Free Music Notes for Essential Collection
Free Music Review: AND THE DIFFERENCE IS...
Hit: 5 Stars
...in the remastering and number of cuts. What I am referring to is the difference between this CD and another, quite similar and quite good, MOTELS anthology, CLASSIC MASTERS.
This CD has 15 cuts; some are obscure but excellent. The CLASSIC MASTERS CD has 12 cuts, including "Whose Problem" and "Some Things Never Change" and those two cuts are not on this CD - all the rest of them are.
Speaking of one of the obscure cuts that I had not heard before getting this CD, listening to "Change My Mind" on this CD makes me wish that Martha Davis would take up the Blues in earnest, they would be a no-brainer for a singer of her caliber.
Anyway, if you are a MOTELS fan you will have to have this collection. The production quality of the remastering is impeccable and Martha Davis sounds like she is in the room with you. And the sax - man does it soar!
If you are not a MOTELS fan already but want to have a much better anthology than NO VACANCY - in terms of production values, not content - get this one. As I write this review, 6 of the 10 top MOTELS mp3 downloads on AMAZON.COM are from this CD.
And to Capitol records I ask: "Hey, how about a remastered LITTLE ROBBERS, the MOTELS greatest non-anthological album?"
