THIS IS BEST OF COMPILATION MAY BE SHORTER BUT SWEETER. SOME OF THE SONGS LIKE "GOOD LOVIN' "& "WHAT I NEED" AMONG SOME OTHERS THAT ARE NOT THE FIRST COMPILATION CD ARE FABULOUS. LOYAL FANS OF CRYSTAL WATERS AND THE GENRE SHOULD HAVE ALL OF HER MATERIAL. THIS CD IS PERFECT FOR CASUAL FANS OF CRYSTAL WATERS SINCE IT HAS HER BEST SONGS IN ONE PLACE. SIGNED... MUSIC FAN.

Whilst Crystal is currently releasing strong new 12" material (such as 'Come On Down') another album is compiled of her older material. Following 1998's 'The Best Of' and the UK only 'The Collection' (released early 2001), this is already the third 'greatest hits' set of this dance performer. Unfortunately it's also the worst collection. Just like the 1998 official collection it focuses on album cuts rather than single remixes, which is always a mistake as her remixes are often much better. 'Gypsy Woman' is featured in an awful version and 'Say... If You Feel Alright' is missing. The only interesting thing is that it includes her rendition of 'You Turn Me On', which was previously only available on a film soundtrack. Other than that, it's more of the same and only interesting for fans.

I love 100% Pure Love and a couple of others, but I was very disappointed that they didn't have the version of "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" that made her blow up. For me it's about the whole quality package, not a quantity of songs on a CD, which explains why I rated it as low as I did.

I know the 20th Century Masters collections get a bad rap but I rather like them. They happen to be moderately priced collections with excellent remastering with a handful of the artist's most popular hits. This collection of Crystal Waters features her biggest hits ("Gypsy Woman", "100% Pure Love") plus lesser known songs ("Just A Freak" and her remake of "The Girl From Ipanema" reworked into "The Boy From Ipanema"). It doesn't include two of my favourite Waters tracks, "Relax" and "Say...If You Feel Alright", but this is still a good collection especially if you like '90s house music.

I was very pleased with my crystal waters cd looking forward to ordering more cds

Had her previous greatest hits, and this one is much better. Always wanted, "You Turn Me On." That is a hard one to find.

Most of the songs on this compilation I know. The songs not included here for the exception of "Relax" do not take away for the quality of the cd. "Say...If You Feel Alright" is just fine not being here and "Spin Me" is enjoyable but almost laughable.A great cd regardless what other people think. Favourite Tracks:#'s 1,2,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,&12.

This collection YUK!, why do they include non-hits that aren't that good!, I would recommend better the 1999 collection "The Best Of Crystal Waters", but I'm waiting for a real collection that includes "What I Need" , the new dance club hits "Come On Down" and "My Time", and the fast version of "Relax"(Lorimmer Remix Edit), I Know Gypsy, 100% Pure Love are her greatest hits, but this collection do not showcase her supreme dance queen title, I dunno know this collection just sux...not worth even the great cheap price. Not worth it.
