Review - Product Description
Import-only collection from the acclaimed singer/songwriter spanning the first 12 years of her successful career and featuring tracks from her first five albums that she recorded for the Elektra label. When Tracy first appeared on the music scene in 1988, her self-titled debut album was heavily influenced by the classic singer/songwriter scene of the '70s and was a refreshing alternative to the over-produced dross that most of the labels were releasing at the time. 16 tracks including her first big hit 'Fast Car' plus other radio hits and great album tracks like 'Crossroads', 'Telling Stories' and 'Give Me One Reason'. Warner. 2001.

- The best of Tracy Chapman.

I never thought I'd get a Tracy Chapman album that was better than her debut, but this is it. It takes songs from her first five albums, including 4 tracks from her debut, and 4 from her "New Beginning" album. The first 4 songs alone from "Collection" make this worth owning, they're all perfect. But other tracks like "Crossroads", "Smoke And Ashes", "All That You Have Is Your Soul", and the popular "Give Me One Reason" are all wonderful too. There's not one bad song here, and each one that I didn't know previously, I now love as well. Highly recommended. If you're wondering why this is import only, I found it at Best Buy for 15 bucks.

- Some of Tracy's GREATEST, but not the BEST

This is a "greatest hits" album that makes you want to buy all of her individual albums. Tracy Chapman is a thrilling artist, a pure singer with a strong voice and a true voice. She is so talented and deserves a lot more accolades than she has received. It would make a great gift for yourself or someone on your list. This is a great CD to get you introduced to some of her older songs if you are a newer fan. I would have included "For My Lover", maybe it will be in a Tracy Chapman box set someday.

- DO NOT BUY THIS CD, it is defective

I ignored the other reviewers and bought this disk. Oops! They are right, there is a obvious buzz running through every song. I cannot believe that they still sell this. What a shame, I really wanted a collection from her!

- Static thoughout the CD

I played the replacement CD and there it is still static throughout it. I am fustrated. I purchased it for a Christmas present. I gave it 1 star because that is the lowest star there is. If I could rate it zero stars, I would. Please,either make sure before sending the CD that it is not defective or send my money back.

- Defective Disks

I ordered this item and received a copy which had annoying static sounds and other bad recording problems. I returned it and asked that a proper disk be sent. The replacement sent had the same problems. There may be a batch of bad disks. I gave up with the second try and asked for a refund.
