Nothing can transport you back in time and consume you with wonderful memories like the music you grew up with. The "chalypso" theme described by Kittie Page in the Romantic's music, together with their tight, silky smooth harmony conjures up memories that would get even the most innocent daydreamer in trouble with his/her spouse. This is music in its rarest, perfect form... the kind that takes you back to the "best of times"!

Ruby was one great singer; that song brought back memories of the Chalypso, and was one of the few songs out there that you Could Chalypso to. Loved it then! and now!

Where is "Moonlight and Music," the flip side to the 45 record hit "Our day will come?" It was a wierd sounding song, but we played it anyway and it brings back memories. This CD has full sound, bass has a good kick, overall much better than the old 45 ever sounded that we played on old record player back in the 1960s.

Missing are "Stranger On The Shore" and "Lonely People Do Foolish Things" among others.

All I want to know is: will the Feb.23, 2003 RUBY & THE ROMANTICS Cd anthology also include RUBY's original[but very obscure]versions of that monster CARPENTER'S 1972 hit single, 'HURTING EACH OTHER' and also the Carpenters revival of 'YOUR BABY DOESN'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE' from 1983 cd-album, which was issued shortly after KAREN's passing? Richard wrote in the liner notes for the cd version of A SONG FOR YOU(Carpenters-1972) they covered HURTING EACH OTHER(#2 chart gold single), with a completely different arrangement than RUBY & CO.'s bossa-nova version. I'd love to hear the original versions of those two songs, though better known by the Carpenters.
