5.0 out of 5 stars SENSATIONAL COLLECTION!!!!, July 5, 2002

This disc spans twenty-five years in Minnelli's recording career.
I would have paid the cd's price just for the MACARTHUR PARK/DIDN'T WE medley. Total goosebumps. The country infuence for the MAYBE THIS TIME orchestration kicks. COME SATURDAY MORNING and SIMON I hadn't heard since the mid-seventies. Felt like I found lost gold. Treat yourself to this stellar collection!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Ultimate!, January 8, 2002

I have to admit that this is probably the collection by Liza Minnelli that you would get if you were a moderate fan. It includes all of her most popular tunes in spite of poor chart success. There is Cabaret, Maybe This Time, New York New York and the original LP version of the dance hit Losing My Mind with help from The Pet Shop Boys. There are also great remakes like Try To Remember (interesting to hear Liza at an early age!), The Look Of Love, Love For Sale and God Bless The Child. It is also great to hear her popular duet with her mom Together Wherever We Go. Included is Liza's versions of moms Come Rain Or Come Shine, The Man I Love and Stormy Weather.

What is missing that would make this a complete compilation for me is her version of You're So Vain that was released as a single for Liza back in 1974. Her CD Results was very popular for her, they might have included other popular tracks like Love Pains, Rent or Twist In My Soberiety. There is nothing from her movie hit Steppin' Out or her popular Live From Radio City Music Hall CD. There is nothing from her more recent gem Gently released in 1996. It included duets with Johnny Mathis on Chances Are, with Donna Summer on Does He Love You? or You Stepped Out Of A Dream with help from Melissa Manchester and Brenda Russell.

I know this was only one disc and there is large time span here. Everyone may have a different version of this collection to call it an Ultimate. Perhaps there should be a Volume II? I know there could easy be a Volume II. But I hope that if there is another volume, that they don't exclude the most important song that is so hard to get and was released in 1993 called The Day After That from Kiss Of The Spiderwoman. I have the CD single in which has 3 different language versions. It was one of her more recent powerful performances, not to be missed.Truely Ultimate!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ouf of many compilations, this is the one to get, January 17, 2002

.....even though it excludes tracks from "Tropical Nights" (which will FINALLY be released on CD by DRG Records on Feb. 12, 2002), "Gently," the Radio City concert, both Carnegie Hall concerts, and "Minnelli On Minnelli." Still, even a casual fan can appreciate the generous 21-track songlist, especially the socko 1-2-3-4 punch of "The Singer," the film version of "NY, NY," "City Lights" and "Losing My Mind" that closes this set.
Plus, you get "Come Saturday Morning," which has long been unavailable on CD.
