Format:Audio CD
Although it's not a complete hits set, I'm still giving this 5 stars because there are so many great songs here.
Without a doubt, Crystal is the most underrated country female artist today. She rarely gets any recognition on country radio stations, GAC, or CMT. Yet, this talented woman had two very successful decades of consistent hits, including 18 #1 hits.
What was so great about Crystal was that she didn't see country radio as having restraints. She introduced country audiences to all kinds of sounds and styles of music. The best thing about buying a Crystal album was that you never got the same kind of songs as the previous one. You were always going to be pleasently surprised. What a talent this lady is.
This set covers mostly her 70s hits, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. What Crystal fans are waiting for though is a complete boxed set or maybe re-issues of all her albums. Until then, this is a great set of some of Crystal's bests songs.

Format:Audio CD
This is the first Crystal Gayle collection to cover her various labels from 1975 thru 1986, her peak hit making years. There are a few tracks missing, "Our Love Is On A Faultline" for instance. But this is a great collection regardless. A few interesting notes about this set. There are few alternate versions on here. "Beyond You" is the 1979 recording, not the 1975 version. "When I Dream" is the original 1975 version and not the 1979 hit version.
Most of Crystal's albums have been reissued on CD somewhere in the world, but a boxed set would be nice. In the meantime this is a great collection of some of her biggest hits.

They left out "The Blue Side"... an important Columbia recording. They also snuck in a different (and inferior)version of "When I Dream" without giving the consumer fair notice they were getting a version different from they one they remember from the radio...It's really hard to empathize with big label woes when they pull stunts like that and otherwise honest music buyers have a another reason to turn to P2P networks..

I had forgotten how great Crystal is.
I had forgotten what a strong, beautiful voice Crystal has. You do not have to be a country fan to enjoy this album.
