4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful but flawed, May 30, 2008

Before I begin whining, let me say first that I am quite happy that someone has taken the time to release this classic seventies pop album on CD for the first time. So I'm prepared to award about 8 stars to this CD just for existing at all.

But then I have to say
- minus one star for having none of the original artwork
- minus one star for having no liner notes or credits of any kind (somebody wrote these songs, yes? mention their names someplace, is that asking too much?)
- minus one star for being a CDR release and not saying so in large friendly letters; perhaps all releases on this Amazon-only label are CDRs, but I'm sure I have some equipment somewhere that is incompatible with this recording
- minus one star for misidentifying the song as "He Did It With Me", perhaps if there were liner notes a proofreader would have been hired

Ms. Lawrence released many 45rpm singles which have never been compiled onto a CD, predating this album and as late as 1979. So there's still an opportunity for someone to release a deluxe edition of this recording that includes some of those singles (and, while they're at it, maybe a head shot so today's youth might be able to identify what she looks like).

i was very upset there is no cover art of vicki lawrence, no liner notes, it looks like a bootleg but its not, next time but a little more care in releasing a long awaited album with a little more detail

I'm so glad to see Vicki's only recording being released on CD. I only wish it had the original artwork. However, it still sounds great!
