 Rating:  - BRILLIANT IDEA, DREADFULLY EXECUTED!!!The music's great, the package lovingly put together. That's the good news!! The bad news is that the mastering so so dreadful and the sound quality so poor that it really detracts from the pleasure of hearing a set that clearly won't make Universal in the UK very rich. They deserve kudos for putting it out, but there are so many technical mistakes in the PQing alone, that a halfway decent plant would have caught these errors before going to press. I note that it was pressed at Disctronics in the UK; a more professional outfit like Vivendi's own plant or a Sonopress or Cinram would have sent this back just on technical reasons alone!! Rating:  - You're Gonna Love This, BabyHere's what this great, unearthed treasure includes: Two complete albums/the released masters, HERE I AM (1966) and THE REAL BARBARA McNAIR (1969). A third "album" BARBARA SINGS SMOKEY (titled only for this collection) and another dozen plus songs/"album" MORE FROM THE VAULT (more like a description than a title). Signed on to Motown as an MOR artist*, Ms. McNair sings with a lovely, clear voice and gives the material a wonderful mature approach. On the standards ("What Now My Love", "The Shadow of Your Smile"), contemporary songs ("You've Lost that Loving Feeling," "Message to Michael') and the Motown covers ("You Beat Me to The Punch," "More Love," "My World is Empty Without You"), Barbara McNair's versatility as a songstress ...

Meanwhile, over the ocean, we get this incredible two-C.D. set revealing all sorts of hidden gems by Barbara McNair, including what appears to be music intended for a set of Smokey Robinson music. These are finished recordings, totally intriguing and some knockouts. Plus you get all her released Motown music, including the gorgeous "Steal Away Tonight.." Marvelous! |
