It's refreshing to see a release like this-not some slapdash cheapo CD, but two great albums lovingly remastered, with all the liner notes, lyrics and photos. This excellent music is deserving of the royal treatment. Other major record companies, take note: this is what we want.

Just a few hours ago I was reorganizing my ancient vinyl collection and ran across the Dave Mason section. The two LPs represented in this CD reissue are at the heart of that group, and in case you're not very familiar with Mason, let me take a moment here while you click on some of the tune samples as you read along.

Mason is best remembered as a onetime member of Steve Winwood's early-70s band Traffic, and for his late-70s hit "We Just Disagree." In between those moments of notoriety, he released some of the finest, smoothest, most grown-up rock'n'roll music ever made, always laced with a healthy helping of his wonderfully understated but rich guitar.

Listen to what a silky voice this guy had at his peak, and make no mistake, this was his peak period. "Baby...Please" is an uptempo piece with a churning, urgent undercurrent that fits the lyric, and is followed by "Every Woman," one of the loveliest romantic pieces around. ...P>Any pop/rock fan other than the metal-only crowd will enjoy this collection. If the samples sound good to you, I assure you the rest of the set will sound just as good if not better. Enjoy.

I have always thought "It's Like You Never Left" was a fabulous Dave Mason album, with strong melodies and great singing and playing. I've loved it since the days I played it on the radio as a college DJ. For years, I've been waiting for it to be released on CD. Here it finally is, and it sounds as terrific as ever.

The biggest surprise for me was the other album included here, "Dave Mason." It is as good as "Never Left," and includes a second great version of "Every Woman."

For the Dave Mason fan, this double-album CD is indispensable.
