From Croydon to Cuba: An Anthology is a three disc box set by the British singer and songwriter Kirsty MacColl, released by Virgin in 2005. It reached No. 98 on the UK Albums Chart.[1]
Upon release, Dave Thompson of AllMusic described the set as a "marvel" and one which leaves listeners "wondering precisely how MacColl's genius passed so many people by".[2] John Murphy of musicOMH considered it a "long overdue retrospective" and summarised: "Although there are some omissions, this anthology is still a compulsory purchase for anyone who wants to know more about one of the more cruelly over-looked figures of British music."[3]
Robert Sandall of The Telegraph commented: "This box set offers a comprehensive reminder of just how characterful a talent departed the planet when Kirsty MacColl [died] in 2000. Not all of the 65 tracks here are classics - like most box sets, this contains a sprinkling of rare or unreleased what-nots which collectors love but others skip. But the story they tell is riveting."[4]
^Shortly before its October 1979 release date, MacColl and her label Stiff parted company, so "You Caught Me Out" was never released as a single.[6]
^Recorded January 1983 during sessions for MacColl's shelved second album Real.[5]
^Originally released on Sharon Shannon's 1997 album Each Little Thing. The version featured on From Croydon to Cuba is a remix from Shannon's 2003 collaborations album Libertango.[5]
^Demo recorded during the Tropical Brainstorm sessions.[5]
