It's not much of a deluxe treatment with just five extra tracks, one of which was previously unreleased. But, I'm guessing there may not have been a lot of unreleased songs or alternate takes as recording in the mid to late 70s had gotten to be a rather expensive proposition. The high cost of recording in the 70s was the major reason why many artists turned to building their own recording studios, especially if they were required by their record companies (who paid for the sessions) to pay back the costs of the recording sessions from their artist royalties.
I'd like to see Linda's albums get the deluxe treatment but I would hope that it would be unreleased studio recordings than concert recordings. Actually, I think Capitol had enough unreleased early Linda songs (1967-71) in their vaults to release a couple of albums at least of unreleased songs, although it's possible the unreleased songs were never completed because of breakdowns (mistakes by the musicians or by Linda or the producer or engineer stopping the work on a song because of a technical problem) or Linda having never recorded her vocal for the song. But, Linda is long overdue for the deluxe treatment and it would be nice if the labels that released her albums did that now.

The are some unreleased tracks that have floated around for her later albums too, plus probably a few we've not even heard yet... Not many I guess based on Linda's comments but I'd like to see her work receive the treatment it deserves.

Not many I guess based on Linda's comments but I'd like to see her work receive the treatment it deserves. Not many would be my guess as well for Linda, given most artists who did not write songs just did not record a lot of songs for an album. There were always a few extra songs recorded that were released as a B-side and maybe a few tracks that were recorded for possible inclusion but ultimately left off the albums. Still, with the passing of time, Linda may not remember recording a lot of songs but she could've recorded a few extra songs for each album. Also, given her dislike of her own work, it may be that Linda wouldn't want any outtakes released although that may be something she has no control over if she doesn't own her recordings. |

When listening to Not Gonna Miss You I couldn't quite place it but it sounded like another song I remembered. It is a nice compliment to Glen's song.
I heard tonight he is living in a home, fairly oblivious to what is going on around him and not remembering anyone. I had heard the way people with that disease die is that they forget how to eat and breathe and basically fade out. sigh
