1.0 out of 5 stars A Great Album Deserves Better Sound, September 13, 2008

Do not be fooled by either the release date of this album (Feb. 2008)or the blurb about it being a limited edition 2007 Japanese pressing. What you will get is a standard CD with the same artwork and packaging that it has always had. The mastering sounds pre-1990, claustrophobic and inauthentic. Yes, the price can't be beat and for some people that's enough. But this album deserves to be heard with modern mastering. Anyone who cares about good sound, save your money, listen to your vinyl. Sony will probably remaster this shortly.

"Souvenirs" is one of Dan Fogelberg's strongest works. This is a fairly eclectic collection.

You can find a song for almost every mood here. There's the sparkling upbeat opener "Part of the Plan" which received most of the airplay from this collection. "Someone's Been Telling You Stories" rolls out in a smoky tempo taking the part of a man who's been lied about. "Song from Half Mountain" is just Dan singing with his guitar, telling the story of a beautiful part of nature in such a personal way that he could almost be in your living room.

There's really no bad Dan Fogelberg and I've said that before his untimely death. I'd neglected to upgrade "Souvenirs" from vinyl and I'm very glad I did.

Timeless, Timeless, Timeless!!!! Great Sophomore album from the great Dan Fogelberg. Dan had the best of the best back him up on this album/cd. For the non Fogelberg fan, that want to cross over? Dan's voice is higher and softer than later recordings,due to tonsils being removed later in career. He's voice is "Awesome" and his acoustic guitar is just "Magical". Dan can also play one heck of a electric guitar. Listen to it and say "WoW!, that cool looking dude on the cover did this?? This is a must for everyone to treasure.
