| | Cyndi Lauper Collection CD Cyndi Lauper Discography of CDs
This box set compiles three of Cyndi Lauper's most well-known and beloved records: She's So Unusual, True Colors, and Hat Full of Stars. The 35 songs found on these three discs span the most important years of Lauper's evolution as an artist, from freaked-out pop star hell-bent on pushing the creative pop envelope to its hilt to more introspective and contemplative moments. A wide range of her most well-known songs are here, including "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," "True Colors," and "Time After Time," but there are also other fan favorites like her cover of Prince's "When You Were Mine" and "She Bop." While most people would be just as well off to make the more economically sensible purchase of a greatest-hits compilation, those looking for the complete records remastered with bonus tracks would be well served by checking this out. ~ Rob Theakston

Purchase Collection CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Van Halen II CD (1979) Remastered
Collection album
 $8.59    
While it's tough to follow up a classic, VAN HALEN II comes close to matching the brilliance of the band's debut. Once again, the record begins with a fat bass line from Michael Anthony, and his piercing background vocals are featured on "You're No Good," an explosive cover of the Linda Ronstadt tune.
While the group's early material was slightly too heavy for Top 40 airplay, here they take a commercial stab with the brilliant "Dance the Night Away" and "Beautiful Girls." "Somebody Get Me a Doctor" features the trademark wails of David Lee Roth, and Eddie Van Halen's magical soloing. Alex Van Halen's playing takes a slightly complex turn on "Outta Love Again" with some funky drum fills. Eddie shows his versatility with the gorgeous, flamenco-styled solo "Spanish Fly." The ...
| | Cyndi Lauper At Last CD (2003)
Collection CD music
$7.59
Beneath the kooky persona she has projected in the past, Cyndi Lauper is a nice New York City girl with quite a set of pipes. AT LAST finds her revisiting the music she heard growing up in Ozone Park section of Queens and paying tribute to these songs by way of unique arrangements. Going beyond the typical route of solely dipping into the great American standards songbook, Lauper casts her net far and wide, coming up with material associated with Dionne Warwick, the Animals, and Edith Piaf.
Among her more imaginative renditions are the ska-fueled run through "On the Sunny Side of the Street" and the Latin-flavored treatment of Maurice Williams' "Stay," featuring help from Sheila E. and a delightfully brassy horn section. Stevie Wonder also helps out, contributing harmonica to a jazzy "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)," a song originally recorded by Aretha Franklin and Tony Bennett, the latter who duets with Lauper on a late-night lounge version of "Makin' Whoopee." Working with the kind of stripped-down arrangements sympathetic to her ...
| | Cyndi Lauper The Body Acoustic CD (2005) DualDisc
Collection music CDs
$16.69 
This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
1980s pop icon Cyndi Lauper updates the sound of each of her signature songs on this 2005 collaboration-heavy release. The quality of Lauper's catalogue serves to remind listeners that she was much more than an MTV flash-in-the-pan. As the title suggests, the instrumentation is largely acoustic, yet the songs sound as energized as ever, especially cuts that provide unexpected surprises, like the Shaggy cameo on the countrified reading of "All Through the Night."
Sarah McLauchlan lends her voice to the always-lovely "Time After Time," Vivian Green and Ani DiFranco appear on "Sisters of Avalon," and Kelly Osbourne contributes to the classic romp "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." Lauper contributes two new songs to the set, and her singing is more assured than ever, making THE BODY ACOUSTIC a sure winner for old fans and newcomers alike. The DualDisc Edition includes a DVD featuring a 20 minute film on ...
