Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).

This expanded CD reissue of a popular vinyl best-of is a succinct 14-track summation of Carole King's eight years at Ode Records. Although the piano-playing singer-songwriter recorded several albums during this period, 1971's TAPESTRY, of course, stands out from the rest. One of the biggest-selling albums of all time, TAPESTRY is also an unqualified artistic success, one of those rare albums whose sales match its quality. Unfortunately, HER GREATEST HITS is rather unfairly skewed towards that towering album, with five of the 14 tracks, counting a live take of "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," coming from it. While songs like "So Far Away" and "It's Too Late" are unimpeachable, this collection unintentionally denigrates King's other fine albums, such as 1973's FANTASY, which is only represented by the lovely, hymn-like "Believe In Humanity." This is a most enjoyable collection, but those who want to delve further into this period of King's career should perhaps check out the more thorough double-disc A NATURAL WOMAN.
