And it is not unusual for a greatest hits album to include a couple of new songs—which, obviously, aren't hits yet upon the album's release, and might never become ones. So Best of, Very Best of, Greatest Hits... all the same so then to quote Phoebe Buffay... "potato patata".
However box sets could be, and usually are, something different. And Enchanted seems more as a personal selection than a GH, cause it includes rare B'sides, alternate versions, tracks excluded from previous albums. So there were songs I never heard on the radio. Obviously Enchanted is not a classic GH, and for me—since I never owned all her solo albums—buying it was a good idea; I really enjoyed it.

She's said it a million times. Her record company came to her and told her to release a Greatest Hits album. She balked at it because back then a Greatest Hits album was a sign of a washed up performer. She would only go along if it was not called Greatest Hits. She named it Timespace. She left off top 40 hits Nightbird and After The Glitter Fades and added Beauty and the Beast which was not even released as a single. Whole Lotta Trouble never charted and it was on the album too This is why she wanted Silver Springs too. She said a million times she resented a "Greatest Hits" album. It was a compromise between her and her record company which songs to put on. She added her favorite songs that many would not know.
Yes of course its a greatest hits album but I suppose none of this was in "the book."
