Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Never released in the U.S., this 1996 collection features 13of the Canadian singer/ songwriter's best B-sides, covers, rarities & soundtrack contributions, 1987-1996. Housed in a double gatefold slipcase, it includes 'Possession' (Rabbit In The Moon Remix), 'I Will Remember You' (from the film 'Last Of The Mohicans'), covers of XTC's 'Dear God', Gordon Lightfoot's 'Song For A Winter's Night' & Joni Mitchell's 'Blue', plus live cuts & more mixes! A Nettwerk release. The full title is 'Rarities, B-sides, And Other Stuff'.

Amazon.com:
The Sarah McLachlan cottage industry rolls with Rarities. This disc of hard-to-finds and extended remixes offers some choice morsels for casual fans and a whole plateful for the faithful. The Freedom Sessions proved that McLachlan can do some nice stuff with a cover tune, and she offers a sweet handful here. Fellow Canadians Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell get lushed-out respectively with 'Song For A Winter's Night' and 'Blue,' and McLachlan also works her magic with XTC's 'Dear God' and the Billie Holiday classic 'Gloomy Sunday.' Each is dark, but engaging, like so much of McLachlan's own material, including this set's brooding 'Full of Grace' and 'I Will Remember You.' --Michael Ruby

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rarities, gems and other precious items
If you are one of those who prefers music with lyrics you can dive into and explore, this is an album for you. If you prefer music that is a richly layered tapestry of instruments, this is also an album for you. Wow!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great CD!
I must admit that I don't usually like reviewing CD's and I must admit that I only listen to a few songs on this CD but if it came with only those songs, it would still be worth it.

I've been a Sarah fan for quite some time and, by accident, I discovered she did a hauntingly beautiful cover of "Gloomy Sunday." I searched high and low to find that this song was only on the CD Rarities, B-sides & Other Stuff which I promptly bought off of amazon.

Unfortunately, the first ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - More songs should have been included
Rarities, B-Sides, and Other Stuff is a collection of remixed songs(Fear, Shelter, As The End Draws Near, Vox, Into the Fire, Possession), and songs Sarah McLachlan covered(XTC's Dear God, Gordon Lightfoot's Song For A Winter's night, Joni Mitchel's Blue); recorded live(Drawn To The Rhythm, Gloomy Sunday); and written and contributed for several films(I Will Remember You for Brothers McMullen, Full Of Grace for Moll Flanders).

The controversial Dear God is raging and emotional. Melancholic ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Exquisite!
Sarah is at her best here. Her beautiful and one-of-a-kind voice could never be matched by anyone else. Even without all the techno and brilliant synths, she would stand above most any other vocalist out there today! I have had this album for years, and have never grown tired of it. What a God-send Sarah is!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's all about who you think of when you listen to this.....
This CD has the most incredible rendition of A Winter's Night that I've ever heard. And you know those moments in your life when music can bring something back to you, so close, so intense-- that you can breathe it, feel it, live it all again? What a gift that is. I swear this music gives parts of my life back to me all over again and it is truly bittersweet. This is for heartache, for beauty, and for life-- and for whoever you will always love, deeply and completely, without thought, sense or reservation. ... Read More
