I'm an avid Minnie collector.
I have all of the ones you listed below and others:
i.e. Stay in Love, Perfect Angel, some of the
other rotary connection CDs, and some Japanese
greatest hits of various incarnations.
*SPECIFICALLY*, I can't find "Minnie" and "Love Lives Forever"
her last two official full-length releases on CD. I have
"Minnie" on vinyl, but want it on an official CD. A friend of mine
actually has "Love Lives Forever" on cassette as well.
Come to my Garden is my personal favorite.
I usually think that some artists should not
be covered; Minnie is one of them. (i.e.
I cringe whenever I hear Monday Michiru's version
of Loving You) However, Jean Carne does one of the best
covers ever with Completeness (from Come to my Garden)
on the CD "Closer Than Close-Best Of Jean Carne". They
really took the time to do it right with the strings
and everything.
