I just received the "Best of Paul Davis" CD from Wounded Bird Records. Though the amazon release date is still 3 months away, the CD is already available on Wounded Bird's own website and mine arrived in the mail today. It has the following single mixes in case anyone is looking for these:

Love Or Let Me Be Lonely
'65 Love Affair
Cool Night
I Go Crazy
Keep Our Love Alive
I Just Want to Keep It Together
Can't You
Boogie Woogie Man

All in all, it has 22 songs (the original 10 songs on the 1982 LP + 12 bonus cuts!) Definitely worth the price. I've been looking for the single mix of "Love Or Let Me Be Lonely" on CD for over 25 years! It has a unique 3rd verse not featured on the album version or any other CD.

I went to the Wounded Bird site to order this, and was very surprised to see a notice saying that Wounded Bird is no longer accepting orders from New York State. Does anyone have any idea why? As mentioned earlier in this thread, other online retailers are showing a July release date. I'd like to purchase it now from Wounded Bird, but I'm apparently excluded from doing so because I live in New York State. Strange...

They don't want to be responsible for collecting taxes.

Jim, maybe you can have a friend in another state buy it and send it to you. I, too, have always guessed it's a "tax" issue since Wounded Bird is located in NY and doesn't sell to NY.

Cool! Thanks for the info. Is there a mastering engineer credited?

Are the single mixes significantly different from the album versions?

No. And Wounded Bird never gives engineer credits so this doesn't surprise me. But I have been in direct contact with someone in the Sony Legacy department and the master tapes were definitely used for this. Wounded Bird is a legit label and nothing comes from vinyl, like certain other labels that don't bother tracking down master tapes.

The biggest differences are "Love Or Let Me Be Lonely" - which has a whole section (with new vocals) that isn't even found on the album version (that's the difference on that one, the mix for the main part of the song is the same), and probably '65 Love Affair", which is significantly faster than the typical album version found on most CDs. It's a nice collection of 22 songs.
