Up to now this Collectables piece with its very inferior sound quality was the only place you could get Bettye Swann's Money recordings. This CD is basically a straight reissue of the original Money label "Make Me Yours" album, all in mono and in unfortunately mediocre sound quality.

Subsequently, however, Ace's (from the U.K.) Kent subsidiary label has released Swann's "Make Me Yours" album with many additional bonus tracks (catalogue number CDKEND 197). Most of the songs (except one) are the rare stereo versions of the album's tracks. While the sound is slightly different from the mono mixes, the sound quality is light years ahead of what was used to produce this Collectables piece. Also, there are many additional tracks including some mono mixes of the singles that are part of the stereo album tracks. There are 24 tracks altogether making it far more generous than this Collectables CD. As usual, Kent (Ace) has done an excellent job with that reissue.

Unless you are absolutely desperate for the stand-alone mono version of the "Make Me Yours" album, pass on this Collectables piece and check out the Kent CD. Ace is the best and biggest reissue label in the U.K. and its products are readily available in the U.S. Bottom line, pass on this Collectables piece and seek out the Kent version.

Appalling sound quality. Even the most casual listener couldn't fail to cringe at this! Great album much improved by the extra tracks on the expanded version (which is issued on a very reliable label). You've been warned!!!

This song (Make Me Yours) by Bettye Swann and Barbara Acklins' "Love Makes A Woman" are, in my opinion, the best two R&B singles by solo female artists from the sixties! If you haven't heard them yet, you need to!

i rember this song from when i was a little girl. And i love it

I LIKE THE SONG MAKE ME YOURS ON THIS CD, HOWEVER THAT IS THE ONLY SONG ON THIS CD THAT I REALLY LIKE.
