No doubt about the quality of the songs and Albert Lee's skills, but buyers should know that, in comparison to the original vinyl on A&M and Polydor, the stereo channels are swapped on all tracks on this CD reissue, thus being of no real interest to the serious collector. So 5 stars for the music and 1 star for those responsible for the remastering process.

Albert Lee has been delighting me since his days with Heads Hands and Feet. I have always been a rock fan except for Albert Lee. His music is so well done and just plain pleasant to listen to that it draws me right in. His guitar skills are as good as anyone in the buisness. His guitar is always there but never overpowering. This CD contains material I originally bought on record more years ago than I'd care to admit. It still sounds as fresh and clean as it did all those years ago. I would recommend this CD to anyone with an ear for dazzling guitar work with a country flavor. His choice of material os first rate and the recording quality of the CD is also first rate. Buy this thing and you'll like it.

I have owned both these albums on vinyl since I saw Albert Lee playing with Eric Clapton on the "Money & Cigarettes" tour in the early '80's. Before that, Lee was a member of Emmylou Harris' Hot Band.

The guitar work on "Country Boy" is outstanding. Other favorites are "Sweet Little Lisa" and the John Hiatt-penned "Pink Bedroom".

This is highly recommended.

The service and product are excellent and the information on the product is good before and after the sale. I would recomend this service to anyone.

I had a cassette tape of a friend's version of these two albums. Even the vinyl was out of print and I have been waiting for their release on CD.

Hauntingly good tunes, and great early guitar work. Buy 'em.
