Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This 5cd set of the great Rickie Lee Jones is somewhat basic, and lacks the terrific job of presentation that Rhino used to do on most of it's reissues.All you get is a cheap cardboard box with the 5 albums inside. No new information, no lyrics, no photos.Moreover the cds have clearly not been remastered.That being said you do get 5 great albums for 15-00 pounds, including"Girl at her Volcano" which, as far as I know, has never been released on cd before-apart from 2 tracks on the 3cd "duchess of Coolsville" anthology. So, despite it's drawbacks, it gets 5 stars from me

Format:Audio CD
For the price this is an excellent collection of Rickie Lee's earliest (and generally her best) recordings, no matter that the cd's haven't been digitally enhanced or that there's no booklet with it - what do you expect for this price?! - although each cd comes in the original sleeve artwork. It contains her first 3 magnificent studio albums (RLJ, Pirates and The Magazine) which are worth the entry price alone. But, as a previous reviewer said, it also contains a bit of a rarity in Girl at Her Volcano, which was originally released as a 10" mini-lp or cassette, and was not widely available for all that long. It consists of studio and live performances, and contains her wonderful live version of My Funny Valentine, which is my personal favourite version of the song by anyone. Back in the day I had the cassette version of this but I lost it somewhere many years ago, so it's great to have it again - and this time on cd - even though, sadly, it does not include the cassette-only bonus track Something Cool, which was my favourite song on it (you can find it on the Duchess of Cool compilation). The other album Naked Songs is a live acoustic recording, which is fine, but just covers old ground. Taken as a total package, however, this is superb collection, whether for old fans like me or for people who might not yet know her music. (Incidentally, you can get it in Fopp for just £10 - like I did!).

'Pirates' is one of the top 5 albums of the 80s, 'Rickie Lee Jones' a fabulous debut, 'Girl at her Volcano' has been tough to acquire on CD or download, 'The Magazine' and 'Naked Songs' are only filler compared to the genius of the rest, and still rank above 98% of efforts by other female singer-songwriters. I would have paid the price of this pack just to own Rickie singing 'Rainbow Sleeves', which I haven't had since my cassette copy was chewed up. Buy this.

Takes me back to the past when I was asked to translate the lyrics into French for a friend!! Why dont they make music like this anymore? Great price and great service.

A "volcanic" package of classic Rickie Lee...
This 5-pack of Rickie Lee Jones CDs, which includes her first four releases and a later live album, is an absurdly good value even though the discs are housed in very simple... Read more

Great value
In this format this set of discs is fantastic value and Eco-friendly too.
Some real classic tracks from the singer and an excellent way to build up your back catalog.

What a bargain. FIVE corking albums for the price of a shot or two of bourbon in your favourite smoky bar.The debut is absolutely wonderful and Pirates is only a whisker behind. Read more
