5.0 out of 5 stars It's So Unusual!, May 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Cyndi Lauper (Audio CD)

This is a terrific compilation that I bought for some near-impossible to find rare songs:

1) "what a thrill" a kinetic song from her former band, blue angel.
2). "hole in my heart," from the film "Vibes"
3.) "cold," written in russia with russian song writers, this is a true gem that only appeared on a compilation disc, long out of print.
4). "the world is stone," from the french stage musical, "Tycoon." (Though this soundtrack was once available on CD, it is impossible to find! This heart-breaking song also appears as a video on her "Twelve Deadly Cyns" video.)
5). "Goonies," from "the Goonies," a perenially fun song.

Beyond these rareties, the Aussies have chosen many off-beat songs to represent Cyndi's ouvre, and, I for one, really appreciate this! For instance, "911" features a cameo by Pee Wee Herman! "Yeah Yeah," seemingly a throw-away track from her first CD, is actually hillarious, with Cyndi doing her best Helen Kane impression. And, "broken glass" is a devastating little ditty about domestic violence that sits beside the safer "single" from "Hat Full Of Stars," "That's What I think."

Three cheers for OZ! Their down-under sensiblity has turned this compilation on its head and we are better for it!

The name Cyndi Lauper brings music lyrics to my mind . I listened in the 80's and she never left me . My recent purchase has made me very happy since i have been trying to get this 3 cd set for quite a while. Anyways I will treasure this forever. Vol 1. Has many of her classics with 15 songs altogether. Vol 2 Features Change of Heart, I Drove All night and You Dont Know , along with 12 other songs. Vol. 3 has 14 songs and a few are: Witness, I'll Kiss You and I Dont Want To Be Your Friend. If you are a Cyndi Lauper fan from day 1 this is a good choice of variety to have in 1 set. 44 songs of Cyndi truly amazing.

The complaints below simply aren't warrented. Cheap packaging? They come in 3 standard plastic cases, songs are listed on the back, picture insert on the front. The 3 cases are inserted in a sturdy paper cd set container. What's cheap about that? So what if there's no booklet. I wouldn't read it anyway. And poor sound quality?? There's nothing at all wrong with the sound. All original songs, lots of them and at a bargain price! Worth every penny!
