Perfect
This two disc has everything I'd ever want and need by Suzanne Vega. I bought the one disc best of and hated it because there was too much missing. . . The only two albums of hers I have are 99. 9 and 9 Objects of Desire. They are so different form her usual folk fare, but i had to have this best of for "Left of Center", "Marlene on the Wall", "Tom's Diner" and a few others. But I like the stuff I've never heard before.
Ms. Vega's voice IS an acquired taste; it's flat, but the right arrangements can make up for that. . . like Mitchell Froom's two production jobs on 99. 9 and 9 Objects.
If you are new to Suzanne Vega, this is the best place to start. . . and maybe all the SV you'll ever need.

AND

My DVD plays! It IS an import but they made an NTSC version as well as PAL. I got lucky; I bought this for the cds, never planning to be able to watch the DVD, but I stuck it in my player, and son of a gun! videos!.


Great CD but DVD does not play in Region 1
This is do to restrictions enacted to prevent pirating. This is a great collection of Suzanne's work but please be aware that the DVD will not play in Region 1 (USA).


The collection worth buying
I'm content having her 6 original CD's, but if I were to buy a compilation, this would be my choice. It's pricey, but this includes a second CD containing some of the greatest Suzanne Vega songs that were inexplicably missing from the "regular" Retrospective CD, as well as a DVD of 12 music videos. Half of the "extra" CD consists of material I consider Ms. Vega's absolute best, and I'd feel cheated buying a retrospective lacking them. I think one could luxuriate in this collection.
