A truly "ultimate" Earth, Wind & Fire compilation would offer a larger assortment of highlights from the band's catalog, but this is a decent one-disc/20-track overview. Released in the U.K., Ultimate Collection draws from EW&F's classic Columbia era, with nothing from the early Warner Bros. albums or the later '80s releases.
