Just got Volume 2 and 3 today.
I have to admit, I am quite suprised it appears they are including everything in the catalog.
Deep In My Soul and Big Time are unbelievably obscure and not very good IMO. Smokey didn't write a single tune on Deep In My Soul and Big Time has a lot of meandering musak. Even so, I am pumped for this series to finish out.
My main concern is for some of the future albums if they keep going the 2fer route.
Songs like I've Made Love To You A Thousand Times have always been the truncated version on every other Smokey CD release. I just REALLY hope they do the next albums right and don't put abridged versions out there to fill them on one CD. [Edited 11/19/10 9:16am] | |

Well, it's a soundtrack, so it's just supposed to be background music for the movie. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Warm Thoughts and Essar are the two albums I want to own the most. I could never tire of "Close Encounters Of The First Kind" ; it's one of his best and overlooked songs. | |

No I know that. I'm just suprised/impressed they are including it in the rereleases as it doesnt really have any songs save one. | |

Warm Thoughts - Most definitely
Let Me Be The clock is such a monster tune. Great album. Probably the best/most consistent after the first three. | |

Instrumental music are songs. Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man soundtrack is mostly instrumentals. I don't really pay attention to lyrics, just the way the singer vocalizes, so it doesn't matter to me if songs have words or not.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |
