The Annie Lennox Collection,
By
This review is from: The Annie Lennox Collection (2 Cd + DVD) (Audio CD)
What a wonderful collection this is. When Annie began her solo career in earnest with 'Why' and the album 'Diva' she was the biggest selling UK female vocalist and had 'Brit' awards left , right and centre. Since then her popularity has waned slightly but this collection should put Annie back in the charts where she belongs.
Annies big hits 'Why', 'Little Bird' and 'Walking On Broken Glass' are all included here on disc one along with the massive hit 'No More I Love Yous' taken from her second solo album'Medusa'. There is a also a fine selection of 'should have been hits'including 'Pavement Cracks'and 'A Thousand Beautiful Things' the highlights from her third and rather dark album 'Bare'. Why these tracks were not hit singles is a mystery along with 'Dark Road' and 'Sing' from Annies most recent wonderful album 'Songs Of Mass Destruction' From the point of view of the fan who already has everything , there are two new tracks including Annies new single 'Shining Light' which is such an upbeat and positive song that must surely give Annie a deserved hit. Also for the fans there is a second disc which includes harder to find gems such as Annies Ocsar winning track 'Into The West' taken from the soundtrack of the final Lord of the Rings epic 'The Return of The King', and Annies take on 'Everytime We Say Goodbye' recorded for the fabulous 'Red Hot and Blue' album. The only thing missing here for me is Annie's single with Al Green 'Put A little Love In Your Heart' which gave Annie her fist US Top Ten hit away from Eurythmics. Disc three includes a fine selection on Annies wonderful videos. The video for 'Shining Light' is already a favourite as Annie appears to be a having a great time in her dressing up box!! This is such a good collection of quality songs, and with 3 discs it's excelent value for money too.

A Rare And Precious Thing,
By
This review is from: The Annie Lennox Collection (2 Cd + DVD) (Audio CD)
How can one measure the whole worth of this wonderful woman and her work?
Mrs Wolf done good. Standing in line for two hours yesterday evening in one of London's largest musical emporiums means that Mr Wolf is now the very proud owner of a signed copy (with love no less) of Ms Lennox's retrospective collection. Thankyou Mrs Wolf. The two CDs and one DVD which comprise this inestimable release present an overview of her solo work to date. Many of the tracks will, of course, be familiar to her fans but it is good nonetheless to have them lined up according to her will and whim. Ms Lennox has every reason to be proud. The voice needs no introduction. Undoubtably one of the great voices of our time. Instantly recognisable. A touchstone for all that might count for wisdom and true feeling in a world gone mad. A national treasure. (I hope that we may be forgiven for sharing just a little of Scotland's glory). I guess we all have our favorite songs from her repertoire. Some of mine are here. The achingly beautiful melody and lyrics of 'Why' must surely have the power to thaw even the coldest heart. It connects at the deepest emotional level because each and every one of us has had a 'Why' moment at some point in our lives. That's what she does you see. Touches us. Reassures us. Connects her fears with ours. Cheers us on. These are rare qualities in a world of quick fix musical formulae. There is no formula here other than solid gold. ( Au. Atomic number 79 ). So good to hear 'Love Song For A Vampire' from Mr Coppola's 'Dracula' again and a small pity that the video was not included on the DVD. The inclusion of Joni Mitchell tribute, 'Ladies Of The Canyon' was a nice suprise. It's a truly stunning arrangement which casts new light on a great song. Other highlights include an incredibly affecting performance of Cole Porter's 'Every Time We Say Goodbye'. A brave move too given Ella Fitzgerald's historic rendition. The live take of 'Many Rivers To Cross', is a pure blast of undiluted, unadulterated soul. 'Shining Light', a new recording, is an uplifting experience. Ms Lennox really does sound as though she is enjoying herself. 'Dream Angus' and 'Hush, Hush, Hush' are simply sublime. Nice to have the videos too. These small art films have always allowed our heroine to express the complexity of her elusive personality. They are both evocative and fun in equal measure. The culminating multiple Minnie Mouse moments of 'Waiting In Vain' never fail to make me laugh out loud ! 'Precious' still packs a mighty punch seventeen years on. The packaging, however, which others have correctly pointed out, is very cheap and nasty. Our Lady deserved a finer frock for her graduation ball ! A stunning achievement. Love right back atcha Annie ! Essential.

A shining light,
By
This review is from: The Annie Lennox Collection (2 Cd + DVD) (Audio CD)
I seem to be spending a lot of time driving up and down the M5 and I needed something to listen to me. I've always liked Annie Lennox and this collection reminds me why (no pun intended). Annie's voice is soaringly beautiful but also haunting, the lyrics suddenly grab you and you wonder at their meaning. My journey becomes a pleasure and I forget the day.
Of course I can't watch dvd as I drive but the price difference was so low I decided to go for this option. I enjoyed seeing the videoes again, they are stylish classics.
