Surprisingly enough, Classic Masters became the first U.S.-released Soul II Soul best-of when Virgin put it out in 2003. Even though it contains every important moment of the group's action in the U.S. ("Back to Life," "Keep on Movin'," "Get a Life," "A Dream's a Dream," etc.), the fact that early singles like "Fairplay" and "Feel Free" aren't present makes the disc feel as if pieces of the puzzle are missing.
