album, released in 1976 and consisting of his well-known early '70s recordings on
and re-recordings of some of the songs from his 1968
debut, is in the rarefied sales category of double-digit millions, so a second volume, taking in his tenure at
, was a no-brainer. The only wonder is why it took so long. But the second part of
's recording career has been different from his first, especially when it comes to hits. All of
