The fact that it is the 6th version of the "Greatest Hits" put him in the catagory of The Beach Boys in terms of recycling; worse, if this one only covers his output from 1979 (OFF THE WALL) to now, as that is only about a half-dozen albums over that time. That it is part of the ESSENTIAL series makes it half-justified, but as the others here, the timing of the release is highly questionable from a marketing standpoint.

Then again, I too hadn't heard a sound about this being released, so there may not be any marketing (or it's placed where I wouldn't be likely to hear it).

I like the observation that it is 400 per state, but seriously, I doubt this release will ever sell 400 in Wyoming. Or South Dakota. Or Hawaii. Or . . .
