2.5 but not 3 It does contain Blueberry Hill (if you need it; it's hardly my favorite) and My Blue Heaven, but overall, the other collection has better "other" songs besides the many they share. This has many duplications from the superior collection "Rock and Rollin/Million Sellers" They are the best cuts, and if you don't have that one, this is a fair substitute.
No Fats collection is uninteresting; the man defined the R&B sound for a long time. He could swing and sing. Listen to a sample (or if you can find it, the relative obscurity I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday) and you'll hear his sound. But overall, it just doesn't measure up to the alternative.
great cd
