Critic's Review
Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
Complete Collection is a six-disc, U.K.-only set celebrating the breadth and depth of Lisa Stansfield's extensive and impressive career. It includes her five studio albums -- Affection; Real Love; So Natural; Lisa Stansfield; and Face Up -- as well as an exclusive sixth disc, with recordings from a 1992 Wembley date, club mixes (including a great Massive Attack version of "Live Together"), B-sides, and three songs from Stansfield's Blue Zone days. Not enough? Each studio album is augmented with at least two bonus tracks. Complete Collection is definitely the most comprehensive Lisa Stansfield retrospective; it borders on overkill. But since it's only available in the U.K. -- and is also quite pricey -- the single-disc Biography is perfectly acceptable for the casual Stansfield fan.
