Customer Reviews:

Great album, worthless audio.......2004-03-15

Buyer beware: this Elektra version of the wonderful Judy Collins "Colors of the day" has bad mastering. The tape Elektra used was obviously played back with Dolby-C, while not encoded as such. This disc should have been taken off the market. Try and find the gold disc instead.

Just Add Headphones !.......2003-12-06

"Farewell To Tarwathie" and "Suzanne" from "Colors Of The Day-The Best Of Judy Collins" are regualarly featured on my online radio station "Acoustic Paradise" that broadcasts via live365.com. "She feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China...(Suzanne)...what's not to love !!!Radiant...Brilliant...Sparkling !

Sons of.......2003-10-21

This is the only CD I can find that as what I think is perhaps one of Judy Collins' most haunting and beautiful and sad songs. "Sons Of"... probably one of her least known as well. I remember hearing it for the first time when I came across the tape a few days after the shootings at Collumbine. And, the lyrics seemed so perfect. I listened to the song again shortly after September 11th. This song fits both tragedies so well. And, this CD is worth getting just for that song alone. But, there are many other good songs here as well.

Gold version is wonderful.......2002-01-22

I had this album 30 years ago, and wore it out. Two years ago I bought the Elektra CD, and was astonished at how bad it was. It made me wonder if I misremembered how good the album was. This Gold version is the answer -- the difference is like night and day. Whatever was done wrong when making that Elektra stinker, has been set right on the Gold CD. If you REALLY want to hear Judy Collin's voice in all its glory, this is the CD to buy. If I hadn't compared the two CDs myself, I would never have believed there could be so much difference.

Judy is great but the Elektra CD is awful.......2002-01-22

I was stunned by how bad this CD sounds. I'm no expert, so I can't give you a precise description with proper terminology. Suffice it to say it's a bad job of transferring the recordings to CD. I later bought the Gold version, and the difference is like night and day. Judy Collin's voice is too wonderful to let this awful CD prevent you from really hearing her. The Gold version is worth the extra money.
