already out at Target saw it yesterday. I think its a Target exclusive. Nick Ashford was someone I greatly admired, had the honor of knowing, and was the real-life inspiration for Cowboy Curtis' hair. RIP Nick. - Pee Wee Herman | |

They may have a Target edition of the cd, but it's on iTunes with a bonus track and booklet. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Based on this review from soultracks.com and the snippets I've heard, I think I'll skip this one.

I guess I'll listen to the sound samples first!
I know.
I don't see a Target edition listed on their site.
Looks like the iTunes version has the bonus track, "Here Comes The Sun." It's listed as $9.99.
Amazon has the better deal. Album is on sale for $3.99 (mp3 cd) and has 2 different bonus trax, "Yesterday" and "I'm Looking Through You." **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

They have done it in the past. They did it with Alicia Keys "As I Am" cd and Musiq Soulchild's "Luvanmusiq" cd. On the iTunes site, it was branded as a "Target Edition" with their logo on the top of the webpage. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
