EAN: 0067003010528 Format: Import Label: Nettwerk Int'l Manufacturer: Nettwerk Int'l Number Of Discs: 1 Publication Date: 1997 Publisher: Nettwerk Int'l Release Date: June 17, 1996 Studio: Nettwerk Int'l Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The Sarah McLachlan cottage industry rolls with Rarities. This disc of hard-to-finds and extended remixes offers some choice morsels for casual fans and a whole plateful for the faithful. The Freedom Sessions proved that McLachlan can do some nice stuff with a cover tune, and she offers a sweet handful here. Fellow Canadians Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell get lushed-out respectively with "Song For A Winter's Night" and "Blue," and McLachlan also works her magic with XTC's "Dear God" and the Billie Holiday classic "Gloomy Sunday." Each is dark, but engaging, like so much of McLachlan's own material, including this set's brooding "Full of Grace" and "I Will Remember You." --Michael Ruby Album Description: Never released in the U.S., this 1996 collection features 13of the Canadian singer/ songwriter's best B-sides, covers, rarities & soundtrack contributions, 1987-1996.

A Nettwerk release. The full title is 'Rarities, B-sides, And Other Stuff'. Album Details: Includes Various Rarities and B-Sides Previously Unavailable Elsewhere.

 Rating:  - Great CD!I must admit that I don't usually like reviewing CD's and I must admit that I only listen to a few songs on this CD but if it came with only those songs, it would still be worth it. I've been a Sarah fan for quite some time and, by accident, I discovered she did a hauntingly beautiful cover of "Gloomy Sunday." I searched high and low to find that this song was only on the CD Rarities, B-sides & Other Stuff which I promptly bought off of amazon. Unfortunately, the first CD ... Read More Rating:  - More songs should have been includedRarities, B-Sides, and Other Stuff is a collection of remixed songs(Fear, Shelter, As The End Draws Near, Vox, Into the Fire, Possession), and songs Sarah McLachlan covered(XTC's Dear God, Gordon Lightfoot's Song For A Winter's night, Joni Mitchel's Blue); recorded live(Drawn To The Rhythm, Gloomy Sunday); and written and contributed for several films(I Will Remember You for Brothers McMullen, Full Of Grace for Moll Flanders). The controversial Dear God is raging and emotional. Melancholic ... Read More Rating: - Exquisite!Sarah is at her best here. Her beautiful and one-of-a-kind voice could never be matched by anyone else. Even without all the techno and brilliant synths, she would stand above most any other vocalist out there today! I have had this album for years, and have never grown tired of it. What a God-send Sarah is! Rating: - It's all about who you think of when you listen to this.....This CD has the most incredible rendition of A Winter's Night that I've ever heard. And you know those moments in your life when music can bring something back to you, so close, so intense-- that you can breathe it, feel it, live it all again? What a gift that is. I swear this music gives parts of my life back to me all over again and it is truly bittersweet. This is for heartache, for beauty, and for life-- and for whoever you will always love, deeply and completely, without thought, sense or reservation. ... Read More Rating: - I bought it for "I Will Remember You" and now I love the whole album! If you have never heard of Sarah McLachlan then it is time you were properly introduced! This is such a great cd! Forget the fact that it's an import and that you may have to pay a little extra for it! It's worth EVERY penny!! Sarah McLachlan has a voice that is both captivating and wonderfully haunting. I find this cd relaxing, but not so much that you drift off. Alot of Sarah's lyrics are very good, as well! A good number of them provoke thoughts in one area or another. As for her songs themselves....some ... Read More |
