Ultimate Collection is a compilation album by the American singer-songwriter Aimee Mann, released on September 12, 2000, by Hip-O. It mostly comprises tracks from Mann's first two solo albums and her work with the band 'Til Tuesday.

Lawsuit

Mann did not approve the release of Ultimate Collection. In a statement on her website, she said that the record company, Universal Music, had refused her offer to choose tracks and provide artwork.[4][5] Instead, the compilation includes songs Mann considered substandard, such as a rough mix, a live radio performance and a cover she recorded as a favor for a film producer friend.[5]

In 2001, Mann sued Universal Music, saying the release breached an stipulation in her contract that Universal could not release a compilation without her consent. Mann sought more than $2 million in damages.[4][5]
