4.0 out of 5 stars Caveat Emptor - Let the Buyer Beware!, April 19, 2008

Beware - although the listing shows the following tracks:

1. I Don't Know Where Love Has Gone
2. If You Know, Won't You Tell Me
3. I'm So Blue and You Are Too
4. Baby, We Better Try to Get It Together
5. You See the Trouble With Me
6. Let the Music Play

This is actually a compilation CD. I've gotten burned by this mis-lead!
The actual listing for this import:

01. You're the first, the last, my everything (04:34)
02. Never gonna Give You Up (04:48)
03. Can't get enough of your love baby (04:30)
04. Come on in Love (03:46)
05. Love Theme (04:08)
06. Honey please can't you see (03:13)
07. I'm gonna love you just a little (04:12)
08. I found someone (03:40)
09. I've got so much to give (03:08)
10. Let the music play (03:32)
11. What am I gonna do with you (03:42)
12. Love Serenade (07:05)

No wonder the pricing is between ($5/US to $15/US). I'm going to petition
Amazon to fix this...inaccuracy. My recommendation if you want the actual Album/CD is to contact the seller first for the track listing. Else you may end up like me...

Good luck!

I rate the Barry White's music 5 stars (as always)...0 stars for the inaccurate track listing!!

This album is a great piece of work. Barry captured the real atmosfere of love and passion to do this long play.
Everything is there: violins, deep voice, backing vocals, the arrangements and the Barry's stile.
Great album!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Big Man's Breakup album. . ., April 11, 2007

This review is from: Let the Music Play (Audio CD)

On "Let the Music Play," the late great Barry White's improbably successful mix of symphonic soul hums along like a well-oiled machine. The big difference here is that White is possessed of the kind of heartache that no amount of pillow talk will soothe. The sadness and despair on "Let The Music Play" are palpable; the theme of love gone sour threads through every song on the album. The title cut, for instance, finds the hero enroute to a nightclub, frantically trying to ease the pain of a troubled home life. The music is as cheerfully romantic and bouncy as "Love's Theme," White's no. 1 instrumental smash with the Love Unlimited Orchestra, but this time the words and White's delivery speak of loneliness, desperation and futility. Elsewhere, White has never sounded so despondent as on "I'm so Blue, And You are too," which is perhaps his most convincing and best-written opus: it's the anguished cry of a man who holds onto a glimmer of hope, even as he concedes that his relationship is over. Throughout his career, White was often pilloried for his triteness and borderline vulgarity (not to mention his physical size), which often made him an easy target for parody. But the depth of feeling on "Let the Music Play" effectively succeeds in laying to rest any doubts about his enormously innovative musicality, his vision and talent. "Let the Music Play" is quite an impressive fall from the lovesick musings of "Never Gonna Give You Up"
