Customer Reviews

This is the missing link in Buffy's classic catalogue of song...
Today I thought I would do a search under Buffy to see if anything new had appeared and to my surprise came across this significant CD project!

This 2CD set digitally debuts Buffy's three obscure studio albums that she recorded for ABC Records and MCA Records between 1974 and 1976 (after departing her long-time label Vanguard Records). The songs she recorded for these projects follow in the vain of her lushly orchestrated 1972 album "Moonshot" with just a little twang of country/soft-rock.

These albums represented a Buffy who finally had reclaimed her creative freedom (after her repressive latter years at Vanguard) and a Buffy who was at her most expressive, emotive in her songwriting, and singing.

This CD release acts as the missing jigsaw piece to Buffy's classic back catalogue of song, which has to date, been well serviced. Over the last 10 years, we have been spoilt with an array of CD re-issues from Vanguard but nothing from this era.

Although I tried on numerous occasions to engineer a CD re-issue I failed to my utter frustration, as I truly adore these albums and felt it a crime that they have long been out-of-print. I am therefore overjoyed that a deal has been done and this release will soon be upon us. How poignant that it is also due out on the same year that Buffy is due for a musical comeback with her new studio album produced by the Chris Birkett (producer of her 1992 "Coincidence and Likely Stories" album).

Highlights to watch out for on this CD set are: "Waves" and "Star Boy" (from "Buffy" [1974]); the original version of "Eagle Man/Changing Woman", "Can't You See The Way I Love You" and the absolutely beautiful "A Man" (from "Changing Woman" [1975]); "Sweet America" and the original version of "Starwalker" (from "Sweet America" [1976]).

PREPARE TO BE TAKEN ON A ROLLERCOASTER JOURNEY THAT WILL MAKE YOU SMILE AND BRING A FEW TEARS ALONG THE WAY. EXPECT TO BE ENCHANTED AND ENTRANCED BY A BUFFY WHO DELIVERS HER GREATEST PERFORMANCES OF THE 1970s!!

Three Buffy Albums In One
We've waited a long time to hear these three Buffy albums on CD and the wait has been worth it. The sound quality is excellent, it's crisp and clean and I'm hearing some instruments for the first time, such as the electric piano doing twiddly bits in the background to 'Generation', the electronic effects on 'Eagle Man/Changing Woman' and 'Mongrel Pup' and the pow wow singing on 'Qu'Appelle Valley, Saskatchewan' and the magnificent 'Star Walker'. It's marvellous to hear these songs in proper digital format at long last (rather than my poor vinyl-to-CD versions), with Buffy's voice clear and strong.

Three '5 star' albums in one double CD.
The two MCA albums 'Buffy' and 'Changing Woman' are two of Buffy's own favorite albums and 'Sweet America' was Buffy's final album, before a 14-year recording lull. It was for the ill-fated ABC Records, which collapsed shortly after she had signed.: copies quickly went out of circulation. This album alone is a 5 star album.

This 'must have' double Cd contains three 5 star albums, every single track is a winner.

For those who don't know Buffy, she won an Academy Award for Best Song from the film `An Officer and a Gentleman'. Up Where We Belong' was performed by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. Buffy's own version is on her Up Where We Belong album.
