5.0 out of 5 stars Great "Lost" Album, November 23, 2000

I know it's a cliche, but this is a real "lost" treasure, a 1968 album of a fine singer-songwriter that deserves wider recognition. Unfortunately one has to decide between the US and Japanese versions of this CD. The US version features the entire LP (first 11 tracks on the CD) plus 3 bonus tracks, all of which are worth having. The Japanese version features the entire LP plus 4 different bonus tracks, all of which are also worth having. My personal preference is the Japanese version (the bonus track, "I Don't Intend to Spend Christmas Without You", covered by Claudine Longet, is a favorite), but you can't go wrong with either version... The US version is packaged in a digipak, the Japanese CD in a standard jewel case. Both come with fine, informative booklets. If only they could have put all the bonus tracks together on one CD....

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, October 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Take a Picture (Audio CD)

I heard some of TAKE A PICTURE on the ALAN HABER show last Sunday and was blown away! I just got the album and it was perfect from top to bottom. It seems that the best album of '00 is from 1968. I guess I became a fan of Margo's writing when I heard SHINE and SUNDAY MORNING on the LINUS OF HOLLYWOOD album a few months back. Now, after hearing TAKE A PICTURE, I'm convinced Margo is one of the best Pop song writers ever. LOVE SONGS, LOVE and SUN are my favorite tracks. It's certainly well worth plunking down the extra money to buy all versions of this record (U.S./Japanese - and I hear there might be a European version soon as well)as each have totally different and wonderful bonus tracks. Every Pop fan must own this gem of a record. Point blank:)
