'Tis the nature of the internet and quick buck lazy schemes. Many of the bootleg compilations are from out of the country especially Asia - they often misspell her name, song titles - and Linda and the songwriters are surely not being compensated. Yahoo image search is most egregious. All you can do is try to alert the site and perhaps yahoo. Eddie, I for one admirer your vigilance. These misrepresentation should not reflection on the well-intentioned, talented musicians in the Tribute band who seem to respect and honor the music of Linda.

ARNY here, again, from Just One Look - Tribute to Linda Ronstadt.
Yep, it keeps happening. The latest was a t-shirt on ebay with Holly's picture on it, stating it was Linda. Not much we can do as web crawlers pull Holly's pictures and profiteers will use them as they wish. Flattering, yes, but annoying as well, especially when folks think it's us doing it. I assure you, it's not, but as we've found out, it's pretty much out of our hands once the photos hit the internet.

I know none of us here think you or Holly are doing it. Look at the bright side, at least Holly is quite attractive and talented too and to some eyes they just can't tell the difference. Makes sense that it is coming from a different nation and probably a different generation who don't know Linda from a hole in the ground. I don't think Linda has any legal group handling copyright issues or licensing so it will probably keep happening.

I told one seller that this was not Linda. whether he/she stopped selling any I don't know. plus, it seems others are selling stuff. the seller I told was selling Holly's photo as Linda's if I remember rt. eddiejinnj

Has this song been brought up here before?
It is from the Hand Sown sessions a long long time ago in a place far away .....

Really shows off the "operatic" aspect of her voice-sort of like Randy Newman said Joan Sutherland (but without Kermit) that was to come later.

Evidently it was on The Capitol Years - Best Of.
It does sound more Stone Poneyish to me also.
Found this one also:
It said it is from the Get Closer sessions.

Would have loved to see "The Price of Love" on Get Closer instead of "Tell Him" which is one of the very few songs of Ronstadt's I can't stand. That and "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" and "Give Me a Reason" though the latter has grown on me somewhat.
