PROMISED LAND - SONY 506020 975019
Recordings 1973

Cover
Stax Studio sessions - December 1973

This 2 CD Classic Album update from Follow That Dream contains
all masters, several previously released and new outtakes.

The sound quality is in general very good. However, the masters from
Vic Anesini made (transferred) in 2007 are not to
my liking. Too much echo!

There are some gems on the outtakes featured here. The rehearsal of
'Love Song Of The Year' brings a smile now an then.

Take 1 of 'Promised Land' has been left out - a strange decision!
However as you listen to all the outtakes of the title track
it is fascinating that take 6 - the master - is way better
then the previous five! The master is a real classic! It shines
even more in undubbed format as found on disc 2.
