5 out of 5 stars Divine Diva .......2006-06-13

A fantastic 2CD greatest hits collection with all the hits, old and new!

5 out of 5 stars at last a proper greatest hits!.......2005-09-05

This is the greatest hits with the same cover as the 2 other simpler versions. But don't let it fool you as this is an australian import which gets it right with a full 42 tracks in total. This is a must have with nearly 2 1/2 hours of music. Excellent value, pity it hasn't been noticed by too many people! Many songs including quite a few 70's tracks right up to the last album with 5 of its tracks on this cd from "living proof". Some quite rare songs on here to that not many people would have heard before, check it out!

5 out of 5 stars Very Best of Cher is Just That!.......2005-09-01

This is one of the most awesome compilations of songs spanning Cher's decades-long career! From the earliest to the most recent of her hits, this CD has it all. Highly recommended for any Cher fan. I just hope she keeps on recording so that one day a huge box set will become available. Enjoy the CD!

5 out of 5 stars History of Pop according to Cher.......2005-02-19

The queen of extravaganza and spectacular comebacks sums up on album "The Very Best Of" astonishing forty years of her career, which brought unforgettable worldwide hits in as many as five decades! No other star achieved this status as a solo artist.

This is a full two-CD version of this compilation with 42 songs - almost all her European & US hits from all labels she recorded for and some rarities as well. Fans can also find here all 5 US Top 10 hits recorded in duo Sonny & Cher, what is brilliant completion of this collection.

It's an almost excellent compilation. Almost, because it should contain all Cher's (also recorded with Sonny) Top 20 hits from the charts in the USA (Hot 100 and Singles Sales from "Billboard") and in the UK. Unfortunately her record company decided to put some less successful songs. It means that songs: "Train Of Thought", "Save Up All Your Tears", "Not Enough Love In The World", "Alive Again" or even not released as singles "Bang Bang" in new version and "Love Hurts" should be replaced by: "You Better Sit Down Kid", "Love One Another" and recorded with Sonny "Just You", "But You're Mine", "What Now My Love" and "Little Man". Anyway, it's still excellent compilation, because all Cher's songs are great.

And the real treasures for every fan are rare songs: "Bad Love" from the 1980 movie "Foxes" with Jodie Foster, "Rudy" from underrated 1982 album "I Paralyze", a charity 1993 UK #1 single "Love Can Build A Bridge" recorded with Chrissie Hynde, Neneh Cherry and Eric Clapton, "Born With The Hunger" from unique 2000 album "not.commercial" and a 2001 duet with Eros Ramazzotti "Piu che puoi". Adding these rarities was much better idea than recording brand new songs.

Cher has released so many collections of hits so far that her every fan should be very exacting in selecting the best one. "The Very Best Of" is the most perfect, because it sums up forty years of her career. Of course, it's better to choose its comprehensive double CD version with 42 songs. But if you want to have only the most important hits of Cher, you can choose one-CD US version of this title or its special two-CD edition with bonus live disc from her farewell tour, to have these hits in both studio and live versions. It's a music feast for every fan of pop music. That's why Cher is so much successful artist so long. Let's enjoy!
