This has a few tracks I'm not real familiar with. I've looked 2 of them up, & they were soundtracks. There's a few more I need to research when I have time; I'm sad to say I may actually need this to maintain a complete collection.

Of the non-album tracks, here's what I quickly come up with...

• "Silence" is her featured vocal with Delerium, and the running time suggests this is the Album Version Edit found on various singles and the Brokedown Palace soundtrack.
• "When She Loved Me" is from the Toy Story 2 soundtrack, "The Rainbow Connection" is from the For The Kids compilation, "Time After Time" is from Cyndi Lauper's The Body Acoustic album, and "Ordinary Miracle" is from the Charlotte's Web soundtrack. All of these tracks are also included on the second volume of Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff.
• "Don't Give Up On Us" and "U Want Me 2" are from the Closer compilation.

BTW, here's a good online McLachlan resource.

Tricky, thanks! I've got Rarities 2 so I'm good there (I must not have been too impressed with the cd since I didn't even remember owning it until I looked it up on my database!. I THINK I only have mp3's of the 2 Closer tracks ( my business has the 1 disc edition in stock & I could nab one) , & don't THINK I have have the Delerium (but how much of it is Sarah, & how much is Delrium?).

I also have to check my actual collection; after buying 10 million versions of Illusions I made a home made comp with all the bonus trax & the 2 Closer tracks may be on there.

There was a time that I knew all this by memory, but:
A. I was a much bigger fan in the early days (only fan club i EVER joined; reason was to get the fan club ep's) imo her last GREAT album was Fumbling, though I've still been very close to a completest on her.
&
B. I was much younger (as was my memory) in the early days!

There are a lot of mixes out there, but this should be the version included on Essential:




I came on board well after Fumbling's release, so I was already a few EPs behind... never bothered to take the $$$ plunge.

The sticker on the front of the CD proclaims we get "38 classic tracks"...


That'd be easy enough for RCA to fix with new stickers. Unfortunately for them, the insert in the back of CD talks about "These 38 Essential recordings"....


But, I see 17 tracks on disc 1...


...and 19 tracks on disc 2....


Unless I forgot how to add, or I'm just not getting this "new math" stuff, 17+19=36. Right?

Heh, didn't even notice that. The Amazon MP3 link has the corrected tracklist.

I'm assuming that the the live versions of "Push" and "Witness" on Disc Two are taken from Afterglow Live and "River" is taken from Wintersong.

I assume the same. Great version of River (though I'm not sure if there's ever been a bad version, it's such a tremendous song!)

Yes - both Push and Witness are from Afterglow Live, although Push sounds like it's been cleaned up and tinkered with a little.

Of the other two live tracks, Drawn to the Rhythm is from Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff. And other than a 1992 Charlies Playhouse bootleg, I don't have any other live versions of Back Door Man - so it's a new version for me.

River is definitely from Wintersong, and I agree - a great song!

Sarah's 3rd album was a limited edition Canada only Live EP. It is superb. My guess is that Back Door Man (And likely Drawn To The Rhythm) is from there; that version is superior to the studio version. In fact of the hundreds of shows I've seen in my lifetime her Solace tour (which Live is taken from) is tied for the top 3 with Billy Joel's Turnstiles tour & The Tubes Now tour.

used copies have actually gotten quite cheap on Amazon (this used to sell used for $50). I highly recommend nabbing it for $2.67.



1. "Drawn to the Rhythm" Sarah McLachlan 5:15
2. "Back Door Man" McLachlan 4:50
3. "Home" McLachlan 5:45
4. "Lost" McLachlan 6:23
5. "I Will Not Forget You" McLachlan, Darren Phillips 5:55
6. "Black" McLachlan 5:05
7. "Ben's Song" McLachlan 4:5

Done! Thanks!

They must be counting the extra lines for "Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan" and "Cyndi Lauper with Sarah McLachlan"as extra tracks!

Coincidentally, I just ordered this the other day when I realized we didn't have it. Sarah is one of my wife's favorites (and I like her very much too), and I finally broke down and got the two remix albums and then did a quick discography check trying to figure out if the second one ever came out in a rootkit-free version, only to discover this EP that I missed.

I'm a bit disappointed that her iTunes Originals is only available from the Canadian iTunes Store.

I've never seen the second (Solace) with a copyguard/rootkit; only seen Afterglow Live that way.

The permanent solution to the rootkit/copyguard:

Rip with Sly Soft Any DVD combined with EAC. That removes the rootkit/copyguard & gives a quality rip.

Burn to quality cdr.

You now have a copy guard free cd.

Geff,

My fault for not being clearer -- I was referring to her second remix album, Bloom. And I am on Mac, so no EAC for me.

The real key is Sly Soft Any DVD (Google it; I don't think a link is a good idea; but they are a legit software company with a website; & they offer a 30 day free trial) . Don't know if it works with Mac or not. I just mentioned EAC due to it's high quality rips.

Remember back in the early days when the labels sometimes issued promo CDs in attractive alternate packaging? My copy of Solace is one of these:

Nice!

My copy also features an interesting sticker.

So Sarah McLachlan and Bill Withers recorded 2 CDs worth of duets? Who knew?

I'd buy that!
