Free Music Notes for The Best of Jane Olivor
Free Music Review: Love This Album
Hit: 5 Stars
This is Jane Olivor at her best. Her voice is rich and full, and she uses her voice as an instrument to interpret the songs she sings. Free Music Review: 10 marks to Joseph M Palmaccio for the remastering
Hit: 5 Stars
Like everyone, there are tracks on this CD that I like and others I would have replaced, but I just thought I'd throw my 10c into the ring.
The remastering is a revelation. The original 1980s CD pressings of all the albums sound flat and muddy by comparison. In fact, there is no comparison when you listen to this release and then the old versions.
What continues to beggar belief is that Sony Legacy have not given all the original albums this treatment. The market is there, but I fear they may hold on to the original masters and then flog them to a reissue label like Wounded Bird, where the remastering process will be bypassed.
Even if you don't absolutely love the 16 tracks selected for this CD, go and buy it for the ones you do love, as the sound is spectacular and maybe, just maybe Sony may take notice of the sales and grace us with all five Columbia albums in pristine sound like this. Either way it is good value.

Free Music Review: Jane Olivor - The Best
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is a wonderful collection of Jane Olivor's songs. Several were a delight to hear again after many years and find that I enjoy them as much or maybe more than before I bought this album. Years ago a friend took me to hear her at a bar in Dallas and to hear her voice agains brings back great memories as well as the delight of her singing. There are one or two songs that have never been favorites but the rest of the songs far out weigh the ones I don't like as much as others. I fully recommend purchasing this album. Free Music Review: Jane is excellent as always
Hit: 4 Stars
The only song I wish would have been on this CD is Merry Go Round...... then it really would have been ALL the best of Jane.Free Music Review: man, I've missed her
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought all of Jane's albums when they were albums, back in the late 70's, early 80's. I love her voice and I played them all the time. However, when I got a cd player, I didn't replace the albums with cds because the songs made me go back to that time, and I was in love and it was unrequited and my heart was broken. So I was browsing Amazon and found this cd and decided to order it.
It's absolutely beautiful. It doesn't hurt to listen to it anymore, I've been able to get past the painful memories and just listen to the music.
I remember seeing Jane in concert in the early 80's. She sat on steps and gathered us around her on the floor and it was so beautiful and intimate. I remember shaking her hand, she was so tiny and obviously nervous. It was one of the most beautiful concerts I've ever been to.
I highly recommend this cd, it's very romantic and beautiful.
