Editorial Reviews

Welcome to the Playlist series. Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists' complete body of work. We've fished through hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.

You’ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3's that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Varied and Bright (Sort of Like the Artist Herself), December 31, 2009

There are so many Cyndi compilations out there that anyone seeking the most representative will likely have a great deal trouble making the appropriate selection. I'm a fan, but I'm not sure which package I'd recommend to a newbie myself. There are a couple of things that this recent sampler has going for it, though. First off, is the price. That'll be subject to change over time, but likely not by much. Second, the packaging is eco-friendly and that will make a lot of listeners feel good about their purchase. But most importantly, this record really does represent just about the entirety of Cyndi's career to date. The mid-90s collection TWELVE DEADLY CYNS had a lot going for it, BUT it was weighted so heavily towards the first record that almost any listener would be justified in wondering whether she'd actually done anything significant after SHE'S SO UNUSUAL. This collection doesn't include anything from her much neglected HATFUL OF STARS album, and champions of her "comeback" AT LAST album might feel slighted on seeing nothing included from that release. Still there's enough here to satisfy fans AND to pique the curiosity of the uninitiated. That's a lot for a bargain price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just ANOTHER Cyndi Lauper hits album., April 8, 2009

I am a moderate Cyndi Lauper fan, and I have waited a long time for one CD that includes all her hits. I usually turn my nose up at CDs like this one that showcase only some of the hits along with lesser-known material; however I have to say that on this CD: It works. One-hundred-percent, it works.

This CD really showcases the breadth of Cyndi Lauper the artist. I'd recommend this CD to anyone who didn't absolutely hate Cyndi Lauper. And does anyone? Oh, and all the recordings here sound terrific. Only gripe: The version of "She Bop" is not the version form the radio; it's the one from the album. *sigh*
