source: Studio outtakes Tracks: Is It Worth It High Away Hallelujah Magic You're Still A Child To Me Wind Blows On The Water All The Way Down My Oriental Home (Instrumental) We're (Living) On Borrowed Time I Want You To Know I Love You On A Rockin' Boat Movin' (On The Water) Almost Don't Ever Take Yourself Away Bonus: Mystery Train (S Phillips/H Parker) * Heart Of Mine Watered Down Love Shot Of Love Review: Studio outtakes from March-May 1981. Nice quality. It's taken from the soundboard, but from a fourth generation analog tape... so the quality isn't crystal clear. There is a slight white noise throughout. Vocals are rarely up to proper mix level. This is a great collection for fans of the studio process outtake. Gospel era fans will have some interest as well. However, all should keep in mind that these are unfinished songs. Some are little more than ideas. There are no hidden 'gems' here that have missed official release, and those seeking the powerful Christian dogma of Saved will be disappointed. Highlights are the bosa nova tune Don't Ever Take Yourself Away, and the bonus tracks. Comes complete with a 12 page color, glossy booklet and essay. The CD is printed with the full color cover photo. © 2000 Craig Pinkerton Bobsboots.com

The bonus tracks are releasable quality. Much better than the proceeding tunes. Mystery Train is a nice rendition of the classic Sam Phillips tune with the sound and feel of the Shot of Love tunes. The outtakes are slightly more laid back, and less angry sounding than the released versions. There seems to be a better flow of the vocals. All are at least as good as the official versions. © 2000 Craig Pinkerton Bobsboots.com |
