this may be the first deluxe edition i ever seen that does not have bonus tracks.

Rock Candy used to call each of their releases a Collector's Edition. Now they appear to be switching to everything being called a Deluxe Edition. The deluxeness in this case is remastering and an expanded booklet.

i read that, and i'd imagine that were not many extras from the sessions.

when this first came out it really kind of slid by the wayside un-noticed. most likely because it was so un-chicago like

for those that never heard it, it is not the syrupy ballad prone peter cetera that came later, not in the least bit.

Cetera hasn't only done "syrupy ballads" in his solo career, but those are the songs that were hits for him. There's a lot of great stuff in his solo catalog, although I won't claim that he ever did any edgy rock & roll. Even his breakthrough album, Solitude/Solitaire, wasn't as schmaltzy as people assume, once you get past the two huge hits. I highlighted that album in 2016 as part of my Thirty Year Thursday series, where I wrote: "The rest of the album is mostly upbeat rock/pop with the expected synthetic sheen of the era" and "I realize I’m unlikely to convince anyone, especially stubborn rock fans and people who hate ‘80s pop music, that Peter Cetera’s solo material is worth checking out, but if you ever loved his voice during his Chicago years you’ll find a lot to enjoy in his solo discography, and Solitude/Solitaire is a great place to start."

Okay, I'll get off my Cetera-loving soapbox now. For anyone who's curious, here's the post I wrote about that album:

Bump: This has been pushed back to August 31st.

I do remember hearing "Living In The Limelight" on the Boston rock stations.

Good song.

Peter Cetera seems pretty soft compared to Rock Candy’s usual fare of harder rock

First thing that came to mind, maybe they are branching out in styles. Other than Living In the Limelight (maybe) nothing on the LP fits in with the heavier rock that Rock Candy specializes in.

Rock Candy has reverted to its usual "Collector's Edition" designation for this release, probably because of the confusion that Renny brought up about what "Deluxe Edition" means if there are no bonus tracks.

Although the CD is already in stock at Amazon USA, Amazon UK now shows it as being released tomorrow (September 14th) and has reduced the price to budget level, just £5.99:

glad to have been of assistance....................................anytime

Renny, Renny, Renny... what really counts is that deluxe FEELING you get with this.

i bought this years and years ago form.....get ready........thoughtscape sounds!

anyone else remember thoughtscape sounds? i think they were based in arkansas or alabama and they had a great selection of things you just couldn't get anywhere else

so yes, i have had that FEELING for quite a while..

and as a side-bar to all things musical with pre-orders for physical product, PLEASE take it into consideration that I am not the only audiophile who's given money to Gold Legion as a pre-order for a cd, only to have that cd never actually released. and Gold Legion will neither refund the money or return my emails. BUYER BEWARE!
