"The Collector's Series, Volume One" - Official Topic

[couldawouldashoulda]

but the collection wasn't promoted at all

 

Doesn’t change how it sold though, does it? The numbers remain the same. The people at Sony only look at the numbers and say, “Oh, look this collection of rarities didn’t sell but the greatest hits album sold a lot. Let’s release another one of those!” There’s going to be no drive to release a “rarities” Celine album when Sony can look back and see how poorly the last one sold.

It's unlikely they will realease anything like this. CDs aren't readily available anymore which means sales will be low. Anyway I don't understand why they don't make available on Spotify/Youtube songs like "Love You Blind", "Cry Just a Little" or "I Met An Angel On Christmas Day" for which they do have the rights and were B-sides of singles.

 

Songs like "Send Me A Lover", "La bas" or "God Bless America" will never be part of any compilation or her streaming accounts because they were included in charity albums.

 

I've always thought "Here There And Everywhere" is one of her finest vocal performances ever. I would love it to be available in her account.

I agree that it didn't sell as much as other compilations such as All The Way or My Love, but keep in mind that the album was originally intended to be released in the US only. Unlike ATW, which was a worldwide release, TCS was only launched in the US and later in France (as Tout En Amour). Taking this in consideration, Sony executives can't compare the sales of All The Way with those of The Collector's Series.

 

This being said, as much as I would love to have a second volume of The Collector's Series, I highly doubt it could happen for a number of reasons... Sony doesn't seem to care about Céline as much as they did back in the day, CDs no longer sale as much as they sold in the early 2000's... etc. And yes, now you might say "Then why did they release Un Peu De Nous and The Best So Far?

 

They launch completely unnecessary releases like these two, which clearly won't sell as much as a well promoted worldwide release would, and yet they keep the rare gems in their vaults.

[Bruno Portugal]

 

 

I'm more excited about the Deluxe version

[Niobio87]

 

 

Yes. That includes My Heart Wil Go On! LOL

 

I really really wish this was true... I've been waiting for the Collectors Series volume 2 for a long time... And with the Covid 19 should be easy and all the fans would like... I remember here in Portugal it sold quite well...

[Niobio87]

I would make it like this:

 

1-Recovering

2-Ashes (extended version)

3-The show must go on (Billboard Music Awards)

4-Play me like a love song

5-is nothing sacred anymore

6-soul

7-sing (with Annie Lennox)

8-how does a moment last forever

9-the power of love (rehersal for juno awards 1994)

10-i met an angel on Christmas day

11-winter song

12-open arms

13-the reason I go on

[Celinelife]

SETLIST could be

 

1. I'm Alive

2. Where Does My Heart Beat Now

3. Incredible

4. The Show Must Go On

5. Because You Loved Me

6. Open Arms

7. Play Me Like A Love Song

8. For The Lover That I Lost

9. I Love You Goodbye

10. Courage

11. Recovering

12. Loved Me Back To Life

13. Ashes

14. Taking Chances

15. A New Day Has Come

16. Acoustic version of Pour Que Tu Maimes Encore

17. Imperfections (The Slow Version)

18. French version of My Love.

 

This setl8st could work hundreds of way. Celine could post a picture on Instagram saying that she is recording new songs. Fans excited. Celine then does a live virtual interaction with fans and reveal that a new Collection: Volume 2 is releasing with her hits and a brand new song!

This Album has 3 soundtrack which can take this album high! As well as a new song for fans who were demanding new songs from her. A rare acoustic version of PQTME for French people and french version of My Love which I think could be really emotional with her changed voice

[celinesounds]

Perfect list for a CSV2

 

1. I Believe in You feat. Il Divo

2. Open Arms

3. Recovering

4. Soul

5. How does a moment last forever

6. Let your heart decide

7. Send me a lover

8. Play me like a love song

9. Would I Know

10. The reason I go on

11. Map to my heart

12. Heart of glass

13. Ashes

14. Acadian Driftwood- solo

This would be cool, but it is lacking some of what makes "The Collector's Series" the "Collector's Series." The collection is supposed to house not only rare tracks, but also fan favorites and songs which mean something extra to Celine. So, songs like "Then You Look At Me" and "Fade Away" would be perfect for the fan favorites department, and "All The Way" and "Courage" would be great examples of what mean something extra special to Celine. After that, then the rarities could come into play. Songs such as: "Love You Blind," "Cry Just A Little," "Send Me A Lover," "All Because Of You" and "Let Your Heart Decide" come to mind.

 

PS: Yes, my "news" above was, indeed, an April Fools' Day joke.

Heart of glass is a fan favorite

 

LYHD and SMAL are on my list
