3 out of 5 stars Meh..........2004-07-07

Let me begin by saying the Indigo Girls are fabulous...all of the songs on this CD are great as well. However, this CD does not fully capture the Girls' depth or spirit. For listeners new to the Indigo Girls, this might be a good buy, it is a "greatest hits" collection after all. But, I'd recommend 1200 Curfews over 4.5 any day. 1200 Curfews will give you a taste of the Girls' best work and their best live shows while 4.5 will show you what the critics view as their best songs.

3 out of 5 stars 4.5 is appropriate.......2004-04-07

I also included this review for the orginal release avaiable on amazon.com ---

If you consider Land of Caanan from "Strange Fire," Then "4.5" is an appropriate name. This album does not do enough to cover what the Indigo Girls did over these first FIVE albums ("Strange Fire," "Indigo Girls," "Nomads, Indians, and Saints," "Rites of Passage," and "Swamp Ophelia"). If you want a greatest hits, buy "1200 Curfews," or even better spend your $30 buying 2 or 3 of the first five albums and really see the depth these albums contain.

I give it 3 start simply because these are all good songs. However, the first 5 albums by I.G. are full of great songs (a rarity for many albums today).

4 out of 5 stars Great Stuff!!.......2000-09-01

I am totally psyched to have found this CD! The Indigo Girls are incredible! If you are going to own only one of their albums, this is it. A true Ingigo Girls lover will own all their albums, but this is a fabulous mixture of their most meaningful songs. You really get a feel for what they are all about. I purchased two & gave one to my sister. She can't stop listening to it. We wish they added Chickenman to it, but this is DEFINATELY a must have!! Don't live another day without it!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Truly the Best!.......1998-08-26

For fans and curious cats, this is the Indigo Girls CD to buy! Every track is amazing, and truly highlights the best of their career together. This is the CD that introduced me to the Indigo Girls, and I became hooked immediately. After becoming a huge fan and buying more CDs, this is still my favorite. Highly recommended.

2 out of 5 stars There's no real need to get this - buy 1200 Curfews instead........1998-08-24

Whereas "4.5" contains most of the songs that have videos or were released as singles, this particular album is no where near a "must have" for indigo fans. A indigo CD called "Starter Kit" is available in the US that covers a smaller "best of" listing. "4.5" offers no insight or no new versions of the songs; it is merely one person's idea of an indigo collection straight off previously released material. If you seriously enjoy the indigos, then buy "1200 Curfews". That CD gives you a glimpse of the indigo power live. It has alternate versions and unreleased material. There is no need to get "4.5", especially at the cost of an import.

4 out of 5 stars This CD is a great summary of early I.G........2000-02-01

I got this CD after buying Indigo Girls, rites of passage and Swampo Ophelia for my mother. It is a greta collection of all the great songs from the early indigo girls CDs. It is hard to find and it is great that amazon has a copy. Basically all the great songs on the first 4 discs are on the CD (that's why it's called 4.5 it is better than all 4 discs combined :-) Ideally you should buy the originalk 4 discs buit if you can't get this, it has some very good songs like power of 2, least complcated and ghost. A bit expensive but a great CD. Great gift for the IG neophyte. Buy this if you don't wnat to spend like $60 for the other 4 CDs. But i would suggest buying them eventually, especially Swamp Opehlia (that CD kicks!)

5 out of 5 stars 4.5 is truly a TREASURE for Indigo fans!.......1999-04-23

Indigo Girls 4.5 is a rare find and I was pleased to see it out here on Amazon.com. This is a wonderful combination of studio recordings up through their "Swamp Ophelia" album and includes many of my personal favorites. A perfect choice for new fans trying to decide where to start! Also like most of their albums it contains alternating "Amy"(intense, sarcastic,rocking, thought-provoking) and "Emily"(uplifting, hopeful, wistful, gloriously melodious) selections. If you are a true fan your collection is not complete without this one!

5 out of 5 stars I'm IN LOVE with Indigo Girls' GHOST.......1999-02-02

This is the first album where I got to know the Indigo Girls and I should say I've heard all the best. They're fabulous. One should also listen closely to the song "Ghost". It's so poetic! I really am glad I found one place where I can get this CD.
