Editorial Review:
From \Your Song"""""" to """"""""The Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore"""
Description of Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002:
This is the first attempt to consolidate all of Sir Elton's hit singles, from three labels, in one collection. It once would've required at least four CDs to own the best stuff here. Many think the legendary performer was at his best in the early to mid-'70s, and the incredible string of singles that ran from 1970's "Your Song" through 1977's "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" remains mighty impressive. But in retrospect, as they're presented here, '80s hits like "I'm Still Standing" and "Sad Songs" add much to an already amazing legacy. Three Disney tunes, the lush "The One," and two from Songs from the West Coast, which was hailed as a return to those '70s golden days, represent the later years. Collectively, these tracks reinforce the notion that, despite Michael Jackson's later proclamations, John was once the closest thing post-'60s music had to a genuine king of pop, respected by hipsters and the mainstream alike. --Bill Holdship
Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002 Reviews:
Caution 
2009-11-06 - beware of this cd if you already have any greatest hits cd's from Elton John....They are basically copies of two others cd's plus a few other songs from later years....This would be Ok for those that don't have either, but on one cd I own(I have two)has all the same songs and also the same poor quality( the other one is better but still some volume fluctuation between tracks... I even put it on a sound editor and all the sound waves and volume are all over the place....some of them actually "straight line" (flatten out) within the same song.....
I used my sound editor to get the volume even and add some "cleanup" and base boost and burned them to a cd...it sounds a lot better, but still not the best it could be...would benefit a great deal from re-mixing all the soundbites.
as is ; you may be disappointed in the sound quality and the volume variance .....there is nothing more annoying than listening to a CD that has such inconsistency in the volume (even within the same track0 some of the track to track volume is so bad you will have one blasting away one minute and then can hardly hear the next....still looking for remastered/remixed tracks of older Elton John tunes ......

It is my pleasure to comment on Elton John's - Greatest Hits 1970-2002. There are not too many occasions when you find all of the songs you enjoy by Elton John on two CDs. As a living legend, Elton John's music is like "fine wine" it gets beter and better through time.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,

2009-07-07 - This is a nice CD by Elton....I really like him and his music...all of my favs are on this CD...a great choice...
great songs, poor quality 
2009-06-24 - Looks like the recording company wasn't the greatest that put this CD together. The volume from song to song varies significantly, and not only is that annoying, but it's a sign of poor quality record company.
