When
Elton John left
Geffen for
MCA,
Greatest Hits, 1976-1986 replaced
Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 (1979-1987). The newer collection is a better collection than its predecessor, since it trims the failed single
"Heartache All Over the World," which was added as an incentive for hardcore collectors, and
"Too Low for Zero," replacing them with
"Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word," "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," and
"Who Wears These Shoes?" Those three cuts are added to ten songs that illustrate that
John could still craft a killer pop single during the '80s.
