Description
2 CD Set from ORLEANS. Best known for its hits "Dance with Me" (1975), "Still the One", from the album Waking and Dreaming (1976) and "Love Takes Time" (1979). The group's name evolved from the music it was playing at the time of their formation, which was inspired by Louisiana artists such as Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers. Orleans was formed in Woodstock, New York in January 1972 by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Hall, vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Larry Hoppen and drummer/percussionist Wells Kelly. In October of that year, the group expanded to include Larry's younger brother, Lance, on bass. Drummer Jerry Marotta joined in 1976, completing the quintet. Disc one is a live synopsis of the past 40 years. Disc two includes cuts From RIDE (1996), DANCIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT (2005), the two most recent CDs from the band and new takes on the Greatest Hits.

"Like yours, Orleans' lifespan has been full of ups and downs, triumphs and tragedys. In the end, whether good, bad or indifferent, as the title track's lyric states, 'All is well, and this too shall pass.' Please help us celebrate both merely surviving and joyously thriving for the last 40+ years by having a listen to what we've put together in this collection. Beyond the hand-picked favorites you may (or may not) have on other Orleans CDs, what's NEW on these discs? 2012 studio sound-alike remakes of Still the One, Dance With Me and Love Takes Time by Larry, Lance and John (with Charlie). You'll be amazed at how close we got to the originals! The last master recordings by Larry and Lance in 2011 ... Asking Too Much and the title track, No More Than You Can Handle." -- Orleans

I just wish they'd remaster and reissue all of the original albums, from Asylum through Infinity.

I have this...they released it through their web site a few years ago. I also hope they reissue the first two Orleans albums (the second one was only available as an import). Larry Hoppen did give me burned copies of Japanese import cds but I would rather get reissues

Real Gone released Power in 2015.....out of print (so, I guess it is real gone)
