Import-only collection from the acclaimed singer/songwriter spanning the first 12 years of her successful career and featuring tracks from her first five albums that she recorded for the Elektra label. When Tracy first appeared on the music scene in 1988, her self-titled debut album was heavily influenced by the classic singer/songwriter scene of the '70s and was a refreshing alternative to the over-produced dross that most of the labels were releasing at the time. 16 tracks including her first big hit 'Fast Car' plus other radio hits and great album tracks like 'Crossroads', 'Telling Stories' and 'Give Me One Reason'. Warner. 2001. Review: Great - Perfect product, fast shipping. Review: Thank you. - Great Music to Hear.

Use old CD players or older software for playback and downloads to MP3 players
When we first downloaded this CD to our MP3 player from our laptop with Windows 7, the playback had a loud raspy sound over the music. We thought the CD was defective as the disc holder arrived broken in transit. However, we played the CD in our home theater CD player and the music sounded just fine. We made a final attempt to download to our MP3 player using an older laptop with Vista and the playback sounded just fine. We'd recommend using older software versions if you're looking to download to your MP3 player. We love Tracy Chapman and would recommend her music.

Awesome Collection: Tracy is Awesome Beyond Measure
This is a wonderful collection of songs from various albums Tracy has done over the years. I love every track and wish more could have been added. Tracy is such a deep, authentic "real" artist. Her passion and talent is present in every word song. She is a powerhouse and deserves far more credit than she has received. This seller is over seas, so be prepared to wait for your CD. Their prices are great.

Love her.
I love me some Tracy Chapman. She has some really good heartfelt music. I have been listening to her since she came out in like 1987 or so. She is just so great and very talented.

Great Introduction of Tracy Chapman!
I had always loved her music and wanted to buy a GH cd. I am glad I did. Some singer's songs can be too moody so as to be depressing, but Tracy Chapman knows how to move you without immersing herself into the depths of despair. I love her delivery, her swing, her feel for words. This is a great introduction to a great artist, if you didn't want to buy all her CDs. Please invest your time in discovering Tracy Chapman, if you've heard of this talented singer-songwriter!

The Absolute Perfect Collection
I knew Fast Car from years ago, but never really heard much else from Tracy until I listened to a friends CD. I loved what I heard. Not knowing which one of her CD's to buy, I figured this Collection would be the best start. And I am not disappointed at all. This is perfection. Her words are so insightful and music so together. This is just perfect for anyone who isn't all that familiar with her work as well as those who have all her CD's.

Ever since I first heard her eponymous debut album, I've been in love with Tracy Chapman's work. Her unique vocals manage to sound fragile but warm, positive, hopeful, heartwarming and strong at the same time. It is a voice that draws you in to an extent that I've never experienced before or since: you forget that the world outside of your room exists while listening to her music and it feels like she's in the room performing just for you. But of course every great voice also needs great songs to perform and Tracy Chapman has these in abundance too. Her talents as a songwriter match her outstanding voice; she's a fantastic storyteller on the more personal songs and an equally good social commentator on the politically centred songs, be it the (at the time) changing situation in South Africa or life in the ghettos of the US. When she's singing unaccompanied, it's a spine tingling experience; but the other tracks are just as good, with the clever, sparse use of a huge variety of instruments only adding to the atmosphere she creates. Every track on this collection is excellent and worthy of 5 stars by itself, making this CD an essential purchase. However, that's only part of the story: almost every track on every one of her albums is of the same astonishingly high standard and you really should own them all.

若い頃にFast Carを聴いて、衝撃をうけ、ずっとテープで聴いていました。 たまたま、海外の番組でTracy Chapmanが出ているのを見て懐かしくて思わず購入。 やっぱり、伸びやかな歌声にうっとりです。
