合辑回顾-“The Best of Michael Ball”
清秀的麦扣”The Best of Michael Ball”-1994
It might seem rather odd to issue a Best Of compilation when there had only been two albums issued at that point, but while it probably was motivated as a cash in on the back of Michael’s first album hitting number one and Always hitting number three, this compilation is not totally without merit. First of all, the ‘One Step Out Of Time’ single came packaged with two non-album B-sides which were ‘No More Steps To Climb’ and ‘We Break Our Own Hearts’, both of which are included here. On top of that, ‘Everyday Everynight’, ‘Call On Me’ and ‘Maria’ were all unreleased prior to this compilation, and to sweeten the deal even more there are renditions of ‘Empty Chairs, Empty Tables’ and ‘Sunset Boulevard’ for good measure. Not essential by any means, but handy for those unreleased tracks and a good overview of his earliest recorded work.
在那个时候只发布了两张专辑的情况下发布一张精选合辑似乎有点奇怪，但尽管这可能是为了利用迈克尔的首张专辑登顶和《Always》排名第三的成功，但这张精选辑并不是毫无价值的。首先，单曲《One Step Out Of Time》附带了两首未收录在专辑中的B面曲《No More Steps To Climb》和《We Break Our Own Hearts》，这两首都包含在这张精选辑中。此外，《Everyday Everynight》、《Call On Me》和《Maria》在这张精选合辑之前都是未发布的歌曲，为了更加丰富，还有《Empty Chairs, Empty Tables》和《Sunset Boulevard》的演绎版本。虽然并不是必需品，但对于那些未发布的歌曲以及迈克尔最早的录音作品的概览来说，这张精选辑是非常有用的。
