Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time: Greatest Hits - Music & Performance - CD

The 1999 compilation If I Could Turn Back Time concentrates on Cher's big hits of the late '80s and early '90s. There are some selections from the early '70s ("Half-Breed" and "Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves"), plus the Sonny & Cher "I Got You Babe," but the collection spends its time on the post-Moonstruck era. It does not do this badly, but it hardly results in a balanced retrospective. If that's kept in mind, this can be enjoyable -- just don't think of this as definitive, though. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
