Hmm there have been many compilations of Diana at Motown but for once we have on cd that is UK centric in it's track selection being very close to the much loved 20 Golden Greats lp of 1979 missing the two top twenty singles from the Diana & Marvin such as You Are Everything and Stop, Look and Listen. It just might be what you need.

Is "Top of the World" a cover of the Carpenters hit?

From the album Baby, It's Me produced by Richard Perry that was issued in 1977. Ordered up a copy as it's under GBP5 shipped.

No "Last Time I Saw Him." Was that not a sufficiently large hit in the UK? (1973 #14 US, #35 UK)

I'd say so but I guess we hit the single cd time limits. There's a good sounding source for that one on cd if you don't have the original album on cd - have a download mp3 of the very scarce remaster - and it's Motown Chartbusters 9.
What's good about this collection is they're using a good number of single mixes/edits.

Arrived yesterday. It sounds very good with a dedicated cd mastering , it's good to have a number the singles mixes in one slot but the notes are very generic failing to make the case for the track selection .I think this is the best single cd compilation of UK Motown era hits.
