It's about time Batdorf&Rodney was released on cd.The Holland import of Life Is you has great sound quality,And is true to the original recording.Now if someone was smart,They would release the other two albums in Thier catologe,Batdorf&Rodney and thier second album Off The Shelf on cd.How great that would be.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bad Production!, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Life Is You (Audio CD)

If you're into Batdorf and Rodney, you know how wondeful it is to have at least some CD reference, and how deeply disappointing it is that the duo's catalog isn't on CD. Well, I purchased this CD as an import and the sound mix was/is awful. The song "Is it Love," my favorite on the disc, is obscured at the beginning and the production value throughout the CD ranks below the original vinyl. I was hoping it was just my CD, but I purchased "Life is You" for a friend and his copy also sounded muddled. Did I send it back? Ar you kidding?? Getting B & R on a CD, even with a questionable sound mix, is nearly heaven. My vinyl is so worn out it looks like a mountain range and sounds like rain. Now, if we could get the first two LPs on CD, produced by an American company, I'd be absolutely overjoyed. Also, John Batdorf had a nice, acoustic-driven CD out titled "Batdorf & McLean," a few years ago, but it seems it's impossible to find now.

5.0 out of 5 stars life is you, May 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Life Is You (Audio CD)

After growing up in the 70s and listening to Batdorf and Rodneys albums on vinyl its quite refreshing to hear the life is you on compact disc. the way they can harmonize together is like a cross between the everly brothers and croby stills and nash .If only they coulld release their 1st album with the songs home again and poor mans dream.
