Summary: Another great album destroyed by the "loudness war"
Comment: And they did it again... It seems that Sony/BMG/Universal Music, through their many labels (like Hip-O, under which this album was released), are becoming the leaders of the infamous "loudness war" (Google the expression for more info). Basically, that means mastering the CD with the audio normalized beyond the CD format dynamic range limits. That way, on many of the songs, louder parts are simply clipped, that is, those audio frequencies are simply not present anymore, because the audio was mastered so loud that the audio was clipped (cut off) when it reached the limit the CD format allows, and those frequencies are irreparably lost in the process. The idea is to deceive the average consumer into thinking that he is getting a better sounding recording, when it's the exact opposite - it's just louder, and worse - with parts of the audio actually missing.
I've just received the CD set and ran a full audio analysis of the "On And On" track. There are at least 446 clipped samples on the left channel and at least 264 on the right channel. To see the sound carnage for yourself, just extract the track and open it with an audio editor like Cool Edit, zoom in on the clipped sections, and see the poor sound wave cut off into a flat line, with the sound it was meant to reproduce completely LOST.

Summary: It's about time.
Comment: Finally someone decide to release ALL of Gladys Knight and the Pips hits. This Double disc set covers all three labels (Motown, Buddah, and Columbia), and some Gladys's solo hits. All the hits are here and its about time someone recognized one of the greatest soul groups ever. Thank you Hip-O Records. Maybe you should think about a box set.
Customer Rating:
Summary: VERY POOR QUALITY
Comment: This compilation may be the ultimate Gladys Knight & the Pips in the number of songs but the quality of the recording is very poor. This CD has every song you could ever wish for but unless you don't mind your music sounding like your listening to it under water, stay away from this one. Gladys sounded better on AM radio back in the day than on this compilation recording. Do not accept quantity over quality, you will be disappointed.
