Listened to this CD on headphones tonight. Reminded what a beautiful song Unlock The Door is. So great. Restoring these tracks to their original wide stereo mixes really is nice. Some people swear by mono, which is seemingly what Ron was trying to do by remixing the songs on the '93 Best Of. But in this case the separation of the instruments really benefits the listening experience, in my opinion. The drumming on It Wasn't Just The Morning really stands out, for instance. Hal Blaine, I'm assuming. Incredible work.

That's the same order as the U.S. LP, Bob.

By the way, Tony Rounce has told me that the sequencing on the new CD of the Photographs Of Feeling tracks is the way it is because that's the order the songs are in on the master tape.

The order of tracks 13-22 on the Footsteps album is:

San Francisco Woman
A Nameless Request
West Virginia Summer Child
Go Ask Your Man
Remember The Rain
I Just Let It Take Me
The World Is Just A B Movie Meets Reno Funtown USA
We've Never Spoken
Oh Babe Take Me Home
Eleanor

I am unsure about whether the order is the same as on the original Photographs album.
I listened to part of the album only once, in a record store. (I decided not to buy it at the time, kicked myself forever afterwards.) It was a long time ago, but I know for sure that San Francisco Woman was track 1, and I am almost certain that A Nameless Request was NOT track 2, I think it was track 4, might have been track 3.

I think I was a little freaked out by San Francisco Woman because it was so unlike anything off the Don't Be Concerned album. At first I thought the shop assistant had put the wrong album on the turntable by mistake!

I recently gave my UK Fontana copy of Photographs Of Feelings to a pal and can't remember if the CD release matches this or not but if you check the sleeve, not the vinyl of the US album you get the ACE CD running order! Even more important than this and the mis-spelling of Elinor - World Pacific got this half wrong as well, the vinyl credits Eleanor whereas the sleeve spells her name correctly - is just how damned good this LP is. I've had the CD on almost constant rotation these past couple of weeks and there is not a hint of the dreaded second albumitis. Especially considering how quickly this release followed the Don't Be Concerned LP the songs, production and quality on the second set are as good and at times I think better, than the first. Amazing.

I think the sequencing on the original 'Photographs Of Feeling' album is much better than the crazy way those songs are sequenced on the new CD. Same songs, but it's strange that they didn't match them up in the same order.

.. the back cover list as gospel!!!!

Photographs of Feeling tracks...

.. yep 13-22 are the same with one change - Eleanor is actually spelled Elinor...

Rob
the running order as published on Amazon is totally different to the original LP of Photographs of Feeling. Don't be Concerned order remains the same as the LP. Very odd. Wonder why they changed the order?

To any UK fans.....

Are tracks 13-22 on this CD the original running order of the UK Photographs of Feeling LP? The U.S. version is different....

My copy has just shipped! Hopefully it'll arrive by Monday-Tuesday.

FYI - Collector's Choice Music has this new cd featured in their latest catalog. It is available on their website as well.

No, I just check the websites of a couple of the online retailers (CD Universe, Amazon etc...) every few days or so to see if anything's changed as far as release dates for this CD, as well as a couple other re-issues I've ordered recently. Nothing ever seems to come out on the original projected date. The U.S. sites all seem to be saying June 26 now for this one. I don't really understand, because there's not going to be a separate U.S. CD. They're just going to be selling the same CD that the UK gets. Crazy that it would take 4 weeks after the UK release to get to these shores. Oh well.....it'll get here eventually.

EDIT : Oops, nevermind. I just checked a couple UK sites, and it seems to be delayed there as well. Looks like at earliest June 4th over there now.
