Overview

The compilation album was released in several editions. The regular edition in Italy was released as 2CD with 35 tracks,[1][2] in Europe as 1CD with 18 tracks,[3][4] while in North America and iTunes as 1CD with 15 tracks. In North America was released January 15, 2008 by Verve Records.[5] Italian edition is available in some iTunes Stores. In Italy and Europe was also released a limited edition with 2 CD and 3 DVD (video collection, bonus videos, extras).[1]

Depending on the edition, it includes four new covers: "Wonderful Life" by Black, which was released in Italy as single (#9), "Tutti i colori della mia vita" which is "I Won't Let You Down" by Ph.D., also released as single (#7), "Amen" which is "How Could This Go Wrong" by Exile, and "You Are So Beautiful" by Billy Preston.

The compilation, especially the Italian edition (due to vast track list), and European (due to have more hits than American), are the most complete compilation of his most successful and best songs. It includes hits "Diamante" and "Il Volo", as well collaborations "Dune Mosse" with Miles Davis, "Miserere" with Luciano Pavarotti, cover "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" (Italian version "Indaco Dagli Occhi Del Cielo") feat Vanessa Carlton and Haylie Ecker, "Ali D'Oro" feat John Lee Hooker, and "Senza Una Donna (Without A Woman)" feat Paul Young.[6]

In 2014 was released a 2CD limited edition All The Best + Zu & Co. in promotion of the Night of the Proms concerts.[7]

Reception

All About Jazz reviewed the American 15-tracks edition, praising that "perhaps no other recording artist in the world has recorded as many successful – and diverse – collaborations", the songs are a successful mixture of blues, soul, gospel and Italian melodies, concluding "never one to rest on his laurels, Zucchero continues to seek the recognition in the United States that he enjoys in the rest of the world".[8]
