The biggest hits from Sandra with special versions, remixes and 5 free downloads. Review: MY GOD...this thing is priceless, woah!!!! - Sandra's new 2009 "The Platinum Collection" is intended to be a twin release to her ex-husband Michael Cretu's project Enigma's "The Platinum Collection", also on Virgin/EMI, 2009, but in reality, this release stands alone. This collection is beyond words, it's priceless!!! It's, like, REALLY well-done (and insanely priced cheap), all the more fitting for the greatest (and most beautiful-looking) female artist to never have made it in the US or UK...and it has rare versions that were never on CD before, like the single version of "In The Heat Of The Night", which was in the video...if you have her 1992 single-disc comp "18 Greatest Hits", either sell it or throw it away, because this 3CD marvel renders it utterly obsolete, instantly. Yes, I also listened to it on good headphones, and unlike many listeners, I prefer my CDs loud and clear...unlike the original 1985 CD of "The Long Play", which was so low I need to turn the volume up each time I listen. I'm happy this collection is up-to-date, and that it includes not only ALL of the singles, but also fave album tracks like "Lovelight In Your Eyes" and "Celebrate Your Life". Yes, the 12" versions were taken from vinyl sources, except for the PWL 12" of "Everlasting Love", but that's probably because the masters on those mixes were long lost, or ruined and never recovered...that happens...but at least the 12" tracks don't sound horrible to me. As for the package job, I think it's utterly beautiful...with uses of grey and clear transparency, the slipcase, clear clamshell case (similar to Virgin/EMI UK's amazing 3CD set on Kirsty MacColl "From Croydon To Cuba"), and great photos...and the liner notes!!!! I was expecting just simple track information, but I got a greatly RESEARCHED story (in English!!) with lots of detail and even interview segments with Sandra and her ex, Michael Cretu!!! The way it looks online, it looks cheap and basic but a great tracklisting...you hold it in your hands, it's beautiful and priceless...flawless really...when it arrived and I opened up the package, I almost fell over!!! On top of that, on Disc 3 is an enhanced portion with 5 more download 12" versions not on the CDs, and a photogallery...all for the 15 bucks I paid...whatta deal, and I would have gladly paid $100 for this thing!!! I love this package and I love Sandra, both solo and Arabesque...now she's divorced, maybe I have a chance!!! She's 47, I'm 42, I'm game!!! Review: I LOVE THIS COLLECTION!! - This review is for the Sandra "The Platinum Collection". I remember the first time I heard Maria Magdalena and In The Heat Of The Night(that was 1986...I feel so dated...) Anyways, I was enthralled! The tracks are awesome, even the 12" versions on disc 03, despite being off the vinyl cuts as I understan them. I don't regret buying this collection, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to purchase the ultimate set of songs from Sandra that spans close to a quarter of a century (for those of you with limited math skills that's about 25 years). As the liner note state (and these are quite well done), very few acts/artists in Europe have survived as long as Sandra (Pet Shop Boys, Madonna, to name but a very few). And the insane price! Can't be beat! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002QVOQ1U | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,792 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #8,538 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) #10,364 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (640) | | Date First Available | October 24, 2009 | | Item model number | WA-14801846 | | Label | Emi Import | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Emi Import | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2009 | | Product Dimensions | 5.63 x 4.92 x 0.98 inches; 6.98 ounces | | SPARS Code | DDD | ## Images ![The Platinum Collection - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71p6SC2k0kL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MY GOD...this thing is priceless, woah!!!! *by L***S on January 14, 2010* Sandra's new 2009 "The Platinum Collection" is intended to be a twin release to her ex-husband Michael Cretu's project Enigma's "The Platinum Collection", also on Virgin/EMI, 2009, but in reality, this release stands alone.

Can't be beat! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The voice of Enigma, well, ex-wife Michael Cretu holding her own! *by S***E on August 23, 2015* I grew up listening to Sandra. When I heard Maria Magdalena on the radio, I have been hooked since then! I am now going to be 42 and still love her as much as I did over some 30 years ago. I recently bought an in dash system for my car and stream Amazon Music. I wanted to find an album on Sandra’s that had most of the songs I wanted. This fit the bill! I can listen to the songs on my Echo as I clean and cook or in my car and song along. I love her music and will never get sick of it! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Platinum Collection - The Very Best Of - The Best --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/4661208-the-platinum-collection](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/4661208-the-platinum-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
