Starbucks in the UK are selling an unreleased 'Jazz standards' Diana Ross album from 1973. Haven't picked it up. Just saying.

Is that definately going to be the cover....I like it a lot.

I just bought her "Definitive Collection". The order of the songs is pretty terrible (like it was all mixed up. It shouldn't mix the ballads and upbeat songs so much..."The Boss" and "Swept Away" are thrown into the middle of big ballads like "Ain't No Mountian High Enough" and "The Theme From Mahagony"). Still very good and worth extra dough I paid (it was $14.99...meanwhile Amazon sells it for $9.99!).

Yeah, great cover nod
I liked the way they arranged the tracks on the compilation "Love and life", with the first cd, containing the uptempo songs, called "life", and the ballads on the second disc, called "love"...



Speaking of "Ain`t no mountain high enough", i`ve never really liked her version, probably because i LOVE the original, but now i`ve listened a lot to it again, and it isn`t that bad....


I heard the original yesterday after I bought this and yes, it's a much better verison. I just don't get that arrangement but it certainly is different and her own. And I definately got to pick that up...Some of the hits not on there are on "The Defintive Collection". I know it totally sucks but combine the two sets, and you got something good...Such a fucking waste that so many tracks are repeated!

I still haven't fully got into "Blue" but will give it another shot. I figured that was available in record stores in the UK.
