It comes up on Amazon but says currently unavailable, plus comes with 10 album CDs! Hope it's a real release!

Yes, it's an official release. It looks good by the way

[seanibreeze]

That's fantastic! Do you have any more details about the box set? Amazon don't really give any info!

[Frenchie]

It does not have anything new according to amazon. Here is the link that was buried in the New French album thread:

Has the track listing.

What a strange collection of albums!

Disc 1: 1 Fille, 4 Types
Disc 2: A New Day Has Come
Disc 3: Celine Dion
Disc 4: D'Eux
Disc 5: Falling Into You
Disc 6: Let's Talk About Love
Disc 7: Loved Me Back To Life
Disc 8: Sans Attendre
Disc 9: S'il suffisait d'aimer
Disc 10: The Colour Of My Love

I wonder why these were chosen and Unison, Dion Chante Plamandon, One Heart, D'Elles or Taking Chances were omitted.

Well I guess they didn't have room for 15 CDs in the box. It's a shame it's not a more complete collection!

I suppose 15 cds would be too much, though it would be like 'the definite celine dion collection'... btw it should be 16 cds, I forgot Incognito!

But it would have been nicer if the album would have something in common, e.g. the same decade, or French or English etc...

HOW COULD I FORGET THE BEST ALBUM EVERRRRRRRRRRRR




hmmmmmm and maybe 18 then including TAST and MAYYYBE 19 with ATW ... In conclusion they should have waited for the new French album, to make it an even 20

[Caledor]

I wonder why TC is not in the box. This surprises me.

[Javito]

It's a strange mix. I too miss One Heart and Taking Chances. If there had to be 10, I would have put 7 in English and 3 in French, or make 1 box with 10 English albums and 1 with 10 French discs

And you are forgetting her live albums!   Some of her best vocals are in live à l'Olympia and live à Paris

I'm really excited for this release! Bit of a strange choice of albums but nice to have most of them together! I wonder if Celine herself decided to release this? Plus any ideas if it's a worldwide release, I'm from the UK so hoping is available on Amazon UK!

[seanibreeze]

Plus just waiting for the pre-order link!

I can almost guarantee that Celine has absolutely no idea what gets released beyond her albums and the main compilations like ONCP & MLEC

Product description included in Amazon UK:

Quote

The Celine Dion Collection is a 10CD box set featuring a selection of Celine Dion’s English and French language albums released between 1992 and 2013. The individual albums are contained in card sleeves replicating the original artwork and all housed in an attractive lift off lid box. The albums included in the collection are Celine Dion, D’Eux, Falling Into You, Let’s Talk About Love, S'il Suffisait D'aimer, The Colour Of My Love, A New Day Has Come, 1 fille & 4 types, Sans Attendre and Loved Me Back To Life.

So cardsleeves. Let's hope the quality and the printing of the album covers is better than the 3CD set "Original Album Classics" of 2010, which was awful

[celine4evauk]

Well this is something I shan't be buying 😂

[seanibreeze]

Does anyone know if it's on any other websites as well as Amazon?

They were clearly scanned for that release! I don't know why they can't make the effort to find the original digital artwork.  Didn't they change the font on ANDHC too?

In a way, I think the fact that they are card sleeves makes this item more collectable.  If it was just 10 jewel cases in a box then I would feel terrible paying 40 euros for a box, but at least with card sleeves we are getting something a little different.  I still think I'll wait until it hopefully comes down in price!

P.S.  Does anyone else think that box now looks way too big for 10 card sleeves?  10 card sleeves stacked together are no more than 2-3cm thick...   I have a Donna Summer box set with 24 card sleeves that looks smaller than this Celine box!  Maybe they're digipacks?

Yes Tim, the ANDHC font was changed for that edition, and also the font was changed in the booklet of the 2008 collector's edition I have no clue why they did so.

I will also wait until some pictures show up, to see if they are decent cardsleeves or not...

[seanibreeze]

I really hope all the CDs have been remastered!

[Javito]

The only Celine CD I sense it need remastering is Unison (those high notes in the bridge of "I Feel Too Much" need a digital cleaning so bad), and it's not included here

The rest of Celine's discography from 1992 and on is just fine. Why would they remaster an album from 2003 or 2012, when the sound is already good?

Besides, TAST and ANDHC were already suposedly remastered in the collector's editions of 2007 and 2008 (as if they needed it...)

I think D'elles needs remastering, her voice sounds distorted or compressed on the big/loud notes.

[seanibreeze]

Just to let you all know the preorder link is now on Amazon UK, should be worldwide too!

[Tintin Leblanc]

They should have included the album UNISON. i love the songs as well in the Unison Album. I hope it'll be available in the Philippines too

D'elles seriously needs remastered. I have to turn the volume all the way up on it.
The remastered Incognito songs on ONCP sound fresh and great. I wish we'd get the other tracks remastered.

[celine4evauk]

For me the only ones that should be remastered are her vinyl french ones - then release them as a boxset.

I find it so sad that her 80s French catalogue has never been released on CD, it's shocking considering Celine is such a big artist.

I assume Sony now own the rights her entire 80s catalogue seeing as they remastered and released quite a few tracks on the 3CD ONCP 'L'intégrale' ??  Or maybe they just got the rights to the particular tracks they wanted to put on the compilation?

I have no idea, but these are the kind of questions that some witty journalist should address Céline for a change, instead of the same old chit-chat about family and private life...

Would probably be better to ask Aldo when he does the occasional interview. We all know Celine doesn't really worry about stuff like that 😂😂

[seanibreeze]

The box set has been moved from June 3rd to June 10th! Guess a couple of days later won't make the difference! I'm really excited for this release, although I do own all the albums a new clean box set is just a nice way of updating my collection!
