Wow. Well this has been a very long time coming. Of course, two CDs won't cover Cher's releases and for the insane Cher fans - well, you will have to wait for the box set. This GOLD CD, however, is a gem. I have NEVER heard ALFIE sound like this I had to play it 5X in a row and then it rocks right into this amazing remaster of THE BEAT GOES ON - I didn't know how my speakers picked up this clarity.

Geffen somehow secured the rights to these recordings to RE-RELEASE them after Cher's multi-platinum THE VERY BEST OF CHER that coincided with the winding up of her outrageously successful Farewell Tour. The European version of her hits was a 2 disk affair that had a lot of wonderful Cher hits.

THIS CD has most of Cher's top 40s but most importantly it is chronological and so there is a beauty in hearing the vocal changes stylistically, artistically and age encumbering that have made Cher one of the greatest vocalists of all time. She deserves this type of treatment. The songs are remastered so amazingly you will wonder why we had to hear them in their previous versions - is is THAT GOOD!

The clarity is amazing. Buy this for yourself and a friend. Everyone secretly (and not so secretly) loves Cher.

Cher is amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! (Almost) All Cher's U.S. hits in one collection!, August 11, 2005

There are lots of Cher "Greatest Hits" CDs out there, but this is the only one with all (except one: the #25 hit "Where Do You Go" is left off in favor of non-hit track "Love Hurts") of her U.S. hits. The sound quality is amazing, better than any Cher CD I have heard (and I have heard all of them). The remastering job is awesome, and it serves "Alfie" (Cher's hit first, thank you) and "The Way Of Love" particularly well; unguessed layers of those songs rise to the surface. A terrific remastering job throughout!

For hardcore and casual Cher fans alike, this is THE hits collection from this talented, captivating artist.

(Please note that the remix of "Heart of Stone" included here is the version released as the hit single in 1990. This is not a "dance remix" of the song, but the version from the radio that we all know and love.)
