They butchered this album on CD

I too, loved this 2 album set. They butchered this album when they put it on CD. LIVE means that, live. They took out all the bantering Barry did with the audience, his talk of his jingles, everything. That effects the whole character of the album, plus they took off 'Beautiful Music'. What where they thinking? It was a number one seller as a two album set, why wouldn't we love it on 2 cd's? Can we get this re released in its total form? I'd buy it in an instant.

Incomplete - Disappointing

If you own the 2 LP Album, please be warned that the CD isn't complete. Much missing. I loved the album very much and wore out my copy, so I was psyched to see that this came out on CD. I immediately bought it not even thinking that it wouldn't contain everything the LPs did. That is why I titled this review "Incomplete - Disappointing". Don't get me wrong, though, if you have never heard the LPs, then you won't be disappointed. This is a great recording, just wish it was the same as the LPs.

Yeah Barry, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is THE Barry Manilow album! Got it new back in '77 (columbia house, believe i received a free transistor radio for joining). Wore out the record. All the best songs, flows well. Weekend in New England #1 in my book. Looks like we made it, Mandy, etc. If you want to hear classic Barry, it's the only album (i guess CD) you'll need. You won't be disappointed! I'm, I'm starting to cry . . ........
