An all but impossible-to-beat Tops greatest-hits set, with one disc covering their 60's glory days at Motown, abetted by the brilliant songwriting/production team of Holland-Dozier-Holland--who crafted timeless soul classics for them, including "Baby I Need Your Loving" and the epic "Reach Out I'll Be There"--and another including some of their less familiar, but no less worthy tracks, including brilliant covers of the Left Banke's "Walk Away Renee" and Todd Rundgren's "We Gotta Get You a Woman" and a truly exciting collaboration with the Supremes on "River Deep--Mountain High." Essential stuff.
