What a great surprise this cd release is. Alternate takes on songs you Helen Reddy die hards already know (I Am Woman, Blue, Don't (You) Mess With A Woman and Songs), mixed with brand new songs, which makes this cd worth owning. Me And My Love and Lullaby are great. Each song is very different, one is upbeat and the other a ballad. If you're familiar with the Carole King co-written No Sad Songs, here it is sung in French, called Plus De Chansons Tristes, and it's a highlight of the cd in my opinion. Rhythm Rhapsody is here too and if you have ever gone to any of Helen's shows, you'll remember this as her opening number. This is a slightly different take on the live version. If you are a long time Helen Reddy fan, I don't think you will be disappointed in this collection. As a long time HR fan, I am very happy to have this cd, especially since Helen no longer sings or makes new music.

Capitol Records was the recording home for Helen Reddy for most of her years as a recording artist. It was at Capitol that Reddy recorded all of her legendary hits such as "I Am Woman", "Delta Dawn" and "Angie Baby".

Helen Reddy quit recording in the nineties and at that time the world lost one of its greatest vocalists and that is why it is so spectacular that Capitol has now released a entire CD of lost tracks from Reddy's career. These songs are far from filler tracks and sound as fresh as the day they were recorded.

"Me And My Love" is so good it should have been a single, "Blue" is a irresistable sing along and "Tell Jack" is sassy and fun.

What a great gift from Capitol and Helen Reddy.

5.0 out of 5 stars An eclectic collection that includes one of her finest performances., August 23, 2009

This release is an eclectic mix of songs - some demos, a couple of dance remixes, and songs that didn't make it onto the albums for which they were originally recorded. The absolute gem of the collection is "Lullaby" - written by Helen Reddy and Carol Bayer Sager. If the CD had contained only this one song it would still have been worth the price.
