Review - :
This excellent overview of {$Vega}'s career contains all the hits and a fair sampling from each of her five albums, though {^Days of Open Hand} receives a cold shoulder (only {&"Book of Dreams"} represents it here), being a critical and personal failure. The CD as a whole shows that while {$Vega} has stayed fairly consistent as a songwriter, her growth has been marked in the collaborations with various producers, from the spare, simplistic sound stages of {$Steve Addabbo} and {$Lenny Kaye} to the lush metallurgy of {$Mitchell Froom} and {$Tchad Blake}. The collection also features that bane of fans, the exclusive track, necessitating purchasing the CD when one owns all the other material. However, these two new songs -- {&"Book & a Cover"} and {&"Rosemary"} -- are quality entries in {$Vega}'s songbook, and once again feature the production skills of {$Froom} and {$Blake}. ~ Ted Mills, All Music Guide
