Great album...but get Razor & Tie instead.......2007-03-13

If you are a fan of these great early Partridge Family albums, then you owe it to yourself to buy the 1993 Razor & Tie versions instead. Why? Razor & Tie did not tamper with the sound quality, as a result, Razor & Tie discs sound just like the records you remember. I made the mistake of buying the re-masters thinking they would sound even greater; NOT!

I've heard both versions using top of the line monitor speakers, and these Buddha discs have too much bass added for their own good. They also sound flat, because too much noise reduction was used, thus taking away the sparkle which sounded so good on the Razor & Tie versions. You can still find these Partridge Family albums on Razor & Tie right here on Amazon.

The Partridge Family albums on Razor & Tie were the debut album, Up To Date, Sound Magazine, Shopping Bag and The Christmas album.

I LOVE BUBBLEGUM!!!.......2006-06-26

This is my favorite Partridge Family album. I play it over and over again. Every song on it is so well crafted (even the ones without David Cassidy are wonderful too) that you can't help but singing. God, that sounds so damn corny, but what can I do? I can never get enough of bubblegum music (or baroque pop, as I like to call it). Singing My Song (with its great chorus), I Can Feel Your Heartbeat (with a fantastic rhythm guitar track), and the powerful Point Me in the Direction of Albequerque are highlights. I never really cared for the TV show, but I adore the music....

Still a star.......2006-02-25

I am gradually re-collecting all the Partridge Family albums, the sound is just as appealing as 30 years ago and David Cassidy's voice still makes me go weak at the knees. This is not one of the best albums but has a number of classic tracks and is a must for all fans.

So nice..........2006-02-08

I heard all these songs when they first came out from my sister's record player in the next room. Didn't think much of 'em.

Fast forward 30 years; I now have a master's degree in music. Something makes me buy this CD. And you know what? These are GREAT SONGS! (Of course, let's recognize that they were written by some of the top songwriters of the day, and sung and performed by top studio people, including the Love Generation.)

But it's a shame, in a way, that these songs don't reach a wider audience simply because people think that if it's a Partridge Family song, it's got to be stupid. No way. These are great examples of the songwriter's craft.

I adore Only a Moment Ago (a poignant story about the end of the 1960s); I'm on the Road (tremendous cruising tune); and To Be Lovers (an absolutely stunning background vocal arrangement). But the best for me is I Really Want to Know You; it has a sweet, sweet melody and performance, with some of the most romantic lyrics I've ever heard: "I want to look behind the mirror of your eyes... and see the secret world your words disguise... the birthplace of your sighs."

wish the songs were longer.......2005-12-22

I enjoyed Sound Magazine more, maybe because I owned it as a kid. I remember hearing many of these songs on the TV show and like the ones that are fast paced. My favorite is I Can Feel Your Heartbeat but I wish it were longer! Brand New Me, Bandala, and Somebody Wants to Love You are all good to dance to (or dust the furniture) and I go around with Singing My Song stuck in my head all day after hearing it. I don't like I Really Want to Know You, Only a Moment Ago and To Be Lovers; all seem sappy to me. I realize the show was supposed to sound like a family singing and didn't start out to be a vehicle for David Cassidy but when I hear a song without his voice I am picturing the family and thinking, now who is this supposed to be singing? The redhaired kid? It sounds like a small male chorus; must be the redhaired kid AND the little kid on the drums. The CD is too short, but still gets 4 stars as I enjoy the fast songs so much.
