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.

The quality of this collection is excellent; the packaging is simple and neat.... I'd like to see more of these Playlists...

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*

This is a wonderful collection. I recently discovered the True Colors duet with Sarah McLachlan, and I loved it so much I cried a little. It was a treat to see it in this collection.

I do have to dock points for the DRM-infested garbage on which it is recorded. It won't even play it on my computer. Thank you, Sony, for once again penalizing honest people while the music pirates find a way around your nonsense.

One of the best cds regarding the great songs that cyndi Lauper has sung. My favorite is : I drove all night.

This CD contain most of Cyndi's best collection. If you are her fan than you must to have one of this CD.

This is a so-so collection. Is it the best depends on what songs you just gotta have. The basics are here. Even though more songs are from "She's So Unusual" than any other album, I could still take another or two. It was her "masterpiece" after all. Now if you're dying to get "Goonies R Good Enough" you'll want the Essential collection. It's roughly the same as this, swapping a few tracks. For years fans have wanted her Vibes movie song "Hole In My Heart (all the way to China)". To the best of my knowledge that's found on the Japanese import version of "Twelve Deadly Cyns" or the Australian 2-disc collection "True Colors". It's also on a "Hits of 88" disc somewhere out there. At this point it's clear we need a 2-disc "Very Best" collection. I'm sure that's not far away...

We got this CD for our 13 yr old daughter for Christmas. She listens to it all the time! It also arrived when Amazon said it would!

I bought this for my daughter - she is a huge Cyndi Lauper fan. This is a great collection of Cyndi's songs. It covers a wide range of songs and highlights Cyndi's unique abilities. Even if you have Cyndi's other albums, this one is sure to be a keeper in your collection. I know that this CD will get played over and over.

I am going to see my first Lauper concert and wanted one of her CD's to listen to her music. This is just what I was looking for.
