SINGER-SONGWRITER Alanis Morissette found world-wide fame with her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill.
It sold more than 33 million copies globally and earned her the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1996. It was even adapted into a hit rock musical of the same name in 2017.
Nearly two decades ago, she also released her jam-packed greatest hits CD, The Collection, which has now seen it vinyl debut.
The Collection, a double LP, covers the seven-time Grammy Award-winner’s career between 1995 and 2005. It includes a handful of the Canadian songstress’ well-known singles – You Oughta Know, Ironic and You Learn – several soundtrack selections, and her performance of Seal’s hit Crazy.
Following the phenomenal success of Jagged Little Pill, Morissette returned in 1998 with the triple-platinum album Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, which is represented on The Collection by a trio of songs, including the Top 20 hit Thank You.
Hands Clean from her 2002 platinum album, Under Rug Swept, is featured along with Eight Easy Steps from 2004’s So-Called Chaos. Several songs on The Collection weren’t released on Morissette’s studio albums, like Princes Familiar from her 1999 gold-certified MTV Unplugged album and Sister Blister from the 2002 compilation Feast on Scraps.
A few of the singer’s soundtrack contributions are featured here, including Still from Kevin Smith’s 1999 film, Dogma, where Morissette played the role of God.
