For my undying love of the debute "Pain In My Heart" check earlier post. This forth album is a little more anonymous. Not that it lacks any of that beautiful skill or energy, but the material don't stand out like on his earlier ones and non of the tracks became big hits or eternal classics. The LP did ok with #54 on Bilboard and #22 in UK, but only one single - "Just One More Day" - climbed into Billboard Hot 100. That said - this is a good one! May take more time to get into but once you're there it's worth every second. It's such a good atmosphere - backing both exact and cozy and his vocals emotive with tons of feeling. A mix of up-tempo and ballads, of which I like the latter better on this platter, cause the calmer cuts give more space to his voice, exposing it wistful and very touching. So even without known highlights or hits it's a solid whole, digging deep into soul. Audio on this mono is tophole, big clear and natural. Never heard another issue so I can't compare, but doubt there's much better out there anywhere. Other early releases in Canada (ATCO same number), New Zealand (Atlantic SAL 932880), Italy (Atlantic ATL LP 09007) and UK (Atlantic 587/8 011). Also as US stereo (S-413). Premiere US had label as shown here and glossy cover. (YZÄ*) (ÖXCÅ*)(ÖRÖ*) (TÄX*)
