A division of Sony Music Entertainment, Arista/Legacy Recordings has announced the release of The Essential Eric Carmen, a 30-track retrospective of the legendary singer/songwriter's four-and-a-half decade career.

According to Sony, "The two-disc set arrives in stores on March 25th and is available now for pre-order on iTunes (iTunes.com/EricCarmen)".

By pre-ordering users will receive the new track "Brand New Year" instantly.

Remastered carefully from the original analog recordings by Grammy Award-winning engineer Mark Wilder at New York City's Battery Studios, The Essential Eric Carmen reaches back to the Cleveland-based artist's first recordings out of the teenage garage and then travels through his unforgettable catalogue of hits, both with power pop icons Raspberries ("Go All The Way," "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)," "I Wanna Be With You") and as chart-dominating solo superstar ("All By Myself," "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again," "She Did It," "Hungry Eyes," "Make Me Lose Control").
