One of the most popular compilations among fans, Encore is another 3CD set which offers a mind-blowing 60 songs. It gives the best overview of Michael’s career up until that point, covering nearly all the bases that the previous compilations attempted, but adding in material from albums like Music, Back To Bacharach and One Voice.
Having songs like ‘Alfie’, ‘I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing’, ‘Life On Mars’ and ‘I Don’t Wanna Talk About It’ in the company of well worn favourites gives this compilation the edge over pretty much all the others and is an ideal starting point if you don’t own anything of Michael’s – or can’t choose which album to listen to.
