Sleeve: R Kelly isn't noted for modesty; front cover pose of 'thoughtful' finger on forehead and back silhouette shot sums up the man.
Sleevenotes: Detailed, but one-sided view of Kelly's achievements from Andy Marriott, backed up with video stills.
Content: Sixteen tracks, in any order, starting with latest hit, Ignition - Remix. All the big hits are here with the breakthrough Your Body's Calling, She's Got That Vibe and The World's Greatest.
High point: I Believe I Can Fly is not a fixture on Pop Idol for the fun of it.
Low point: Fiesta - Remix. Like the Spanish, I wanted to sleep.
Any glaring omissions?: None.
Anything new?: Second CD of remixes, including re-workings of Gotham City and Bump N Grind.
Justified or feeble excuse for release?: Given his achievements, it's about time his hits were put into one package.
Where might this end up at Christmas?: On the CD player, regularly, for R Kelly-philes, but otherwise on the shelf.
