"STUDIO ALBUMS" =

1. SHE'S SO UNUSUAL (1983) 2. TRUE COLORS (1986) 3. A NIGHT TO REMEMBER (1989) 4. HAT FULL OF STARS (1993) 5. SISTERS OF AVALON (1996) 6. BRING YA TO THE BRINK (2008)

HOLIDAY ALBUM: 1. MERRY CHRISTMAS...HAVE A NICE LIFE (1998)

STANDARD/COVER ALBUM: 1. AT LAST (2003)

EPS/UNOFFICIAL RELEASE: 1. SHINE (2004)

COMPILATION/RE-RECORDINGS: 1. THE BODY ACOUSTIC (2005)

If you read interview with Cyndi Lauper, she clearly acknowledges Sisters of Avalon as her last official studio album before Bring Ya to the Brink. She said Merry Christmas... to Body Acoustic were all SIDE-PROJECTS! so I don't think it should be listed under her studio albums. I know we all want her to have 10 albums but one is a Christmas album, One is standard cover album (re-recordings of other hits considered Standard album), One EP that was later released in Japan as full album (doesnt count here) and One album that has re-recorded tracks of previously released songs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Light.darkness09 (talkcontribs) 22:57, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Compilations"

I have made a similar edit numerous times and no one seems to be listening. "The Body Acoustic" is not even REMOTELY a "compilation album"; the very definition of "compilation" means to COMPILE previously released work. All of the records on "Acoustic" are ORIGINAL RECORDINGS, even if the SONGS were released previously in other formats. Midnightguinea 07:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is also some inaccuracy here in terms of the "Shine" releases. Because the album was temporarily shelved in 2001, they instead released a five track E.P. in the USA called "Shine"; later that year they released a remix single called "Shine Remixes" with totally different artwork and tracks. Years later they released the Japan exclusive full length album. Midnightguinea 07:34, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Is there a reason why this collection album is missing: http://new.music.yahoo.com/cyndi-lauper/albums/very-best-of-cyndi-lauper--196062600 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.246.128.79 (talk) 21:04, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The World is Stone

This single bombed in Australia. It didn't go to number six. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.194.148.129 (talk) 20:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I can confirm this. It didn't hit the Top 100 at all, let alone the Top 10! (Pwhytcross (talk) 11:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)).[reply]

I'm in Australia and I bought the single! You could list sales and have one (1) confirmed copy sold at least lol — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.186.228.9 (talk) 04:06, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unincluded Albums & Extended Plays

The Blue Angel

-Cyndi was a member of Blue Angel, an unsuccessful group from the late late 70's to very early 80's. They released a self titled album Blue Angel (1980). Even Cyndi lists it in her discography http://cyndilauper.com/music-list/ . I think it should be listed here.

Feels Like Christmas

Cyndi also released a Holiday EP on July 1, 2001, entitled "Feels Like Christmas".

Songs

It contained 6 songs from Merry Christmas... Have a Nice Life; "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", "Minnie and Santa", "December Child", "Christmas Conga", "Silent Night". The title track "Feels Like Christmas" was from her album "Hat Full of Stars", but also appeared on Merry Christmas... Have a Nice Life.

It also contained "The World Is Stone" from the Tycoon soundtrack. The song was also featured on her complication Hey Now! (Remixes & Rarities).

It also included the previously unreleased B-side from Cyndi's Album True Colors, "Heading for the Moon"
