5.0 out of 5 stars Two favorites finally on CD!, March 15, 2007

By	Allen Chapman (STAFFORD SPRINGS, CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The last of the 2fer import titles includes two of my favorite Dolly RCA albums. The first is 1983's "Burlap & Satin" which includes some of Dolly's classics. The first is the incredible "Appalchian Memories" which she has since changed to "Smokey Mountain Memories", same song, different title. This is the original version and one of her best. The album includes Dolly's pop hit "Potential New Boyfriend" which was a hit at the time but has since become somewhat forgettable. The album includes one of Dolly's tearjerkers in "A Gamble Either Way", it ends with the gospel number "Calm On The Water" which contains a chorus that Dolly would use again years later in her song "High And Mighty".
The second half of this disc is Dolly's last RCA album, "Real Love". The album doesn't really sound like her other albums, she seemed to be on automatic pilot for this one, but it's a great collection either way. The overall theme for the album is clearly "love" as the word appears in four of the albums ten titles. It also includes "I Hope You're Never Happy" which was heard in her movie "Rhinestone", although not by her in the movie. This album also features one of my favorite Dolly album covers.
A word about all of these reissues, all three feature notes and original album cover artwork, front and back, and liner notes. It also interesting to note that, although not intentional the album covers as paired together here all look similar to each other.
Thanks to Stephen Munns for heading this project, perhaps we can get Dolly's 1982 album "Heartbreak Express" on CD in the near future.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite In This Collection, March 24, 2007

By	Jurai's Heir "Tenchi Masaki" (Denham Springs, LA, USA) - See all my reviews

Finally after all these years two wonderful Pop/Country albums that first were released on LP, are on one CD together. "Burlap & Satin" features one of Dolly Parton's most beautiful album covers that she's ever made & the artcover to "Real Love" is equally beautiful.

The album's first ten songs are from "Burlap & Satin" which were released in 1983. They contain some of Dolly's best of the 1980s like the moving & heartbreaking "Appalachian Memories" which she wrote for her father who tryed making it in the big city, but couldn't, it also is one of Dolly's fan's favorites too. A enjoyable "I Really Don't Want To Know" which is a duet with Willie Nelson and "Potential New Boyfriend" which was a top twenty country single (even though it's more Pop) and was accompanied by Dolly's first ever music video. Another songs on the first half are kind of forgettable but still good like "A Cowboy's Ways" and "A Gamble Either Way" which were outtake songs from Dolly's movie "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas".

The second half of the album is from "Real Love" which was released in 1985 and was Dolly's last album for RCA. The second part also contains more pop then "Burlap & Satin" contained. The highlighted songs from the second half is "Think About Love", "Tie Our Love (In A Double Knot)", "Don't Call It Love" and "Real Love" (a duet with Kenny Rogers that reached #91 on the U.S. pop charts). My only problem with this two albums on one disc is the sound, it's very low and theres no bass in any of the songs, however the price is great!.

Both of these albums include their original artwork from the LPs inside the CD booklet, it also haves linernotes, but no lyrics.
