An Australian collection available on the Shock label, The Very Best of Al Green collects 20 tracks from easily Green’s best era: the ’70s, when he was in his finest voice and Willie Mitchell gave him an assortment of bedrock rhythm tracks. The 1975 original Al Green’s Greatest Hits is still one of the best compilations ever released (especially in its expanded form), but this one does much the same job, with almost all of the hits anyone would expect: “Call Me (Come Back Home),” “Let’s Stay Together,” “I Can’t Get Next to You,” “Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy),” “Here I Am (Come and Take Me),” and “I’m Still in Love with You.” The sound quality is excellent as well, though this item doesn’t pop up very much.
