 This is the only good version of "Closer"...the single disc one is too skimpy... October 8, 2008

It really is...too much missing for the true Sarahphile...if that was the only version available, better to download the 2 new tracks. This double is much more like it...the best 3 songs from "Touch" REMASTERED, the best 4 songs from "Solace" REMASTERED...then the most popular 5 songs from FTE, in a good context with the mesmerizing title track as Disc 1's closer, perfect.
Then Disc 2 has the hits from "Surfacing", the live hit of "I Will Remember You" from "Mirrorball", the 4 hits from her "comeback" album "Afterglow", then the 2 new songs "Don't Give Up On Us" & "U Want Me 2"...bringing things up to date, AND then ending the program with 3 worthy radio remixes and the sought-after, soundtrack & rarities-disc exclusive and superior studio version of "I Will Remember You".
Add a nice picture-and-art-filled booklet and simple-but-classy digipack packaging, and this is as good a Sarah anthology/hits collection as you can get, without there being a boxset. Not sure if there will ever BE a boxset, as Sarah had just left her sole, longtime US label Arista for her own label/internet releases, so "Closer" (apt title too) is a perfect label wrapup project...until her next album/next chapter.
Word of advice...if you are just a very basic radio/hits/casual Sarah fan, the single disc will do...HOWEVER, if you want more, are a bigger fan/admirer/friend, or want to look for a really good overview and deeper look than just the radio hits...
ONLY go for the double deluxe, ONLY.
Citing poor sound, etc January 31, 2009

it seems inexplicable that a collection like this shouldnt have the best sound
Perhaps this is why BMG UK are delaying the 3(?) disc set to March 09, to fix this, in spite of loosing thousands of disc sales from UK importers since June 08 when it came out here.
No shortage of USA copies C:TBOSM on Amazon .uk, etc

I have no idea why people are complaining about the sound quality... Mine sounded just great to me. As always, Sarah delivers. I wish she'd come out with a new studio work. It's been a long time.
Great compilation of hits! October 17, 2008

Sarah McLachlan is one of the greatest vocalist of our time and this double CD is a reflection of some her best songs in the past decade. This a great introduction to someone new to her music. For an existing fan, who doesn't own all her records, this is the perfect way to fill the gap in your collection. As a bonus, it has a couple of new tracks. This is indeed, one of the best compilations released this year. Great buy!
Brilliant as always November 4, 2008

A great compilation. The inclusion of her earlier material really shows her growth as an artist. I already had all but the new material,but the new material alone is worth the price of admission. In 20 years I have never been disappointed by a Sarah Mclachlan album. She consistently releases stunningly beautiful high quality music.
