Well said,tony. It had a big review in rs who raved about the first side and the duet with james but wasn't quite as gush about the rest of side 2. I think mostly because of the 2 songs at the end though I think they said something about Mr. Radio (which is one of the most biographical songs Linda could have done). Some reviewers loved "My Blue Tears" (which imo should be on trio III) and "Sometimes You Just Can't Win" was a moderate country hit. Get Closer for as disappointing as it supposedly is/was earned 3 Grammy noms including Best Female Pop Vocal, Best Female Rock Vocal and Best Album Package which Kosh did win. eddiejinnj Agree - Get Closer album is under appreciated possibly because its a mixed bag - but Linda is in fantastic voice, coming off her Pirates Of Penzance run - TMAHM is a wonderful performance

I love Trio I, and Softly & Gently .... I'm not so in love with T2. You'll Never be The Sun is lovely though. Really looking forward to the reissue. I contacted Rhino again yesterday who replied with "we have no info on this release, check the website"
frustrating. I hope a little time and money is spent on the packaging to make it worthy!

the current release, Just One Look Classic Linda Ronstadt is strangely not showing on the UK iTunes store, only the above greatest hits (showing as released in June) - its 1 CD rather than 2.

I bought it, lovely quality. I hope they do they same with the reissue.... wasn't sure about the strange colouring on the sleeve though for the reissue??

Mostly nonsense .... I like Martina but sometimes she sound like she's eating while she's singing! Alison Krauss - yeah OK ... But generally a poor/average list. Linda was definitely a huge oversight

Still nothing on this release. It's nearly September! Did anyone buy the 180g vinyl remaster released last year??

Wanted more from CLAR and Winter Light - maybe they will release entire remastered cds?

Someone very kindly several years ago posted these concerts for download -
Universal Amphitheatre - 16 Oct 1990
Shoreline Ampitheatre - 27 Oct 1990
Somehow I've lost tracks and don't seem to have either of them as complete .... does anyone still have them to share?
Thanks!

I have a nice Bose surround system, connected to a CD/bluray player on which I occasionally play music on CD and DVD. However most of my music is streamed from ripped CDs via Sonos or Apple Music. Listening to the uncompressed source on CD is superior and worth it.
I bought the remastered Prisoner In Disguise, Hasten Down The Wind and Don't Cry Now CDs which sound great in comparison to my ripped CDs.
On a day to day basis, I listen to music on my iPhone (with with good B&O headphones) or in the car, again with good B&O speakers.
good speakers and headphones make all the difference!

so many .......
You Can't Treat The Wrong Man Right - I've love the line .... He'll steal all your love and fly by night
En Mi Soledad - Ya estoy cansada de esperar, Y de llorar, y ya no puedo soportar Mi soledad
I Keep It Hid - particularly the live version, the last line of Oh why can't I walk up to that old love of mine and say
plus this song, and that line, and that chorus, and that verse..... and so on .....

Elkie Brooks is a fantastic artist very much under appreciated outside of the U.K. I think. She's still recording. Her Pearls album from around 1980 is wonderful - I'd advise anyone looking for a new artist to try, give Elkie a go

I'm gonna buy the new compilation just to see how much of a difference the remastering makes. But I really wish Rhino would confirm details of the new Trio package, especially as Dolly and Emmylou have talked in quite some details about it now!

Maybe I'm in the minority but I think she had a dreadful voice.... wonderful personality and great TV star here for 20 or so years but musically a big dud

A video companion would be cool. there are the two music videos To Know Him is To Love Him and Those Memories Of You, plus loads of live performances on Carson, Dolly Show - this would be a dream!

I wrote to "Dr. Rhino," and here is the reply: I do not have current information available for this title. Please stay tuned to Rhino.com for any developments. Dr. Rhino
Standard Rhino response .... frustrating especially as Dolly and Emmylou have mentioned it, and the CDs have appeared for pre-order with track listings (despite being pulled). Perhaps its not to be released on Rhino?
I don't care as long as it comes out - with decent packaging!

I was too distraught! Hopefully just Amazon being a little premature - Official announcement from Rhino is needed

Definitively putting herself down by describing herself as "Taylor Swift of her time"! Rose Garden is a great song and 67 is far too young

silly price, I thought sheet music at first - perhaps for the 2 greatest hits CDs but was thrown little by the publisher
