Despite her conspicuous absence from most media (save the tabloids) in the year 2000, the Celine Dion industry rolls on with her second repackaging job in two years. The Collector's Series Volume One culls a dozen cuts from previous U.S. releases, including "That's the Way It Is" from Dion's 1999 greatest hits CD. Two Spanish-language numbers, a previously Japan-only multilingual version of David Foster's "Be the Man (on This Night)," and a song from the 1996 Olympics opening ceremony fill out the disc. Guest appearances by Streisand ("Tell Him") and Bocelli ("The Prayer") remind us and her that, time off or no, she's still a star. Bingo--the perfect holiday gift for the Celine fan on your list. --Park Slope
