Format:Audio CD
This is a very good package. First of all, you get a lot of music for your money; 16 carefully chosen tracks on the CD and 13 videos with commentary and documentary on the DVD. Secondly, the music you do get is very high quality and is an absolute representation of Stevie Nicks' career down to a tee; there is nothing left out, nothing missed, and everything flows extremely pleasingly.
Those are the practicalities! There is a lot more to this CD & DVD though, and I feel it is necessary to dispell some of the inaccuracies in prior reviews. This CD does indeed contain a large amount of the same material on 'TimeSpace - The Very Best of Stevie Nicks', but 7 of the 16 tracks on 'Crystal Visions' are not to be found on 'TimeSpace' at all, not to mention the fact that a further 4 are live versions which prove that this is not simply a rehash of studio versions you can get just anywhere. In fact, I felt it was evident that Stevie has actually spent a little time finding different cuts, live versions, and an interesting track order which is far more interesting than the stolid chronological orders of other Greatest Hits packages I've bought.
As for specifics, the CD has a mixture of Fleetwood Mac tracks and solo tracks which makes this a truly "definitive" version of Stevie's career, and includes two tracks from her 2001 album 'Trouble in Shangri-La' which gives this a fresh vibe that none of her other retrospectives can offer as they all came out before that year, and makes 1991's 'TimeSpace' look somewhat dated (and the cover a fright!). The live tracks were all recorded since 2005 and two with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in Australia in 2006, which once again serves to show you a piece of what Stevie is still doing to this day; the closing "Edge of Seventeen" is spectacular with the violins and trumpets! And it is absolutely ridiculous for anyone to say you can barely hear it - you most certainly can and I was taken aback by how evident it is after having read these other inaccurate reviews.
The DVD of music videos contains some humour as Stevie talks you through some of the 80s atrocities and outfits, with little stories here and there about what was going on behind the scenes. I've never seen anyone do a personal commentary like this and it's definitely a nice touch and it's nice to see she doesn't take it all too seriously; you'll enjoy looking at how she's changed over the years and seeing all the different phases of her career up to the more polished newer videos. Nothing ground-breaking admittedly, but a nice touch.
This package is worth the money! If you're mildly interested in Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac or new to her music, this is a wonderful package for you to enjoy! If you're a big fan already then there won't be much new for you but as it's a Very Best Of then I'm not entirely sure what some of you are expecting. The Live versions are worth it for me personally, and overall it's simply a tasteful, energetic, well crafted and enjoyable listen!

Having been a lifelong fan of Stevie & indeed Fleetwood Mac-this CD is superb value for money as it's a double CD/DVD.
Stevie never disappoints & having seen her twice live with Fleetwood Mac-I always want more.
One of the most talented female singers of all time-DVD looks a little dated but just how I remember her from watching the original when the tracks were released.
She never dates & is so talented-look at the songs she has written-especially love Edge of Seventeen-the riff of which was used by Beyonce all these years later.
It was fascinating to hear the DVD interviews & listen to the life & love stories of the tracks & why she wrote them-some I knew about & some I didn't.
Really sad to learn that one of the tracks was written when her dad died-very poignant.
This album is so fab, I bought 2-one with the double CD/DVD pack & the CD double for my car!!
Recommended 10000% if you are a Stevie/Fleetwood Mac fan.

This CD is absolutely fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone.
It contains all her classics such a Edge of Seventeen and Rooms on Fire plus it has live songs too. Her 9 minute long version of Edge of Seventeen is breathtaking and has some truly awesome solos. Thos CD also features her live cover of Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll.
The DVD is also great featuring different videos of her live performances.
This is well worth the money.

It's a good "greatest hits" collection especially for someone like me who has followed Stevie more as a member of Fleetwood Mac than as a solo artist. Read more

Worth every penny
This is a wonderful package. The dvd is especially great. All of Stevie's videos plus the never shown/released original "Stand Back" video. Read more

Great artist, average package
As the third Stevie Nicks 'greatest hits' or 'best of' in 17 years, there seems precious little reason for the release of this package. Read more

It's a weird 'Best of...' that excludes 'Gypsy' and 'Stand Back' however good everything else is!

As my old teacher used to say..."could do better"
Now, don't get me wrong I'm a great fan of Stevie Nicks work both solo and with Fleetwood Mac which is probably why I find it so dissapointing that this is just another re-hashed... Read more
