"This collection includes the following releases, which can be found individually on amazon.com:



The Best Of John Denver...includes re-recordings of Denver's major hits, produced in the mid-1990's. The songs have mostly minor differences with the original versions. To my ear, the arrangements are fine. The vocals do not have quite the range that John Denver had in his prime. The order of the songs on the disk is different than on the packaging.



Windsong...this is great recording released in 1975. One of my favorites.



Folk Singer...selection of tracks from Denver's vast catalog featuring some of his slower and more socially-aware songs. This would probably be the weakest of the three disks for most fans.



The package includes an 11-page booklet with a few photos and an overview of the artist's career.



Overall, this is a worthwhile collection if you don't own any of the disks above. I would not pay the list price ($22), but a slight-used price of $10-11 is a bargain."
