In case anyone missed the discussion of this LP within the Marvin Gaye "Trouble Man" thread, I thought I'd add a thread specifically for it (although all credit for finding this reissue goes to Rock'n'Roll Elitist), since my copy arrived today. This is the album's first time on CD, although most of the tracks can be found scattered around various Diana Ross deluxe editions.

01.Lovin`, Livin` & Givin`
02.What You Gave Me
03.Never Say I Don`t Love You
04.You Were The One
05.Reach Out. I`ll Be There
06.Sorry Doesn`t Always Make It Right
07.Where Did We Go Wrong
08.To Love Again
09.Together

I received my copy of this CD in the mail yesterday, and it's excellent. Sound quality, everything. There's no bonus cuts on the CD, it's a strict reissue, but seeing as this album hasn't come out on CD anywhere else in the world (other than Japan), it's great to have. I believe this particular mix of "Together" has never been issued on CD before. Originally, this mix was both on this album and two years later as the B-side of "It's My Turn". Only an alternate mix has been on CDs (and I think it's been labeled the "single mix" - although this was never an A-side single. If it was a B-side of something besides "It's My Turn", perhaps that's where it was originally released.) I was told by a Universal source that this was the only one of the 8 recent Ross Japanese album releases that was remastered for this series of reissues. The other 7 albums had previously been remastered for US CD releases and those versions were used for the Japanese CDs (without bonus cuts, I believe). So this album had to be newly remastered, as it had never been reissued on CD before. Nice mastering job.
