Audiophiles, run for cover!

Great performances deserve maximum recording quality. Castle music missed the boat on this record. Half of it is monaural and probably processed from phonograph records. I applaud Castle's effort to make this music available but at what cost?

Buy the Rhino pressings, They are the best.

Here I Am -- Pure & Perfect Dionne Warwick

What an absolute high to find "Here I Am" on CD. I've lovingly cared for my two copies of the LP for 33 years! It is the definitive Dionne Warwick. Oh! And the reason I have two copies of the LP -- I sent one to my then fiance over 33 years ago -- we're going on 34 years in October! Just wanted to give him, what I considered, the ultimate!!!

NICE, BUT NOT HER BEST STUFF!

This is such a good idea (reissuing Dionne's old albums on CD after all these years). As an ardent fan, I was excited about this release in particular, because it contains Dionne's first Gold album, Here Where There Is Love. I must admit that I prefer Dionne's work from the late sixties and beyond, when her sound was more mature; this set captures the tail-end of the mid-sixties period. Nonetheless, it contains some fine work, with such tunes as "Go With Love" that you won't find anywhere else. A good buy!
