Search - New Birth :: Love Potion

Poor sound quality and missing track on this reissue.

""Love Potion," for me at least, ranks among New Birth's finest recordings. Unfortunately, this reissue, while retaining the original's cover art and sporting insightful notes on the recording, should be avoided in favor of the original LP (if you can find it) for 4 reasons:

1 - it's missing a track ("Hurry Hurry");

2 - the tracks that are there are featured in the incorrect running order;

3 - the sound quality is really poor - one would be better served by ripping their vinyl onto CD-r with the aid of any basic sound editing program;

4 - "We Are All God's Children," a beautiful 7-minute epic on the original LP, is split into 2 parts!



An extremely disappointing reissue."

Missing

"I love this album but the very song I bought it for is missing. The song Hurry, hurry is mislabeled and is half of one of the other songs on the album. The tag information of the tracks are incorrect. It was recorded from a LP, you can hear the scratches and pops if you listen carefully. The audio quality is poor. I could have done a better job myself."

Very Bad LP Transfer!

"Good album, but the main complaint has to be the very poor quality of the CD! The music was transferred from a very scratchy LP, and is very disappointing. I would agree with a previous reviewer that you are better off with an original LP to burn to CDr"
