This CD contains some of Cross' hits, but before purchasing this, all fans should first check out the digitally remastered "The Definitive Christopher Cross" available here. TDCC contains nineteen songs, seven of which were top hits and also includes "A Chance for Heaven" written for the '84 Olympics. I bought this CD recently and love it! If you are a Christopher Cross fan (and who isn't) this is the ultimate collection to date. It offers all the hits as well as a good sampling of lesser known material such as the wonderful "In The Blink of an Eye". For further info, check out my review on TDCC.

This release gets 4 stars simply because there has been no effort on the part of Warner Bros. to put together ANY kind of Christopher CRoss compilation! What is with these Neanderthals?! Even Leif Garrett has a compilation CD out, for God's sake...

That said, the most essential songs are here: "Sailing," "Ride Like The Wind," Arthur's Theme" and "All Right." But why include "Words Of Wisdom" (From Another Page) when it was never even released as a single? And why put "Love Is Love" on the collection but leave off "Never Be The Same," a top 10 hit single?

A definitive (HINT: 2 disc) compilation would include "Think Of Laura," "A Chance At Heaven" (recorded for the 1984 Olympics tribute album) and "The Best Christmas" (1990), as well as several worthwhile songs from his latest releases. Here's hoping this will happen during my lifetime! Until then, this release is well worth the extra cost of admission!

I dug alot of Christopher Cross's early stuff.all the main hits are here."Ride like the wind" is a timeless song."sailing" still sounds fresh to me.He had alot of early hits&then things gotta went away but He has alot of solid songs that will hold up for many Decades to come.it's a Good Set.

This German compilation from 1992, which I bought there two or three years ago, is just what a former reviewer called it: the best sounding and most useful Christopher Cross CD collection available today. My absolute favorite, naturally, is the title track "Ride Like The Wind". The other real good, and very underrated, I might add, tracks include "All Right", "Someday", "Love Is Love", "Any Old Time", "Charm The Snake", and "That Girl". As for the slower-paced ballads, which are all right-sounding as well, they are "Say You'll Be Mine", "Sailing" (This was Number One at one time, wasn't it?), and "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)", whose lyrics were a question on a recent "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"! So, now, I'm glad I still have this CD, it being the first choice one should make for wanting to hear Mr. Cross's highly underrated material. But hey, after he won 5 Grammys in the early '80's, he just couldn't quite sustain that popularity for much longer, as he was featured on a "Where Are They Now?" news special not too long ago. As it's an import, it's higher in price, but still well worth it. By the way, Chris, what's with all the flamingos?

SAILING, ARTHUR'S THEME and ALL RIGHT are classic radio tunes. Christopher Cross wrote most of the material on this. The entire LP sounds very dated. None of the tunes on this are updated or remixed . Quality of the CD is not THAT fantastic. (W/ref to the West.Gemary pressing) A couple of the hits are missing, LAURA'S THEME, NEVER BE THE SAME... just to name but a few. No lyrics included on this release. Just about the BEST Christopher Cross greatest hits release available on the market right now. Will have to do I guess.
