Description

Sure, I loved "Angie Baby" when I was a kid. It ranked on my hit parade right up there with "The Night Chicago Died" and "Band On The Run". But until recently I never played my "Greatest Hits" CD all that much. I just kept it because I'm a fan of 70s oldies and thought I should have "Angie Baby", "Delta Dawn" and "I Am Woman" in my collection. I liked all three of those songs but didn't care for the rest. After recently seeing "Pete's Dragon" though, I became enthralled by Reddy's beautiful voice (I didn't care for the film) and pulled out the hits disc for another listen. Surprisingly, the songsmore… that became my favorites were ones that I never cared for before..."You and Me Against the World", "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and the tour de force performance on "Emotion". Her voice is mesmerizing. So I decided to upgrade to this 23 track Razor & Tie collection and am glad I did. First of all, the remastering on this disc is so much better than on the Capitol disc. I never noticed the cymbal during the first verse of "Emotion" before, even though I probably played that track from the Capitol disc a hundred times in the last couple of months. And I also didn't know that the version of "Emotion" on the Capitol disc was a single edit! The track is a minute and a half longer on the Razor & Tie disc. There's a whole 'nother verse! And as much as I love "Emotion", I have to admit that "The West Wind Circus" is close to being my favorite song on this whole disc. It's a great song and an immaculate performance by Reddy. Other reasons to get this disc is for "Crazy Love", "Bluebird", "I Can't Say Goodbye to You", "Think I'll Write a Song", and "More Than You Could Take", all great tracks absent from the earlier compilation. One more bonus is her cover of The Beatles' "The Fool On The Hill" from the 70s concept album "All This & World War II". On the downside, this disc omits "The Happy Girls" and "Make Love to Me". While I'm still having trouble getting into "Leave Me Alone", "Keep On Singing" and "Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady", I guess I have to admit that I'm a fan of Helen Reddy.
