The 4th disc is enhanced with the previously unreleased performance of 'Silent Night'. The discs are housed in a purple-velvet covered digibook with 40 + page booklet. Reprise. 2002.
Description of Only Time: The Collection:
A wonderful gift, this handsomely packaged four-CD box set (purple velvet cover, gold-foil lettering) also serves as an inviting midcareer retrospective of an uncommon vocalist-sonic architect. Only Time: The Collection is a mix-and-match assortment of tracks spanning Enya's first five U.S. releases (including her 1987 debut, The Celts) and embellished with a half-dozen B-sides not found on her previous U.S.-released albums. Chief among them are "May It Be" (from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack); "Isobella," a hushed, slowly evolving beauty formerly available only in Japan; and "Oiche Chiun (Silent Night)." The set's fourth disc is an enhanced CD that includes 1996 video footage of Enya performing "Oiche Chiun" during a BBC special. Also included is a 44-page, tall-format booklet filled with regal artist photos, song lyrics, and commentary on each track written by lyricist Roma Ryan. Some notations are throwaway items. Others are insightful, such as the unfinished lyrics (about lost love) for the instrumental title track to A Day Without Rain. The order is a jumble, usually mixing tracks from two recordings onto one disc. The stylistic difference between her dated 1987 debut and the sophistication of 1988's Watermark makes for some occasionally jarring listening on disc one. On the other hand, the opening sequence on disc three ("After Ventus," "No Holly for Miss Quinn," "The Memory of Trees") is mesmerizing. Overall, nicely done. --Terry Wood
Only Time: The Collection Reviews:
Only Time: The Collection 
2009-10-12 - The product was received in perfect order and well within the time period specified. If you like Enya, this is a fantastic product to have. The music is great.
Where is "On My Way Home"? 
2009-09-03 - That question sums up my feelings. They put every other song from her "main" albums on here except that one, which is...surprise...my favorite Enya track! Not buying this one.
Enya The Video Collection 
2009-01-10 - ENYA The Collection. This product was ordered by mistake. What I have re-ordered is ENYA video collection. I am awaiting the arrival of this product.
Fantastic Collection
2008-09-25 - Anyone who appreciated Enya's music would love to have this item. It spans a majority of her career and includes some of her best work. The included booklet contains great pictures and full lyrics (including some that have never before been in print) along with a brief statement regarding the inspiration for the song.
This collection is a limited release, beautifully packaged and well worth having.
Only Time: Collection of Enya (CD)
2008-08-16 - I love Enya's music for it is so relaxing to listen too and when I found out that she had a box set available I was anxious to get it and add this collection to my growing collection of CD's at home.
