Customer Reviews:

Fine album, but wait for the official release.......2004-05-11

Do yourself a favor and get this album on vinyl then transfer it to CD-R. The import disc is a definite bootleg with questionable quality plus a couple of the songs from the album are missing. On top of that, the stereo is reversed...! Try Gemm.com or other vinyl vendors to find it.

When it does get it's official CD release, I hope Ron Dante puts the remixed version of "C'mon Girl" on it. The strings throughout really make a difference.

Import is a Pirate.......2002-06-17

The reason this CD is of such poor quality is that it is a bootleg. All of Ron Dante's masters are now owned by Ron, but there are several pirates out there who still put out Archies and Ron Dante material. Also watch out for the Varese/Fuel 2000 Archies CD.... 100% pirated! Even big companies like Varese/Universal can get conned! Be careful and stick with Ron's authorized releases!

Don't bother!!!!.......2002-03-26

First let me say I know this album well, and it is essential for any fan of Ron Dante, or the Archies. The problem here is that the mastering is so godawful poor! It seems to be mastered from a record-and judging from the nauseating sound of all the side two tracks (6-10), the record used was pressed off-center!!! Artwork bears no resemblance to original, and mine came with a booklet but no tray card! Add to that the fact that 2 tracks are missing from the original release, and this makes the disc useless. Most Dante fans already have a copy of the vinyl, and that is a superior copy to own at this point. Wait for Ron to reissue this himself-he'll do better...

Ron Dante, A hell of a singer.......2002-02-14

I first heard this album when I was 13 yrs. old. I had taken the album off the back of a delivery van. My original album had NOT FOR SALE / FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY stamped into the jacket. Unforunately a so called friend decided to sell all my albums (800) in all while storing them for me. I just can't say enough good things about the songs on this one. They have a good message to them and will lift your spirits if your down.

Where the music takes you.......2000-07-25

I must admit that whenever I need a quick escape to fantasyland, I can find no better guide than Mr. Ron Dante to take me there! I have been an avid fan of The Archies music for the majority of my life, so when I found out that Ron actually did have a solo career after his run with the group, I had to investigate.

For the most part, this album is just a quick step away from being an Archies album. The same fun-loving quality in the songs is definitely there, right along with Ron's always happy voice. The one thing missing from this album is in the sound quality. Even though the album features some of the best session musicians of the time, there are places where the production seems a little thin. This may just be due to a bad transfer from the original LP, but I cannot honestly state this, never having heard the original recording.

I do believe I can honestly state that the true Archies/Ron Dante fan will really take a liking to this album, and those whom have already heard it are probably hoping that it will see re-release along with the Archies catalog currently being re-issued by RKO/Unique. Perhaps RKO/Unique will give it the sound quality it deserves and add back the missing track(s?). My favorite tracks include the anthemetic "A Million Voices"; the Archie-esque "How Do You Know" & "Mr. Sun"; the honest sublety of "C'mon Girl"; and, of course the two higlights of the album "Let Me Bring You Up" (the album's hit single), and "Go Where The Music Takes You", a song very reminiscent in it's lyrical styling as the song "Make Your Own Kind of Music".
