>> Last Time I Saw Him, a classic Diana Ross album overlooked in the digital era, finally makes its CD debut. Recorded and released in 1973, Last Time I Saw Him, with its track written Michael Masser and Pam Sawyer, was the follow-up to Dianna's No.1 Touch Me In The Morning. Masser, the Four Seasons' Bob Gaudio and Motown's own Ron Miller and Tom Baird contributed to the LP; one of Baird's tracks, "Turn Around, written by Harry Belafonte, was a holdover from a previously unreleased album. <<

Note ~ the first two volumes in Hip-O's Singles series for James Brown are still available ...

Volume One:

Volume Two:

I'll bet the folks who paid the Select premium price are not pleased.

Just about every Hip-O release since their version of The Jam's Snap a couple of years ago has gone to general release fairly soon afterwards, and then you get the added bonuses (at Amazon at least) of free shipping and sometimes even cheaper third party dealer prices. (I'm impatient but I try to think of it as Hip-O's site being the "import", and I'm waiting for the less expensive "domestic" version to appear at the big retailer websites.)

I'm waiting for the Armatrading & Frampton's to do this...!

These?

Yes. Interesting that the Armatrading isn't any cheaper. At least Amazon's shipping is less! And anyone paying $44 for the Frampton, is getting just what they deserve (fleeced)!

These 2 have been on my back burner list for quite awhile due to lack of $'s & the fact I have the Armatrading on vinyl. For those who don't own the J.A. this is her second best album (i.e. it's excellent), in my opinion her best is a promo only live LP A&M did a year or 2 before this one which i also have on vinyl.

I know quite a few Diana Ross solo & Supremes albums are about to reissued, Does anyone know if "Baby it's Me" is going to be reissued anytime soon?
