4.0 out of 5 stars REISSUED, BUT NOT REMASTERED, April 1, 2005

This review is from: Swept Away (Audio CD)

I have the original RCA release of this CD (long out of print but I bought a used one on ebay a few years ago).

As soon as I saw that it was being re-issued, I thought finally a remasterd version would sound so much better. While EMI may have done a little bit of digital remastering I doubt they used the original master tapes because this reissue only sounds slightly better than the old RCA version. The sound level is still very low, the highs are harsh and the bass is very weak.

Even the CD itself still has a date on it of 1984, and the CD is still made the way they were in the early days - no silkscreen top coat, just plain laquer (CD's are more susceptable to scratching this way).

The song Swept Away is one of my favorites by Ross and of that style of dance music from the early 80's. I guess I'll just have to wait to see if EMI or RCA or someone else will ever remaster from the original tapes this CD or at least the album version of Swept Away.

This review is from: Swept Away (Audio CD)

this is another DIANA ROSS rca product and one of her best along with the RED HOT AND BLUES CD.on this outing DIANA leaves most of the producing to other people which in this case makes a better album.Not only does this lp feature classic Ross hits such as MISSING YOU,SWEPT AWAY, and the r@b hitTELEPHONE but the album eases along with some great lp cuts and strong vocals by ross such as NOBODY DRIVES ME CRAZY LIKE YOU,ITS YOUR MOVE,FOREVER YOUNG and the uk hit TOUCH BY TOUCH.only one down fall is the inclusion of WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD,instead of the lost track FIGHT FOR IT.This track would have made the lp more urban.Ross also does a good job on a cover RESCUE ME,and after hearing it you forget who originally sang it.The CHILDREN OF THE WORLD is a bit weak and rather schmaltzy.Diana has never been either.9 out 10 tracks are ross classics.one of her best.check out RED HOT AND BLUE cd.

Swept Away stands the test of time. Great songs, including the wonderful ballad 'All of You'. So glad this LP was put on a CD.
