The Julia Fordham Collection is the first compilation album by English singer-songwriter Julia Fordham, released in 1998. It covers ten years of Fordham's career, from her 1988 debut album up to the release of the compilation.

Content

The compilation includes selected singles and album tracks from Fordham's first five studio albums: Julia Fordham (1988), Porcelain (1989), Swept (1991), Falling Forward (1994) and East West (1997). Three of the album's tracks are reworked versions, including "Where Does the Time Go? ('98 Version)", which features American singer Curtis Stigers on vocals. Also included are two previously unreleased tracks: "Kid", a newly recorded song for this compilation,^[1] and "It Was Nothing That You Said", which was recorded during the East West sessions but not included on the final track listing of that album.^[1]
