Review title: Pleasant John Denver Performances - But NOT The Originals Of His "Best"
Product review: One thing you have to be wary of whenever you see a volume from Madacy, based in St. Laurent, Quebec, Canada is that, more often than not, what they are presenting as someone's "best" is actually re-recordings of some of their biggest hits. This one, despite the connection to EMI-Capitol, is no exception. It was recorded at 16th Avenue Sound in Nashville the year before his untimely death on October 12, 1997 at age 53 in an airplane accident.So, don't expect to hear Placido Domingo on the 1982 hit Perhaps Love (or even the John Denver solo version from his 1982 LP Seasons Of The Heart), or Sylvie Vartan on the 1984 hit Love Again. Nor do Fat City (Bill Danoff and Terry Nivert) of The Starland Express Band back him on Take Me Home Country Roads.Not horrible recordings by any means - but these types of CDs need to be better advertised as re-makes, especially if ordering on-line as there you never get to see the "fine print."
