Essential Sarah cd August 20th

[azgypsy]

Amazon.com and a few other sites are listing this cd coming out Aug 20th. Any guesses what will be on it?
Here's hoping it's not just a repackaging of Closer. Maybe more radio edits that are harder to find?

It's being released by Sony/Legacy, so it's probably a 'Best Of'. Legacy is releasing a lot of Essential albums on the same date. Though it would be great if they throw in something that we don't already have on CD, like "What's It Gonna Take"

Some sites have the 2 Disc version (Best Buy/Amazon) while CDUniverse has 1

The cover!! I love it!! Thanks for posting the link, I love new pictures of Sarah!

Edit: this is a mix of her albums and the two Rarities. People who will buy this will probably be surprised to hear Dear God. Also: "Witness Live", where's this version from? Afterglow Live?

[azgypsy]

Thank you for the tracklist! Pretty decent collection.

[Miguel]

This might be a bit better as it is a mix of all her previous releases, unlike Closer, which was a release of her singles.

Thanks Miguel! I was able to get the high resolution cover of the album, so if someone wants it, just tell me!

After almost half a year later, I was able to find this CD in store! The booklet had a particular FTE (maybe Solace?) pic I've never seen

is it new or not?

Also, the songs seemed to have been remastered all over again (for the better). The differences are very noticeable within the 'Touch' and 'Solace' tracks, compared to the ones in 'Closer'

Miquel, do they sound a lot different from the original album tracks, or is this something only an audiophile would notice?

Quite a close-up. I'd guess from the Touch period.

Thanks for the picture, I've never seen it before either.
To me, it looks like a Solace picture, but it's very hard to say.
