4.0 out of 5 stars While this is not as rare as the first raritie CD, it's well worth getting, May 16, 2008

By	R. Kyle (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Just hearing Sarah and Emmylou Harris together is worth the price, "Angel" is, and probably will always be, one of my favorite of Sarah's songs. I didn't think anyone could add to this song--but Emmylou did.

I love the "Time after Time" with Cyndi Lauper. It's slower than the original Lauper song and in many ways, more thoughtful. I think Sarah adds the dimension to the song I was always missing. I like it better with her there.

And, what can I say about "Homeless?" Ladysmith Black Mambazo is one of the most amazing a cappella groups around. This is a lovely song no matter how it's done.

As I said, not as rare as the first volume, but the sound quality is great and it's well worth the price. I'm glad to hear Sarah McLachlan is back in the studios again. I hope to hear something new from her soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rarities B II, May 5, 2008

By	Anne Marie Donadio (Dedham , MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really love the collection of songs on this CD but wish there was some orginal content. That being said, I heard Sarah is back recording and that next year may be likely for a new studio release. I think Netwerk is just keeping the skids greased. I certainly don't mind. Anything by Sarah keeps me happy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing..., September 11, 2008

This collection, while great for the Sarah fan, hardly measures up to the first B Sides collection release, and some of the material is mediocre at best. Now I see she's releasing a greatest hits collection, which although I'm sure is prompted by the record company, I expect more from Sarah artistically. We have not had new material of quality from her since Afterglow. The recent press release about her split with husband indicates she is looking to release new material in the next 2 years. So, here's hoping patience is rewarded. The new material will probably reflect her emotional fallout from her relationship with her husband, so I would anticipate some intense writing on the next album.
