I know we talked about this album being reissued a while back.

I placed my order when it was first announced & have waited ages for it to be delivered.
Yesterday the postman finally delivered my copy . . .

I have to say this is how a reissue should be handled from the artwork, the liner notes, behind the scenes photos . . . they have done Phyllis proud.

I know as far as Phyllis' Arista catalogue goes this is not a fave amongst her fans but I would highly recommend you picking up a copy.

the liner notes are so informative detailing the writing process etc (I had no idea Tina Turner's "whats love got to do with it" was offered to Phyllis 1st)

the company behind this reissue are "Reel Music" I hope they get their hands on a few more sought after 70's & 80's albums as they have done a sterling job on this album.

I just got Prime Of My Life [1991] on CD.

I LOVE PRIME OF MY LIFE!!!! "When I Give My Love This Time" has gotten me through a few rough patches in life.

I just discovered her work the other night and I really like the unreleased James Bond theme she did...

I love her!

Waiting on my delivery as we speak. Have been waiting on them to release this on CD for ages. Should arrive early next week, can't wait!

It's hard to pick a favorite album by Phyllis.I'm leaning towards 'Living All Alone',but then there's 'Can't We Fall In Love Again' to consider too

SoulAlive said:

I know I sound white, but I am so new to her! I will be taking your post into consideration here.

Harlepolis told me a long time ago to get familiar.

Love love love Phyllis, she's of my favorites! Thanks for the info. Going to place my order!!

Just went to their website...this news is more exciting!

Phyllis Hyman - "Somewhere In My Lifetine". (August 2010). The original album finally on CD plus two bonus tracks - the 12" mixes of "Kiss You All Over" and "So Strange"

1978 - "Somewhere In My Life Time", oh my.


I think this was reissued in'08, this album HAS to be in your collection, my favorite.

Cinnie said:

If you start with her "You Know How To Love Me" album and work your way up, you might do ok. I fell in love with her after hearing "Old Friend". Here are some of my favorite Phyllis songs.

It was reissued a few years ago as a Japan import. This will be the first domestic reissue. I already have the Japan CD but may order this one anyway for the liner notes.

great songs daPrettyman.

Phyllis was the real deal! I think she was a better singer,with better songs,than Anita Baker and several other more popular female R&B singers.

SoulAlive said:

I wouldn't say "better." To me, a lot of the popular/famous female singers of the late 70s and 80s all had distinctive sounds. Phyllis, Angela Bofil, Anita Baker, etc. are all excellent singers, just different in their style and approach.

SoulAlive said:

Anita Baker can't touch Ms. Hyman, not in a dream. I'm not sure what's happened but I've reached the point, I can't deal with Ms.Baker's singing. Maybe it's my mother's utter comptempt for that woman's singing has gotten to me.

TD3 said:

I know exactly where u r coming from. Though I think Anita can sing, I had to take a LONG break from her music. It has only been in the last year that I could listen to her again.

TD3 said:

I hear ya

syl said:

Cool! I never had that album before,so this will be my first time hearing it.I'm gonna order it.

SoulAlive said:

You betta get tha...tha..that album, it's a must if you are a serious Phyllis Hyman listener. Got me stuttering.

Enjoy.
