The Collection 1989-2003 (Box Set) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

"The Collection 1989-2003" is a box with a total of 13 CDs and 5 DVDs. It contains the 5 albums of her tenure at Arista each in the new Deluxe Editions (2CD + DVD) by Edsel and the new remix Anthology (3CD) that there are also each individual to buy. Apart from the slipcase box has nothing extraordinary, but it is (currently) more favorable than the single purchase of 6 albums.

01 Affection (Deluxe Edition 2CD + DVD)
02 Real Love (Deluxe Edition 2CD + DVD)
03 So Natural (Deluxe Edition 2CD + DVD)
04 Lisa Stansfield (Deluxe Edition 2CD + DVD)
05 Face Up (Deluxe Edition 2CD + DVD)
06 People Hold On - The Remix Anthology (3CD)

There was already a box "The Complete Collection" which includes the new editions published in 2003 this 5 albums. These 5 albums, there were individually, they were each in digipak 1CD each with a couple of bonus tracks (usually B-sides and single Maxis / Remixes).

01 Affection 1989
02 Real Love 1991
03 So Natural 1993
04 Lisa Stansfield (the untitled album from 1997)
05 Face Up in 2001
06 Live / Rare / Mixed

At that time still an exclusive CD "Live / Rare / Mixed" contains 3 songs of their first band Blue Zone (one of them unpublished), 2 B-sides, 2 live recordings (Wembley 1992 single B-sides) and 3 Remixes (originally published on Maxis).

The new box does not contain everything that was included at that time, in particular lack the 3 songs of Blue Zone. Moreover, it would have been nice if the album of Blue Zone in this context (again) had been published.

I have not checked all the details, I think the B-sides and Maxis / Remixes are completely in the new box. The Maxis / remixes are on the albums or their bonus CDs, as well as on - distributed "People Hold On The Remix Anthology". The Remix Anthology also contains a couple of previously unreleased mixes. I'm not quite sure, but it seems to me as if not all "Bootleg mixes" of "People Hold on" included, but this is sure to get over. Unfortunately Also missing some songs that did not exist on Lisa's albums or singles but only on soundtracks or albums of other artists:
* First of all, the BlueZone album and the tracks of the singles / Maxis
* "People Hold On" by Coldcut feat. Lisa Stansfield in Original (various mixes, Album Version, Single, etc., only one is on the Maxi Remix Anthology included)
* "My Telephone" (Coldcut feat. Lisa Stansfield)
* "Down in the Depths" (on "Biography: The Greatest Hits" included)
* "Make it Right"
* "Dream Away"
* "The Longer We Make Love" (Barry White & LS)
* "You Keep Me Hangin 'On"
* "These Are the Days of Our Lives" by The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (on "Biography: The Greatest Hits" included)
* And then the "Swing" soundtrack.

The albums are each remastered, in a Digipak with extended booklet, new liner notes, song lyrics and photos. Unfortunately, the cover photo reproductions are rather blurred and has refrained from the respective stock to take over design of the booklet. The Remix Antholgy comes in Digipak with liner notes, lyrics and photos.

The DVDs each contain the promo videos for the singles of each album, sometimes live clips and a new interview (2014) with LS for each album. In "affection", there is the concert recording "All Around the World - Live in Birmingham in 1990", the untitled album "Lisa Stansfield" the concert recording "An Intimate Evening - Live at Riverside Studios in 1997" and "Face up" the live recording " Live at Ronnie Scott's 2002 ". These were previously not yet or not fully published in part, only "Ronnie Scott's" there has been regular on DVD.

On each album I will not go into here, you can read reviews to elsewhere. The box and the individual new releases are definitely recommended, if only because of the many B-sides, soundtrack contributions and other bonus tracks. Probably no one will any maxis and remixes contained like, but there are also some successful each case. About the distribution of remixes on the album and the remix Anthology could certainly discuss. But the overall package is highly recommended for Soul Pop friends.
