"The purchase of this cd allowed me to hear Nancy's stunning version of "I've Never Been to Me" for the first time as well as "You're As Right As Rain" and others. Her albums from the seventies aren't as fondly remembered as her sixties albums but she did turn out some great music during that decade. The bulk of the tracks on this 2 cd set come from her sixties albums. "I'm Beginning to See the Light", from her live album, "The Nancy Wilson Show", is the first track from that album to make it on cd. It makes you wish that whole album were available on compact disc, ideally with previously unreleased bonus tracks."

60'S-70'S OVERLOOKED CLASSICS!! BRAVO NANCY WILSON!!!

"It looks like nobody is at the helm over at the Capitol Tower and once again it took somebody with some taste and knowledge from an Import division to release some of the sadly overlooked gems from Nancy Wilson's vast and brilliant 70's catalog. What is the problem over at the Capitol Towers???? No wonder the music industry is in such a sad state when so much junk is spewed out weekly yet a Legend such as Miss Wilson has a vast amount of her work unreleased and we are talking about close to 10 of the best albums of her career still in the vaults!! The only 70's set released is the Import of the 1974 masterpiece "Come Get To This" that has been in my car changer for months and I cannot get enough of this INCREDIBLY GREAT album!! Late 60's also is unreleased and listen to "Peace Of Mind" and Face It Girl, It's Over" in this sterling collection and one can quickly realize that these are classic Nancy and "The Sound Of Nancy Wilson...An Experience In Motion And Emotion" and "Easy" need to be released on Compact Disc!!! HELLO CAPITOL RECORDS!!!! "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" was my introduction to Nancy while in High School but by the late 60's Miss Wilson started making really great albums and these are what made me a real fan!!! "Now I'm A Woman" is the title song from the early 70's Gamble/Huff masterpiece while "Your As Right As Rain" is from the unreleased 1974 classic "All Is Fair In Love" which is a totally awesome set!! "Now" and "In My Loneliness (When We Were Young)" is from the classic 1976 "This Mother's Daughter" and "I've Never Been To Me" is the title song from this definitive version that is the stunning version that made this song a timeless classic. A soulful collection is 1978's "Music On My Mind" with "I'm Gonna Let Ya" representing that great set here. This is an engrossing collection that shows the artistry of a classic whose career thrived despite the indifference of a major label who from the late 60's on appeared to not realize what it had and clearly doesn't what it has in the vaults!!! Hopefully somebody with a real feeling for what is great in music can correct this but for now get this collection and enjoy a classic at the peak of her wonderous powers!!! Thank You Nancy Wilson!!!!"
