1.0 out of 5 stars Really A Bad Joke, May 16, 2010

After many years of deletion of the two separate CDs on Edsel Records, this release now is a great joy for all fans of Jim Capaldi. Unfortunately the sound quality is really a bad joke. Instead of what the booklet and the sticker on the jewel case suggests ("Superb Audio Quality"), the CD sounds poorer than the separate CDs on Edsel Records from 1991. If you like good Sound Quality: Save your bucks and look for the Edsel Records Editions.

Finally, after being out of print for years, Raven Records has reissued Jim Capaldi's first two solo records on one disc. First up, Oh How We Danced which has been a favourite since I first heard it back in the '70's. It features all Traffic members from Welcome to the Canteen era (Steve Winwood, Dave Mason, Chris Wood, Ric Grech, and Jim Gordon) plus future members like Barry Beckett alongside Free guitarist Paul Kossoff among others. The album while having a few rockers mostly manages a nice laid back vibe and you can almost feel the smile. The songs are all really good with the exception with one which is just good. Whale Meat Again isn't my favourite but it isn't bad either and had more than a few stand out songs on it. In fact, alot of people prefer Whale Meat over Danced so to each his/her own. Hopefully, Raven will continue to reissue more of Jim's albums on cd.

I first got a hold of " Oh How We Danced " back in the 70's and fell in love with his guitar work. He had to be one of the best around along, with Robin Trower. I still have the album but being also a cat lover it has its fair share of scratches. I would recommend this album to anyone with a touch of romance in their hearts. Just give it a couple of listens and it really grows on you. "Whale Meat Again" was new to me but it hasn't taken me too long for me to re-iterate my previous comment.
