Let's be frank: if you're even considering buying this CD release, then chances are you watched the whole first season of Glee and/or are an avid collector of any merchandise related to the US comedy. However, despite the "Best Of" heading, this disc has basically been produced to bridge the gap between seasons for those of us still awaiting Series 2 in the UK, and while there are certainly some impressive tracks on here, The Best Of Season One feels unnecessary given all of the numbers have been released already and the target audience will likely have purchased those releases on day one. Mercy, Rehab and Jessie's Girl have been added (having never been available on CD), but none of these are substantial enough to warrant another £10 investment, and neither are the karaoke tracks on the second half of the set. All in all, while all 20 tracks are most certainly worth a listen, this isn't really the place to do so.
