch of solo Richie songs. In fairness, there are no second-rate album cuts here, and it does contain a fair quantity of essential highlights from both catalogs, such as "Machine Gun," "Brick House," "Easy," and "All Night Long." It shouldn't be purchased for more than pocket change, though.
